Ashtray Bin

AKA Ashtray Bin combines a standing waste bin with an ashtray at the top. The catalog shows an upper perforated tray and a separate side opening in the cylindrical body. These two access points give the product its recognizable dual-purpose layout.

The catalog identifies a removable ashtray for emptying and cleaning. Steel, gold and black with gold trim are illustrated. The color combination applies to the exterior; the dark side opening should not be confused with a separate body-color option.

Use the size table to plan the position of this standing bin. Consider access both to the top tray and the side opening, and leave room for emptying. Include your preferred exterior combination when requesting information from AKA.

Two access points, one body

The upper ashtray and side waste opening should both remain reachable in the chosen position. Rotating the body so that the side opening faces a wall defeats the purpose of that entry even when the top remains exposed. Review how people approach the product and where the person emptying it will stand. The standing format is a useful visual organizer for the two functions, but the exact size and exterior combination still need to be selected for the intended location.

Separate the functions during use

Treat the upper tray and side waste entry according to their intended purposes. The catalog identifies the removable ashtray, making access for emptying an important part of the placement decision. A bin with an ashtray is not automatically a fire-rated container; no such rating is specified here. For a location with particular operational requirements, request the corresponding documentation rather than inferring performance from the metal appearance or the presence of an ashtray.

Choosing the exterior combination

The steel, gold and black-with-gold examples create visibly different relationships between the body, top and side opening. Select the complete combination, particularly if matching the bin to other fixtures. The color of the opening itself can appear dark because of the interior and should not be mistaken for an additional body color. Compare a physical color sample where precise coordination matters. Keep the same combination name in the inquiry and subsequent project specification.

Size and service access

Check the recorded body dimensions against the intended position and leave space to remove the upper tray. Avoid a placement that makes it difficult to reach the side opening or clean the floor around the base. The exterior size does not establish the capacity of an internal ash container. Ask for that information if it affects the intended service routine. For multiple units, identify the selected size for each position instead of assuming that all standing ashtrays share the same proportions.

Exterior choices

Steel / Gold / Black / Gold

The options above are the documented exterior choices for this record. Screen swatches are an indication, not a physical color standard. Where a combination names both body and top, keep the complete name in your selection. Availability of a particular combination for a particular size can be confirmed with AKA sales.

Reading the size table

The size table on this page is the reference for the variants recorded under this model. A capacity field and a dimension field answer different questions: capacity is a volume, while dimensions describe the physical space occupied. Keep the complete size row when comparing products. If a row contains an original dimension string without named axes, retain that string in the inquiry and ask for the corresponding technical drawing when necessary. Do not rearrange the numbers based on how tall or wide the product appears in a photograph. Fields that are not specified should not be treated as zero.

Choosing for the actual room

Think about the route people take through the room, the objects beside the product and the practical access needed for its normal use. A product that looks balanced in a staged photograph may need a different position in your own layout. For a project with several units, make a short list of positions and assign the model and size to each. Evaluate placement suggestions against the actual waste stream or accessory use; they are planning guidance rather than a technical certification for every environment.

Surface appearance and fingerprints

Fingerprint resistance is a shared surface property of the AKA range. It does not remove the need for routine cleaning or mean that the surface can never show marks. The visible result also depends on light and viewing angle: reflections on a steel or gold exterior can make a photographed surface appear brighter or darker. When matching several items, review them in the intended lighting and confirm the exterior combination. Keep surface properties separate from color names and from any unverified claim about the alloy grade.

Care and cleaning

Follow the care instructions supplied for the exact product and finish. For routine exterior care, use a soft, clean cloth and a cleaning method confirmed as suitable for that surface. Avoid abrasive treatment or experimenting with strong products when compatibility has not been established. Pay attention to the rim, base and areas touched during normal use. Treat removable components according to their own instructions, and do not assume that a lid assembly or other mechanism can be immersed simply because the body has a steel appearance.

A useful specification for AKA sales

A clear inquiry helps distinguish similar products and reduces the need for follow-up questions. Include the model name, selected size row, exterior color combination and the number of units required. Add the intended position and any clearance restriction that may affect the choice. If your project requires a specific technical property, list it as a requirement to be confirmed rather than assuming it from a photograph. The product inquiry link carries the selected options to the contact page; review them before sending the message.

Request information

Request product information or a catalog from AKA sales. Include your selected model, size and color so the team can respond to the exact version you are considering. For projects, add the required quantities and any installation constraints. This website introduces the collection and receives inquiries; product selection continues through direct contact with AKA.
