Amazon Basics 30L Dual Bin Soft-Close Trash Can

Well, I love the low profile of the thing, but the two cans inside are a little crammed in and fussy to get in with a bag, and they are quite tall and skinny, so you end up wasting a good bit of conventional trash bag space (pro tip – use that hole they show you in the pictures to stuff your extra trash bag into and it works better if you’re not using the kind with the built in tie strap. I am not sure if there was a picture with dimensions of each internal can, but your typical takeout square container is going in diagonally, so when we get takeout, we bag the empties and take them straight out to the garbage cans. It works well for our space and allows for the sorting between trash and recycling obviously. Basically, it gets the job done… just wish we could have gone a tiny bit bigger.

I don’t recall garbage bins being so damn expensive and my friend actually spotted this one on one of those flash sale things so i snatched it up and for the size and split use it’s perfect. The bins are small so if you have a lot of trash this ain’t the can for you. I live in an apt and need to empty the trash often to avoid bugs and until i start composting this bin is perfectly size, sturdy and closes securely. Have not found anything negative about this bin. Collects my trash and doesn’t complain. I think i’ll keep him around. 😉

Cubo de basura de dos compartimentos, accionable con el pie, de un tamaño ideal para una cocina de dimensiones normales y buen acabado metálico, que da un aspecto elegante. Cada compartimiento es de un color. Es fácil de limpiar.

I find it absurd that people can rate this product poorly for its small size. The size is clearly mentioned in the listing. I think it’s up to the buyer to figure out what dimensions they need before ordering, or if they order incorrectly because they didn’t do their due diligence, that’s understandable but certainly don’t blame the seller for your own mistake. Just because the thing doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for someone else (some of us live in tiny apartments, single rooms in boarding houses, dorms, or have small offices or art studios…some want to separate their paper and plastic from trash in their bathrooms, some aren’t using this for trash at all, be imaginative and don’t assume your needs should be the needs of others or blame he company for making products to suit a variety of consumers’ needs. There’s a lid for every pot (or trash can as the case is here).

This is the smallest dual bin trash can I could find and I needed just this size for my mom’s bedroom. It closes perfectly, meaning the lid comes down all the way when you release the pedal. It’s very nice looking and and as well-built as SimpleHuman trash cans (I read Amazon contracts with SimpleHuman to make some of their trash bins so this might be one of those). I use SimpleHuman size D trash bags (I actually use cheaper dupes made by PlasticPlace size D, they are cut precisely like the SimpleHuman bags, the ones in this size are thin though so if you are putting very heavy things in the trash, you might want a stronger bag, I guess they assume such a small bin would’t require the thickness, but there are times when that’s not the case). The D is a little loose but works well, I think R might fit more snugly and I might try that next but D is fine and the lid closes just fine with D bags in place. Not much more to say about this nice-looking small dual-bin receptable. Very well made and well designed.

Looks very nice, functions well – only thing is it’s a bit small but suitable for one person and good for not taking up too much space.
