Absolutely, yes! We get this question all the time from landscape architects, city planners, and property managers, and I’m genuinely excited to tell you about our multi-functional urban bench collection. We don’t just bolt a bin onto the side and call it a day—we’ve designed fully integrated pieces where the seating, waste receptacle, and greenery work together in one clean, coherent unit.
Our most popular option is the MetroCombo series. Picture a sleek, heavy-gauge steel bench with an integrated planter box seamlessly attached to one armrest end. You can fill it with hardy shrubs, seasonal flowers, or even a small tree, instantly turning a plain seating area into a green pocket within the streetscape. The planter itself is made of the same weather-resistant corten or powder-coated stainless steel as the bench, and it includes a hidden water reservoir and drainage layer to keep plants healthy without maintenance headaches. On the other end, some clients opt for an integrated recycling or trash bin module—it uses the same faceplate and discrete drop-in hatch so it never looks like an afterthought.
We also have the Cleansweep Bench, which is a real game-changer for high-traffic bus stops and plazas. Here the bin is built right into the central support column, accessible from both sides. The aperture is angled and hooded so birds can’t get in and rainwater drains out, but it stays surprisingly discreet. You can even choose a planter crown on top so greenery cascades over the bench area. It makes the whole installation feel less like street furniture and more like a designed landscape feature.
I should mention that everything is engineered for real-world abuse. The welded joints are fully sealed, coatings are marine-grade for coastal cities, and the planter and bin liners are completely independent compartments so there’s zero risk of soil contamination or rust from trash leakage. We’ve also designed them for easy servicing—the bin side unlocks with a standard maintenance key and our liners are standard size so your cleaning crews won’t need special bags.
If you’re working with a specific streetscape masterplan, we actually offer a custom configuration service. You tell us your preferred bench length (from 1.5m up to 3m continuous seating), whether you want the planter left, right, or both, and if you need a single trash module or separate waste and recycling streams. We’ll send you a 3D visualization showing exactly how it fits your space, including footing details and root volume for the plantings. The lead time for bespoke orders is typically four to six weeks, but we hold stock on the standard MetroCombo in anthracite grey and corten finishes for projects that need to move faster.
Honestly, the feedback from communities has been fantastic. Cities tell us that when you place a bench-with-planter next to a plain bench, people gravitate to the green one every time, and littering drops noticeably around the integrated bin models because the disposal point is right there without being ugly. So yes, not only do we offer a version—it’s become one of the core pieces of our urban collection. If you want, I can put together a sample pack with technical spec sheets, case studies from three recent city center installations, and finish samples. Just let me know where to send it.
