How does the use of stone aggregates in concrete affect outdoor pet waste bin weight?

Concrete mixtures containing stone aggregates significantly increase the weight of outdoor pet waste bins, providing enhanced stability against tipping while posing challenges for relocation. The density of typical concrete (2,300-2,500 kg/m³) with stone aggregates creates substantially heavier pet waste containers compared to plastic or metal alternatives. Larger aggregate sizes generally produce denser concrete, though the weight advantage must be balanced against potential cracking in freeze-thaw cycles. Proper installation of these heavy bins requires permanent placement planning, as their weight prevents casual movement. While the added mass deters animal interference and wind displacement, it complicates maintenance access and may require specialized equipment for initial positioning. The weight-to-durability ratio makes stone aggregate concrete ideal for high-traffic public spaces where vandal resistance outweighs portability needs.
