Great recycling bin, especially for dog owners!

I use this trash can for recycling. A paper bag fits in perfectly. The lid keeps nosy dogs out of the recycling. The lid also keeps flies from being an issue. I love this wastebasket.
I needed a smaller can with a lid. This can is great. The black color and slim design looks neat in appearance. The past reviews say that the lid isn't that good. I totally disagree. Apparently the older versions did not have a metal hinge. I have used the can now for about 4 months without any problems. One tip: If you are cooking a meal, leave the can open while working. This will allow less usage of the hinge/lid. I would definitely recommend this can. The only thing that would make it perfect is strong, black trash bags made for this size can.
This product looked good so I purchased it. I had it for a short period of time and the latch broke. I tried to contact Sterilite on line and their site went into error every time I tried to contact them and I could not get anything done. If this is the kind of service you get from this company then I don't want to do any more business with them. The product should last longer than it did. You don't need a picture to show a broken latch. It just broke off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to learn the latch failed on the Sterilite 7.5 G Touchtop Wastebasket. We have re-engineered the latch and can make one available to you as courtesy, which will alleviate the issue. Please reach out to us at marketing@sterilite.com
I will buy this one the next time I replace the kitchen can I have now. It will be a better fit for the space the old one is in. And that won't be long before I replace the old one!
