Does the trash bag ever get "stuck" in this lid hinge? My current generic can keeps coming unhinged when lifting trash bag out.

I have used both the "p" bags & the 13 gallon bags and have never had a bag get stuck in the hinge.

we have used a few different types of garbage bags and the lid works fine all the time. what we really like is that the lid closes slowly and has a locking switch that keeps our dogs from getting into the trash.

No, it does not. We are more than pleased with this trash can. Really expensive but worth the money spent.

No. The lid fits very securely to the base of the can.I've used both "simple human "trash bags as well as generic ones from Sam's club and never had any problems with either one.

The hinge for the lid would prevent the bag from draping all the way around. It might not be a problem though. You might be able to put the bag on with the lid off and then slide the hinge in place. I really like having the hinged lid, Othewise a lid would be sitting on the counter taking up space while you are filling the bin.

Your reCap lid or a regular canning jar lid? My reCap has never been "stuck" I've had to ask my husband to use his muscle to assist me though.

Very good question. Opening the top is critical to usage of this unit. There are three ways of doing this: 1) To open the entire top (to load or unload a trash bag), hold on to the can's body while pulling up on the very edge of the lip of the lid. The whole top will swing up. 2) To open the top's hatch (normal use/disposing of trash), find the tab on the hatch lid (about an inch behind the lip). Pull the tab towards yourself to unlock the hatch; you can then open the hatch. I recommend locking the hatch after closing it to prevent odor issues. 3) If none of the above work, use a crowbar. Note that I do *not* recommend this.

I haven't tried it but I checked it out and it looks like if you were to remove 2 screws at the top of the can one in front and one in back the divider will come out. But there are two plastic rings that fit on the top of the can, one for each side that the trash bags tuck around to hold them in place. this might cause a problem as they would still be down the center. I guess you could remove them and just put the bag over the entire can and put the lid on to hold the bags.

Does your cat open the cabinet door? My dogs figured it out and pulled the bag out. I finally hung it higher on the drawer. No the lid does not lock

Yes, we do. There is a perforated hole in the rear of the inner pail that we pull the excess bag through to tighten it. It works great! We love this trash can!

Hello, the lid hinge appears to be glued on pretty well. I'm not sure how you could actually remove it. I have the lid on my Cube just flipped backwards to keep the top part open. It'll lie flat/flush against the back of the Cube just fine and since it's clear I don't really notice it. I hope this is helpful to you. I couldn't be happier with mine.Edited to add: Oops sorry, I didn't see this had already been answered.

its been a while since i had this but i believe it should just twist/pull/pop right off. i dont remember the lid being an issue for me.

I have been buying this product for years and have never had this issue like this one. Some one strong than yourself to open it :-)), or a rubber lid gripper you can find in most grocery stores. Good Luck, it's a great product!

when you hold it open for a while, specially of it fold it all the way back, it won't align completely when you close it, but it only only takes a few seconds to stretch it and close it so it aligns again. it's a minor issue with me because like I said I just push the lid from the area where it folds towards the front, a couple of pushes and it's back to closing perfectly, I can imagine with time I won't have to do it anymore.

Hi! I have tried with no luck purchasing other garbage bags. I have since purchased the simply human bags and have not looked back. To me it's worth the investment.

Yes it's fine. It fits less snuggly, and you'll have to shove the sides of the trash bag down but it definitely works. I do it when I run out of the H liners (happens a lot :) )

The lid will not come off. Also the gray flap will appear to be pulled down into the opening. It should make a whoosh sound whenreleased.

There have been no problems with bags ripping. The lid pops out for easy cleaning as that is the only part that touches the trash directly. Has been a real money and time saver on use of bags and trips to the outside garbage pail.

I purchased the same trash container and mine works perfectly. You must have a defective one.
