Project: Finch West LRT Project

Project Type: Transit Infrastructure

Location: Toronto, ON

Products Used:
Recycling Bin CRC-817

The Finch West LRT line is a key addition to Toronto’s expanding transit network, connecting communities across the city and supporting daily commuter travel. High passenger traffic at transit stations requires reliable site furnishings that support cleanliness, accessibility, and efficient waste management.

As part of the station infrastructure, custom-configured recycling bins were installed throughout multiple Finch West LRT station areas to provide convenient and durable waste disposal solutions for commuters.

Site Furnishings Solution

Transit stations require waste receptacles that can accommodate high passenger volumes while integrating seamlessly with the surrounding station architecture.

For the Finch West LRT project, Canaan provided custom-configured CRC-817 recycling bins designed specifically to meet the operational and aesthetic requirements of the transit environment.

These recycling stations were strategically placed in:

• Station plazas
• Platform access areas
• Pedestrian circulation zones

The custom configuration ensured the units aligned with the station’s architectural design while supporting efficient waste separation and disposal.

Key Products Installed

Key products installed include:

• Custom CRC-817 recycling bins designed for transit station environments
• High-capacity receptacles to accommodate heavy commuter traffic
• Durable waste stations positioned in high-visibility passenger areas

These installations support organized waste management while maintaining clear pedestrian flow within the stations.

Custom Design Integration

A key feature of this installation was the custom design adaptation of the CRC-817 recycling bins.

The units were customized to meet project-specific requirements, including:

• Configurations suited for multi-stream recycling
• Durable materials designed for high-frequency public use
• Finishes that complement the modern design of the LRT stations

This custom approach ensured the recycling infrastructure aligned with the functional needs of the transit system while maintaining visual consistency across station environments.

The installation of custom recycling stations along the Finch West LRT corridor demonstrates how thoughtfully designed site furnishings support efficient transit operations. Durable waste management infrastructure helps maintain clean station environments while providing convenient recycling access for daily commuters.

Through custom-configured solutions like the CRC-817 recycling bins, Canaan Site Furnishings contributes to functional and sustainable public transit spaces across Toronto.
