Has anyone used this as a trash can?

I use mine for dog food, but I don't see why you couldn't use for garbage. Not sure how bag would fit inside. Simplehuman sells trash cans though so I might check those out first.

The SimpleHuman trash can is beyond amazing. I bought the 30 litre round step can, and it is pricy, but for something you use several times a day, it is definitely worth it. The stainless steel has a special finish and always looks shiny and never gets fingerprints. The foot mechanism just works perfectly, and the lid slowly closes. Sounds silly to get excited about a trash can. It's that good. [So good that I am buying the SimpleHuman pet food container (review pending)]

I use it for a trash can in my bedroom. I have a dog who pulls all the trash out no matter how uninteresting it is. Most trash cans have a foot pedal opener. Since I'm in bed the top opening is much better. My dog hasn't opened it yet, but it doesn't usually have anything in it that smells good. He might try harder if I threw leftovers in it.

I use the 30 l can for Dog-food.I do have a smaller trashcan madre by Simplehuman, it is round and comes with liner-bags.

No, I have not used it as a trash can. Since the latching mechanism is one you would have to open/close by hand, as a trash can it might be cumbersome. That said, "IF" you are looking to keep your pets out of the trash, this would definitely work, and you would have the freshest trash on the block - LOL! Wondering: why not look at the Simplehuman trash cans?

No, I do not believe it's large enough for this purpose. I use it for trash & recycle.

I havent but I dont think it would be a great idea. The material is strong but i dont know if it is that strong. Maybe a boogie board...

No. In fact I found that it was not even very good inside my trailer...the lid kept coming off if my hand caught it while dropping trash in it. I don't even use it now...it sits on a shelf. Will probably just either garage sale it or dump it into plastic recycle.

No I don't believe it could be used for trash. It is a relatively small opening and small cylinder shape.

I used one and it held up very well. The litter level is very shallow , but I was surprised that there was no leaks whatsoever. My males pee backwards and I thought for sure it would leak through the back or side walls. But to my surprise.. no leaks anywhere..Hope that helps..I also kept it longer than I should have and added litter a few times before tossing it :) Barbara

Absolutely not. This trash can is really fragile. Mine was dented up and damaged just from transit, and it was packed well.

I've used it for my garbage and also one in my recycling bin. One thing Ive noticed though, even though it's mint-scented, the odor of the garbage comes through the bag pretty strongly-Even though I use a 13 gallon closed lid aluminium bin. So I have to change this brand of bag more reguarly than when I used Hefty bags or similar...

I have not but it is large enough to accommodate one and t this thing is very very sturdy. I consider myself very hard to please and let me tell you something, I have not found any thing about this that I am not please about. It is the best. Putting it together might be a bit challenge but it would be well worth it in the end. Go for it. I highly recommend it.

I have not specifically used it for that but I think it would work very well. It's size and maneuverability and suction power would make it ideal for taking it from room to room where you may wish to store items.

I don't seem to have a problem with it, using the Kirkland trash bags from Costco. You could always put something at the bottom to take up space and support the bag, like an empty plastic gallon of milk container.

I have not. It appears to be sturdy enough for craft foam but I can't vouch for it.

A 13 gallon bag becomes too big for it, but I use it anyway. Its a decent trash can for office room

There are two independent sides on this unit, each side is 12"W x 17"D x 25"H. I checked one of my trash cans that is 12"W x 16"D x 19"H and it would fit except the width was very tight. But, my trash can it flared out through the middle so if your trash can was straight sided it should fit just fine. You would still have room on the other side for storage for heavier pots and pans, etc. I have my cast iron stored in this unit, that's how sturdy the shelving is. It was a great buy for me.

I have been using this metal trash can for several months without any problems. It seems study & well made. I like the the step lid opening. It opens smoothly, closes silently, & no problem with lid not closing. I purposely bought a smaller can to fit under my kitchen sink, but I take trash out daily. Only problem, I bought the bags made for this can when I bought trashcan & they didn't stay on very well. I bought slightly larger bag size at he grocery store & no more problems.

I think it would do well enough. What might work better for a longer duration and for about the same price is a small galvanized trashcan that had the lid and snap handle on it that keep the lid pressed down firm. I used one of these for 13 years in the open elements of N TX before it finally deteriorated. I used it for the exact same purpose you mention. You can find them and Home Depot or probably here on Amazon. I think they are 13 gallon containers. The plastic on this one here will probably have an outdoor life of only a couple of years if open to the rain and the sun. Hope this helps.

Did not get it for use of cans. My item is used for display of my collection of treasure boxes and also the display of my pewter collection. I have found it most useful for that. Took a measure of the shelf for you and and it is 3" deep shelf so I would think a 3" can would be able to be used very well and most likely a lot of them.
