Wondering where the lid hinge is. Is inside so the can sits flush with the wall or does it come out on the back leaving a space behind?

It has an external covered hinge. I have mine about 1 1/2 inches away from the wall. That seems to be enough. Note, however, that the hinge area is about 2 inches on the back of the can. So basically 3 1/2 inches of spacing is what you need from the wall. (I measured.) That's not much; works well. This is a nice can.

It's behind. Covered with black plastic, but it probably sticks out about 1.5".

The hinge for the lid is on the back of the can and encased in a black plastic shell. The can will sit away from the wall by about an inch and a half. I do have to say this is a really great product, though. I happen to love mine.

The hinge sticks out the back 1 1/2". Hinge is slow closing motion, so it's really nicely done.

No, the hinge for the lid is on the back. There are slots in both sides to hang it on. I have mine on the drivers side and it sits so far back it doesn't get in the way.

It comes out the top. No problem putting it against the wall. Despite other comments, I have never had a leak of any kind and I have two of them, one of which is 4 yrs. old.

it's flush against the wall but you can put a spaces between the wall and the headboard. also I have mine lifted off the floor because it was too low but other than that I love it. enjoy.

The trash can itself is abouat 3" from the back of the cabinet when in closed position. There is also about an inch or two left in the front between that trash can and the door, allowing for the handle in folded position. I didn't use this for trash, I used it to organize all my small tupperware type things and lids. Wonderful! It pulls out and I just have to reach to find instead of sitting on the floor and digging through the "avalanche".

Yep. Dont expect a secure fit though. If you pick up the can and squeeze too hard, the lid will come off. It's good enough to keep contents from drying out if you left it in the fridge or something.

Yes the lid is close enough to keep odors out. I love it and wouldn't consider buying another type of trash can. I am very pleased.

The back is not flush. There are protrusions around the mounting holes to hold the body of the box away from the wall it's mounted to, to prevent rain from building up. You could probably grind off those protrusions, though - it's just plastic.

No, the only way the lids stay open is to step on the foot pedal. I thought that could be a nuisance but it's hands free and I don't actually find a problem with it. It's a great garbage can.

It's hinged by the top back-side. It just snaps in when closed (when pressed down).

On my house the mailbox sits nice and flush with the wall. There is just a slight bit of room so the lid will clear the wall and open all the way. Hope this helps you, because I have had no problems with my new box. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Maryann

The lid fits into a groove at the top of the jar. It fits well and stays put until lifted off. The only problem we've had is that it's hard to keep it filled.---JOHN

11-1/2" is the lid front to back and when I measure the lid and hinge together it is 13-1/4" this can is awesome. Easy to keep clean, the lid closes nice and quiet, it fits perfectly at the end of my island.

The lid is attached to the top frame, which will come off, so you just have the can itself. However, the metal arms that normally hold the trash bag in place are within the top frame. So theoretically, you could remove the lid(and top frame), and put a bag into it the can, and perhaps, just wrap it along the edge to hold in place. Hope that helps.

Yes, but might have to put a spacer between the holder and the wall so the lid opens properly

It needs to be 4-5 inches away from the wall in order for the lid to be opened.

Yes, the lid is hinged at the back of the container and does not come completely off of the top. Hope this helps.
