can you put this trash can right up against the wall or does it have to have back clearance to be able to open properly?

I know this is was posted awhile ago, but figured I would answer it for future buyers :) It will open properly against a wall, BUT I did notice that it has really started scratching the paint off of the cabinet we have ours against. I would suggest a two inch clearance gap to avoid this.

The lid portion is completely separate from the bin but stays on with mine. The hinges attach the lid opening part of the top portion. I do use it next to a wall but don't have problems.

The entire back is open. Without having it near to measure, plan on the width of the cabinet, less ~ 1-inch for the combined side boards. Also, the slide-out drawer is not full depth, so you have 3+inches behind it. I have a lot of wires/extension cords stuffed behind it, and still able to slide tight agains the wall, hiding all of them (except for the outlet on the wall). I hope that helps.

Unless fastened to a side wall, if stood so opening for storage is horizontal, it would tip over.

You can put it next to the wall, but not against it. I wouldn't recommend it b/c the hinge or lid may hit the wall. I put ours as close to the wall as we can get it and it is still a space saver.

Yes, I think 2 inches on the back and sides should be fine. Mine is set a little more than 1 inch on one side, and set a little away from the wall in the back. It is open on the other side.

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

Simple answer - No. Wall opening can be slightly smaller than advertised but not more than half an inch.

Yes, but it does not lock in very well. Still, I am happy with the set up. Ours is against the wall, and opening the small container with one hand rotates it against the wall. It works.

Should be good with opening. Ramp support is included, a little difficult putting together, but worth the extra space for sure.

I do not think the opening would be large enough. You could simply lift the lid like a normal trash can if you are buying it for its odor control properties.

No, the hinges are on the sides so when you open the doors they swing out. So whichever side was not against the wall would be able to open but not the other.

Yes, the back is straight and is parallel to the front so you would be able to put it along a straight wall.

You have to buy the door kit for it to work like that. If you don't it just opens like a normal cabinet and you have to pull the trash can out separately. We had ours that way for a while and it was a pain. Get the door kit like in the picture and it's way better.

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.

Install two screws into the wall that match holes in the back of the can. Above each hole is a short, narrow track. Insert the can holes over the screws and slide the can down the short tracks to hold it snugly to the wall. Would not install it on a door if the door is hollow. Otherwise, there won't be anything to hold the screws, or the can, in place. When installed properly, it works great! We've had no problems with ours and use it daily.

Yes, I have mine a few inches from the wall so i dont have to always move it to open it up
