The lid swings up or pushes down, which seemed fine at the store but....
There is no way to prop it up or no little pedal to step on to lift it, so if you have to scrape out a pan or a plate you have to take the whole damn thing off. If you have crusty hands from handling raw chicken or something you don't want to be lifting the lid and spreading the salmonella around. Then when you pre-plan and take it off early your little tyke decides to play with the new "toy" on the ground, eww gross.
If the garbage is getting kind of full it will get stuck on it and it won't swing back into place. I know this might be time to switch out the bags, but there is so much room left in the bags I feel I am wasting perfectly good garbage bag space. Also if the can is too close to the wall and you push it down the back part of the swing top hits the wall and sticks it open too.
Never did I think that there would be this much hatred for a trash receptacle, but there is. I think this can will be retired to the basement, and a new one will be used in the high use kitchen area.
That is annoying. When I read the title of this post I thought you may be talking about the City-issued garbage vessels that don't have holes and therefore no drainage and therefore always are smelly and disgusting. I hate those. OH wait, this is YOUR blog. lol
ReplyDeleteYeah I never understand why they don't put drain holes in those things. I have put my own drain holes in the past but not on these city issued ones.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Whoever picked that can sucks.
