Can you put this trash can up against the wall (does the slim hinge help) or will it still scratch/ hit the wall when opened?

You have to leave a gap of about 1-1 1/2 inches between the wall and the trash canl. Otherwise the lid may hit the wall if you step on the pedal too quick and the hinge could break after many times doing this.

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.

I have mine against a wall and leave the lid open most of the time because it is easier to put clothes into the bags. The lid does not fold all the way to the back of the sorter. It opens to about a 90 degrees angle and will stay open in that position.

We walll mounted ours...resting on the floor could make opening it a bit trickier because it opens like a regular door hinge...

It shouldn't scratch that easily if your careful with placing the items on it. Its made of styrene plastic that should stand up to normal placing of items.

Once you push the tab to open the plastic access door it should lift right out with no problem. Nothing holds it in place but gravity, there are no clips or tabs keeping the dust bin inside.

It's kinda like a sticker that you smooth out with a plastic piece...similar to a credit card. I would go too bumpy because smoothing it on the wall could cause the bumps to poke through but it's fairly thick. I'd say try it unless the wall is really rough.

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.

Yes, you see about 1-inch of the side. It can't be flush or the door couldn't be opened. Against a white or light wall it is not noticeable. It is white plastic, so don't know how well it would work to paint the edge to match a wall.

unfortunately it doesn't straighten out. The hinges only allow it to open as far as shown in the picture. So no, I'd say it cannot go on the wall.

Ours was installed a couple inches above the floor but when you open it you'll have to lift it so it doesn't scratch when you swing it back

yes, it barely hits it for me. It hits it fairly evenly, so it is not an issue. it does not damage the metal top edge, so unless you don't like hearing it hit, just don't use as much force to push it open. my 3-yr-old is less aware, and bangs it pretty well. i can't fault him if he is throwing his trash out!

The flat small box is safer! (I sliced my thumb on the opening part on the box -where you put the refill wipes- the first day it arrived. I should of went and got stitches. I wrote a review on that.) And no, it won't hang on the wall; unless you take off the top completely and makeshift/maneuver it to somehow. It stands about 5 inches tall and about 2 1/2 inches wide. At first glance, you know what it is.

As far as in the wall it would be extremely hard to get to and if any adjustment, lint cleaning it would be tough. I recommend an open area or possibly an access door.

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.

Mine is also very hard to open. I do not have to hit a wall. But I open with extreme caution when I open. Other than issue opening, it is awsome.

This does not attach to the wall. It isn't an eye sore to me, better than a huge rectangular wipe container with the lid always popping up and dryig wipes. I like the design, the wipes come out easily and it's easy to pop open and close.

it's pretty heavy duty and since it has no lid, I'm not sure how I / you would like it not being able to be sealed after the garbage is in it before you empty it. I actually think something with a lid would do better. Plus, since it's so narrow, a lot of things may not fit in it - kinda depends on how you sort your trash. If you did use it as a kitchen can, you'd want to put some type of plastic trash bag in it as a liner.
