Dear Awesome Amazonbasics Waste Receptacle:

Before seeing you in person, I thought maybe you might prefer living in a more commercial or clinical setting, but when you finally arrived I was so impressed with your hard working attitude, solid build yet slim stature, and how well you fit in to our home. Unlike others with your same exterior makeup, you stay so nicely groomed and resist grime and smudges and you require such little maintenance to retain that wonderful glow that we've grown to admire. And would I hide you away in a dark room because of what you are? Heck no! You’re gorgeous and you shine! You’ve heard the compliments.

You're also as nice on the inside as you are on the outside and I knew from the minute I dressed you in that unfashionable loose fitting 15 gallon tall kitchen bag which you happily accepted, that you were the one for us. Others may have rejected that, but you easily made it fit and didn’t require anything custom or a special size. You're an easy keeper!

You work hard to keep us happy, organized and clean and you accept anything we may throw your way, no matter how disgusting it may be. You're discreet and you always keep a tight lid on it all. You perform your work in such a quiet, gentle manner and you never get mad and slam things. We seem to step on your foot a lot and you never complain or get crazy and flip your lid. It seems you’re able to hold a LOT in, and there's times I’m worried you’ll explode having to put up with the odor, weight and stress. But somehow you persevere. And you’re so happy when you see me approaching with a new Fabreeze Lemon scented Glad bag. You sure don't ask for much!

I just want you to know AmazonBasics Waste Receptacle, you’ve been a wonderful addition to our home and you’re AWESOME...don’t let anybody dare just call you plain old TRASH! Oh, and Thanks for not sharing anything with those 2 nosy trash-seeking canines that live here too!

Sincerely,
Kathleen

HAHAHAHA!

PS: Sorry…just being silly and couldn't resist throwing a little bit of humor into a Trash Can review, but this really is another great AmazonBasic product and were really happy with it. Thank you so much for the opportunity to receive and review such a great item.

Feel like a fool and should have listened to all other reviews. Garbage can comes dented and unable to close. Wanted to do a return and would not get another trash can for another TWO MONTHS. Save yourself and either go in person to buy a trashcan or order a different one without tons of reviews of it coming damaged

---

Quality is really bad. Didnt have to think twice when I returned it. Very weak and gets easily damaged, no durable at all. Worst trash can I ever tried. Get what you pay for. No recommended!

---

this item is well made and super good looking for the house, it is a nice item I must say, specially for the price, however, with that said....

I purchased it in August, only for it a month later, when it arrived it did not work correctly, the pedal opens the trash can but once I let go the peddle didn't go up and the can did not close by itself.

I called customer service with the complain to get a replacement, guess wha??? I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH FOR TH REPLACEMENT, this item takes an average of 1 to 2 months to deliver!!!! absurd.....

I bought this trash bin to hold recyclables. It is slightly smaller than my 13 gallon trash bin. The lid is soft close so it is very quiet. The plastic inner liner is easy to clean. The box it was shipped in was double wall cardboard - very sturdy. I'm impressed with the quality of the bin and the reasonable price.

---

This was purchased to replace a plastic kitchen trash can whose lid often fell off. This can is SUPER. It looks great, and with the plastic inner bin, I can put in the plastic garbage bag and it doesn’t rip/get stuck on the opening mechanism. The lid opens and closes smoothly, and doesn’t slam shut. It is heavy enough not to get pushed around like the other one did.

---

Very pleased with this trash can. It appears to be made very well with no plastic parts so it should last a long time. The pedal opens the lid quickly and quietly and the slowly closes which I really like!

---

Great garbage can for the price! Would buy again.
