Why did they replace Lisa with Adam?
I just toss my trash out the window into the back of my neighbors Mustang. He lost his license after a road rage incident after realizing he'd blown $180 on a hunk of recycled tuna cans to store his bong. So, until someone tells him about IKEA having everything to solve that problem for twenty bucks no one's gonna care.
After 10+ years of heavy use, my Polder Wink can broke. I’m sorry they don’t make these anymore. I’m not a big fan of the flip up lid variety, but want an enclosed can. And since I typically have both hands full, need a foot petal. These reviews come in handy.
Ignore anyone in comments talking about Simple Human trash cans, they're obviously fake commenters plugging a product

That simple human looks way too pretty and beautiful to put trash in – I worry that the trash bag would be visible at the top and ruin the clean lines of such a nice modern design…
Now we will get anti covid trash cans with wireless capability and tv capability, odor filter bag liners and motion sensors hahahha. This is going crazy. This world is going nuts we need some germs in this life people. i am a germophobe myself but the years pass by the lazier we get..hahahah. God bless. Just get something under 40 because now they have bags that are clorox odor control, glade and whatever they have that make the trash stink even more, making the bags cost more money.smh
Why the heck can't we get a divided trash can one side for de compost able things. Food scraps cabbage cores etc and the other side for plastic metal etc
I bought a Simple Human trash can too and I’m really pleased with it. It is just the right shape and size for my kitchen, performs well and feels like a quality product and I’d got so fed up with the cheap one that I’d had before. It might be expensive for a trash can, but it is something you use multiple times every day.
Talk about throwing your money away literally for that trash can. No thanks.
I have a $30 sensor opening trash can and I have owned it for 6 years. It has 4 AA batteries and still has the original ones in it. I love it because I can crack eggs and not touch the lid. I would not even know why I would replace it. If it ever did stop working it still has a spot to manually open and close it. As a standard 13gal container I empty it once a week without any smell and I think it's been an excellent purchase.
what am I doing with my life…
Winning Trash Can for the Bill Gates household.
I love my SIMPLE HUMAN. They work. I also love their trash bags. They don’t rip & they fill the cans.

Who the hell pays $185 for a kitchen trash can lol. Call me crazy but i’d rather just get the cheap sterilite and deal with the extra work of having to open it by hand. But tbh i found a good stainless steel can at home depot by their store brand for 35 dollars. Looks good and works good
pov: you're at a kpop consert

Have you tried the Rubbermaid SlimJim?
I have the simple human it was a wedding gift in 1991 still going strong. I am a kitchen manager for Chili’s and this can is great. I have the simple human auto open doesn’t work but it’s good in my backyard kitchen.
