THIS IS A VERY STURDY TRASH CAN. IT IS HIGH ENOUGH THAT ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO EMPTY IT EVERY FEW HOURS. IT IS VERY DURABLE-MADE OF VERY STRONG PLASTIC SO THAT IT IF GETS PUSHED OVER IT DOESN'T BREAK. YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUSH LOTS OF TRASH IN IT WITH OUT IT BREAKING THE SIDES. IT IS PRICED VERY REASONABLY FOR SUCH GOOD QUALITY.IT COMES IN DIFFERENT COLORS TOO SO YOU CAN BUY MANY OR JUST ONE AND MIX AND MATCH. IT USES 13 QT. TRASH BAGS AND YOU CAN GET THOSE AT STAPLES AS WELL. HURRY AND BUY A FEW OR MANY.
I am so glad I bought this waste basket. Upon leaving my car to go into my house a huge thunder storm erupted. Unlike a metal waste basket I was able to place this black vinyl beauty over my head without fear of drawing a lightning strike. I arrived at my doorstep with my head dry as a bone although I do have a scraped knee from not being able to see as I ran in from my driveway.
The tall and large-capacity recycling bins are fine for a large break room or large copy room but they don't work in individual offices or cubicles. The Brighton 7-gallon bin is perfect for individual work spaces. It is not efficient for employees to jump up and take recycleables to a bin out of their individual offices many times in a work day. We found many soda cans plastic bottles and large quantities of paper in the regular trash cans in offices because it takes too much time to get to the large far-away bins. This inexpensive but sturdy 7-gallon bin fits easily in a smaller office and even under desks. It's wide enough that cans and bottles fit at any angle and it's easy to dump the shredder contents into it as well. PROS: Great size sturdy blue color easy to dump shredder contents into USA-made CONS: Have not discovered any. We liked it so well that we bought one for home use and we found that many employees had done the same!
We have three in our home: the kitchen office/study & second floor. The reason we had to purchase a new container is because the container had cracked in a couple of places since we started using it for more than paper i.e. bottles cans etc.
