I agree with other reviewers that I don’t know why this trash can costs so much. It’s basic plastic. But this was the only one I could find with a swing lid that would fit inside our pull out trash drawer. Read more

Quality construction that provides a good amount of recycling capacity. I ordered it to fit a defined space in the office and the measurements match up to what is listed. I like that the sides are slightly thicker than other brands - you could probably stand on this in a pinch, so it is highly functional for our purposes where we need to regularly take the contents out to the bigger bin outside. The lid however is flimsy in comparison to the bin itself. The lid is thinner material that bends and doesn't quite line up when sitting in place. I expect this bin to last years with heavy use, but the lid is not easy to use. Read more

I bought this to keep in my home office for all recycling. It perfectly suits my needs and is big enough to empty every other week. I bought 3 items from Sturdy Essentails and I am happy with all of them. Read more

Sturdy Essentials City Box 10 Gallon Organic Waste Bin Container with Lid for Residential, Offices, and Commercial Recycling - NYC Compliant - Green (Organics, 10 Gallon) It is a trashcan with a lid. There is nothing special about this trashcan at all. I like the color. Average weight. Definitely not worth even the sale price of 69.99. Read more

I use this everyday in my kitchen for various drink cans we use on the regular here. As a family of 4 it was becoming cumbersome to keep a random bag hanging on a cabinet for cans and bottles, so I found this. It holds a good amount of returnable at a time, about 4 days to a week’s worth here without getting full. When it is full you know it, and the lid stops you packing it too full at just the perfect height to use 13 gallon trashbags in it and still be able to tie them after. I have no complaints for this product. As for the appearance, there no missing this is where to put your returnable which is great when it comes to guests and kids putting them in the proper place. Now that it’s 10 cents a can where I am that’s all I can ask for. Read more

This is great for our kitchen so that we can recycle our water bottles. We already had two other recycle bins, but we needed a third because we seem to go through bottles quickly. We use the basic 13 gallon trash bags for this so it's easy to take to the recycle center. I also like that it has a lid so my children can't overfill it. I do think the price is too high compared to other smaller recycle bins available in stores. Read more
