Trash Enclosures

Unsightly waste areas are a persistent problem for building owners, property managers, and municipalities across the New York metropolitan area — and custom-fabricated trash enclosures from Kaufman Iron Works are the solution built to last. Kaufman Iron Works fabricates steel trash enclosures that screen waste containers while providing durability and access for collection — from compact garbage enclosures for residential properties to large-scale dumpster enclosures for commercial and municipal sites.

Our enclosures meet municipal requirements and enhance property appearance with clean lines and heavy-gauge steel construction that holds up against daily use and the elements. Properties where refuse screening is required by code or simply demanded by good taste benefit from Kaufman’s garbage enclosures and waste container screens that integrate seamlessly with existing architecture. Hide the necessary without sacrificing function.
