Promising review: "Favorite trashcan ever owned! Whole family loves! We have a six-person family so it's nice to have the extra space! We use both sides for trash! It would be nice to have same exact trashcan but just with one large receptacle instead of split in two! My kids love the quiet close! We love that our dog can not get in as easy and spread trash around!" —Lizzy

Price: $74
