Park Benches: Three Unsuspecting and Unusual Uses

The classic look of wooden park benches has adorned many environments, but the benches required a lot of care so weren’t always the seating of choice. Many designers are taking a new look at the furniture because of inexpensive and maintenance-free recycled plastic park benches.

Furniture For Shower Areas

Furnishing gym and school locker rooms is a challenge. The hot humid environment means most materials such as wood or some types of metals deteriorate rapidly. The humidity also encourages the growth of bacteria so it’s important to find furniture that is easy to clean. Constant painting of metal or replacement of decayed furniture can drive up costs.

Waste Wise has seen increased interest in placing recycled plastic park benches in these unforgiving venues. Plastic repels water and is easy to clean with just the wipe of a cloth. The material doesn’t deteriorate in the heat or humidity. Our inexpensive furniture comes in a host of creative designs and colors so locker room seating doesn’t have to be the traditional “ugly but functional”.

Shopper Respites

Some shopping mall designers don’t like benches. They feel that it encourages people to loiter instead of shopping. In reality, giving shoppers a place to rest allows them to buy for longer. When benches face the storefronts, then visitors window shop even as they are sitting there, giving the mall is free promotion. In reality benches increase rather than decrease sales.

Recycled plastic park benches offer an inexpensive solution to shopping center seating needs. They are weatherproof so work great in outdoor settings, but are also attractive and comfortable for even upscale indoor malls. The furniture is easy to care for, and important factor in large busy malls where the benches get a lot of wear and tear. Plastic benches are durable and last nearly forever.

Beautiful Backyards

We’ll admit that recycled plastic park benches probably aren’t the first thing most homeowners think of when they consider furniture for the back porch, but that’s because they tend to think of their local fast food restaurant. Waste Wise benches aren’t just inexpensive, durable and easy to care for. They are also attractive.

Many homeowners spend a lot of time making their houses and their yards look beautiful. You don’t want some ugly piece of furniture in the middle of that, but that’s exactly why you should look at Waste Wise furniture. Our benches look just like more expensive furniture made of wood but at a fraction of the price. Plus you’ll know that you are helping the environment by reusing materials and not cutting down trees.
