🎓 Reddit experts on trash & recycling containers
The comments and opinions expressed on this page are written exclusively by redditors. To provide you with the most relevant data, we sourced opinions from the most knowledgeable Reddit users based the total number of upvotes and downvotes received across comments on subreddits where trash & recycling containers are discussed. For your reference and for the sake of transparency, here are the specialists whose opinions mattered the most in our ranking.
Got married in 2015 and we was in the same boat as you... Both of us are from large ethnic families who wanted to give physical gifts (because they're well intentioned and wanted to pay it forward - a lot of them were newly arrived in the US without a lot of money, and sometimes not a lot of family and married pretty young - so gifts they got for their marriage were actually very much needed). Both my partner and I already had functioning apartments (separately), then when we moved in while we were engaged, realized we had about 2 of everything and had to narrow that down. Thankfully, we are pretty minimal people - him by nature, me by intention. But especially after having to sort through both of our belonging to weed out duplicates, we really felt like we did not need anything else.
We ended up taking a two pronged appraoch: 1) Upgrading things we had, and used, but that were not all that nice to begin with and 2) Items that would help us achieve the goals that we had laid out for our relationship as a married couple.
A few things we asked for that have seen a lot of use:
I guess my overall advice would be to make a list of goals you want to achieve for your life together, and then try to ask for items that either help you achieve those goals, or enhance those experiences.
A few examples:
Does anyone NEED this stuff? No, of course not. But when you're lucky enough to already have all your basic needs met in life, wedding registries provide are a nice opportunity to upgrade things that were aquired at an earlier time in your time in your life, not for their enduring quality, but rather their low cost/ ease of procurement. Good luck!
This is the one we got a few months ago.
Nine Stars Trash Can/Recycler, Infrared Touchless Automatic Motion Sensor Lid, Stainless Steel, 18.5-Gallon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031M9H30/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_v0fgub1JJCXKY
It's pricey but I love it. The stickers on the front easily peel off if they aren't to your taste. It's big enough to fit the large trash bags and the bags tuck under a removable ring so they don't sink to the bottom of the can. Also makes it super easy for recycling as it's separated from the regular waste. It does an awesome job keeping stinky smells inside. If you can get over the large footprint and price tag, I'd definitely recommend it. I'll never go back to my standard trash can that was full after throwing away one or two milk jugs.
Since you’re a beginner I suggest you focus more on just learning how to grill and stick with Kingsford blue to remove one of the variables.
Once you have developed some comfort and skill then it may be time to try some other fuel. My suggestion is to try whatever brands/types you have available in your area and find what works best for YOU.
The only downside to Kingsford blue bags is that it creates a lot of ash when compared to lump. Not really a big deal tho. I suggest you buy one of those small galvanized buckets with a lid to empty your ash into. They are fireproof. Every year you read about someoine that was sure the ash from their grill was extinguished so they dump it into their normal trash can and burn down their garage. Don’t be that person.

When it comes to consistency Kingsford wins hands down. When it comes to price Kingsford blue bags wins - especially if you load up on the upcoming sales.
Lump varies widely from brand to brand and even from bag to bag within a brand. Which lump is best is like arguing religion or politics - opinions and passions can run high.
In my Weber kettle and WSM I tend to use Kingsford Blue. I don’t really think the other more expensive Kingsford types are really worth the extra $$.
In my kamados and other grills I tend to use lump and I generally have a few brands on hand - Royal Oak, Kamado Joe, Rockwood.
Are these cloth diapers or disposable? What is the current capacity for reference?
Either way, I would go with a plastic step bin. Hard plastic is easy to periodically clean and disinfect, even if it isn't as pretty. Plus, you can usually attach a charcoal filter to the inside of the lid, especially with higher end models or separately if you buy an attachable sleeve that sticks to the inside of the lid. This can help mitigate any lingering smells. If you want something study, simplehuman makes plain ol' 13 gallon step cans, and it will last a lifetime because the parts are replaceable.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VWMS5E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_M6cEDbAG7K40C
Lower end, I recommend the sterilite and Rubbermaid cans in the same half-round shape. They are usually offered as a step can or a touch top (basically a step button you push at the lid), so you can determine what is best for him to use.
Rubbermaid Touch-Top Lid Trash Can for Home, Kitchen, and Bathroom Garbage, 13 Gallon, White
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KX15Z1A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_n9cEDbYY82KWN
If disposable, you can get any size you are comfortable lifting the contents of (9 - 13 gallon, but I wouldn't go higher than that because wet things get heavy and repetitive motions are dangerous with adult care) and just use the right size plastic bag.
If you are talking cloth, there are pul liners which perfectly fit a sterilite 6 gallon step can, maybe other sizes too (edit: that can be washed with the diapers). However, they aren't always leak proof so ymmv, especially the larger you go. Let me know if you want recommendations for them. Best of luck!
In my studio I got lucky with storage but I know that I would get this bag holder as well as collapsible kitchen essentials. A slim trash can helps. If your bathroom has no storage, something like this can help. Hang your spices on the cabinet. Use this in the shower if you need more space. XD I use command hooks near my front door to hold my keys and daily jacket. :)
First of all, I want to say I'm sorry you're dealing with this. This must be so frustrating and hard for you & your family. I do think there are times when a dog needs to be rehomed, and I wouldn't judge you for doing that if you & your family decide that's best for everyone. Biting people is unacceptable behavior, especially with little kids around.
That said, there are two things that come to mind as ideas for you. When our dogs started getting into the trash, we bought a locking trash can like this one for the kitchen, and kept the doors to other rooms with trash cans shut. Immediate improvement there.
Without seeing how you interact with your dog, it's hard to tell what's going on in terms of discipline, but I'm not sure "ignore her behavior & not scold" is a good solution. Have you brought in a dog trainer for an in-home consultation? Classes are one thing, but I wonder if having a trainer observe you guys might give you some more insight in what's going on.
Good luck and my sympathy to you guys =(
edit: also, looks like r/dogtraining exists and might be helpful to you too....

Well, congratulations on your new apartment! I would suggest being conscious of turning off lights. Electric bills can get pretty outrageous. Also, don't use your AC when it is under 90 degrees out, keep it at 78 when you're at home and 86 when you leave on hot days. Wash the dishes you after you use them! The can pile up quickly. At the very least rinse them off and stack them on the side of the sink to wash later. Don't let more than 10 accumulate. Keeping your house clean is simple. Put in little effort upfront rather than max effort later. Pick up that loose paper before 10 others follow suit. Put your clothes in the hamper, not on the bathroom floor. It's not hard or complicated. I promise.
You need the following
Trash can
Trash bags
Broom (I have this one and it holds up well.)
Mop #1
Mop #2
Bucket (can double as car was bucket.)
You'll also need towels, bathroom rugs, shower curtain, plates, etc that you will want to pick to match the colors of your home.
I hope you have fun! Invite friends to help you move and buy them pizza! Thanks for have this contest! cheeto fingers
Easy solution to trash digging is to simply get a locking trashcan or put the trashcan in a place the dog cannot access.
From the way the dog acts it sounds like he isn't getting nearly enough exercise and or mental stimulation. Just because you have a big yard doesn't mean you don't have to exercise your dog. Especially if you just let him out and expect him to "play with himself". I have a fairly nice sized fully fenced yard and my GSD still gets 3 walks a day plus interactive playtime with me about once a day.
If your dog isn't interested in tug, fetch or frisbee, then the next step would be to run your dog. If you aren't in the best physical shape then what you can do is buy a cheap bike and purchase a Walky, run him for even just 20-30 minutes hard and I guarantee you his unruly behavior will decrease. I will note though, since he's a large breed dog I would wait at least until he's 12-15 months old to start doing this, as you can damage his joints by exercising him too hard before his joints have fused. Also get a kong, you can keep him occupied for at least 45min-1hr by putting peanut butter in it, freezing it, and then giving it to him.
I'd also recommend crate training him so that if you don't want him around guests you can crate him and you know he's safe. You can also crate him when nobody is home to guarantee your property and your dog's safety. Another thing you can do is buy a tie out and put it in the middle of the yard so he can't smash and paw on the door.
I'd definitely second getting a trainer to help you with his behavior in general though, it sounds like you aren't communicating with him in a way that clicks with him (remember, every individual will respond differently to different training methods), a seasoned trainer with lots of experience will probably be able to teach how to
communicate with him in a way that let's you communicate what you want him to do.
Lastly, you need to be patient with him, the Akita is a breed known for being very stubborn and hard to train, so you have to remember to manage your expectations. Just be consistent with what the trainer tells you to do and you will see results.

Totally. I just purchased the same one for myself, the simplehuman Mini Round Step Trash Can. It ended up being smaller than I imagined but it looks great and doesn't take up a lot of space in my bathroom. I've had a larger trash can from simplehuman in my Kitchen and Bedroom for years and they are holding up perfectly. Not the cheapest trash cans you can buy but they are pleasing to look at.
bought an auto-open trash can for the kitchen. best. thing. evar.
exactly the one (bought ours from Sam's): http://www.amazon.com/iTouchless-Stainless-Steel-Hands-Free-13-Gallon-Automatic/dp/B000EJVYTS
I would pay $300 or more now that I know how wonderful it is. wave your hand in front, the top opens up for you. it's MARVELOUS.
A bathroom trashcan with a trash bag in it and a lid. Guys never seem to throw anything away in the bathroom, but girls have to throw away used tampons and pads. You don't want to see that, and it can be embarrassing for girls to leave that visible in your trash. Get a lidded trash can!
Soap, toilet paper, and clean hand towels or paper towels in the bathroom. Even if you don't wash your hands, make it look like you do and have the supplies so others can!
Artwork. No, posters taped or tacked to the wall don't count. Bonus points if you made it and it's good.
Books
A good smell. Get some mildly scented air freshener, candles, potpourri, scented oils, etc. Nothing too strong like incense though. Don't use them just to cover up bad smells though; then it just smells like a mix of the bad smell and the air freshener!
Bed made with clean sheets. Bonus points for headboard, bed frame, box springs.
A variety of beverages to offer guests, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Bonus points for offering a drink.
I have a Rubbermaid Commercial 4.75 gallon food tote (actually several that I bought lightly used on Amazon). It works well for large cooks, and since I have a pretty big family, I tend to do a lot of big cooks. I also have the smaller 12 qt container (a word of caution - get the clear one, not white). It also works well, and fits the Anova perfectly.

Its surprising some of the things you find out that you need after you move in.
AND A FISHY TO BE YOUR FRIEND!
These are just a few things. I just graduated college and I will never again underestimate the necessity of duct tape and a plunger :P
EDIT: Would you like a falafel with that?
I think the Anova is rated to 4.5 or 5 gallons, IIRC. The fact that the cooler is insulated is helpful, and you probably aren't filling it up to the 6.25 gallons it holds.
I bought this food safe polycarbonate box for $25, and it is perfect for everything I've done. It's easy to store, and I can use it to carry around other food items if I'm taking it somewhere else to use. I think I just like being able to keep it in the kitchen without people asking me why I have a cooler sitting in the corner. I also don't have to cut holes in it to fit the Anova. If I need a lid for longer cooks to prevent water loss, I just cover it with foil.
I just use a regular trash can with a lid. I chose the 11-gallon (well, 10.6) because 13-gallon kitchen trash bags still fit in it just fine, but if a 13-gallon one is full of wet diapers, I have trouble carrying it, but I definitely wanted something larger than a 7-gallon bathroom trash can. Honestly, I don't notice much difference between the trash can and the 13-gallon one in our kitchen.
I also keep my bedroom window open, weather permitting, and spray Febreeze near the trash can if I notice an odor, even if I'm only noticing the odor when I open the trash can to dispose of a freshly removed diaper. In the warmer months, when odors seem to be exacerbated, I also put the wet diapers in super small trash bags and tie them closed. The bags aren't really large enough for a diaper I've been wearing 8 hours, but with the diaper rolled up, and the more open end facing inside the bag, they do well enough. I almost never notice an odor and I definitely was when I was just keeping them in a trash bag that was twisted close.
That said, I'm urinary incontinent and only using diapers for urinating in them. If you're using your diaper for more than that, what I'm doing may not be enough for you.
I do very much like mine: https://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-Slim-Plastic-Step-Trash/dp/B004L9L3KW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518570288&sr=8-4&keywords=simplehuman+Slim+Plastic+Step+Trash+Can%2C+Grey+Plastic
It comes in multiple colors and looks pretty sharp. A really dedicated dog could chew through the plastic, but the mechanism itself is pretty strong.
I like a transparent acrylic bath. It lets you see at a glance what's going on (no floating, leaks, or bunching up). As long as everything's totally clean, it's attractive on the counter (my earlier stockpot setup looked more like a science experiment or homebrew).
I use the 5 gallon Rubbermaid polycarbonate, with the matching lid, and a cutout for the circulator. This is an ideal size, as it's close to the max capacity for the Anova.
I have a Simple Human with a locking lid and a foot pedal that would make a good CD bin. The Planet Wise liner we use would def fit it. We use it for our actual trash, I love it. We just have a generic white trash bin for our diapers, it works fine.
This is the one we have
I use a galvanized steel can and the bag I get will fit inside. I like it because steel is pretty secure against pests or inquisitive pets :)
And I don't mind the industrial look of it.

You bet your bottom dollar those are black out curtains!! See the link above for the trashcan on Amazon. Fantastic condition! I would be happy to do the set of both for $35 if that’s acceptable to you (of course that includes the satin nickel curtain rods!)
I also have a SimpleHuman trash can. This one, specifically.
Though I've only really had it a month, I can assure you I did a great deal of research on trash cans before buying it, as the hinge of my last step can would snag the bag, tear it, and cause depression.
SimpleHuman is a great brand and they have awesome warranties.
If it helps, these are the ones I have. They work with the Glad kitchen bags well. Maybe you can steer her towards one of these which may be more useful?
Kitchen: This is the one we've had for 9 years. It's awesome because the liner drops in, and has this little hole in the back to tuck extra bag in. That was the feature my husband used to talk me into buying one. Because I thought it was stupid expensive, and would be annoying to buy special bags.
Laundry room: While you can see the liner, it pulls very tight so it doesn't look messy.
Ash Bucket to hold pellets collected from auger-line during feed cycle - Better safe than sorry. Any pellet close to the blower in there should be stored in steel for peace of mind at least overnight.

It's the same price at Bed Bath and Beyond, and you can use a coupon on it there. I know, it's a ridiculous price for a trashcan, but I love it. We also get compliments on it!
I feel like all biology teachers have a closet full of those microorganism plushies, haha! I made a similar comment in another thread, which I'll repost here:
Honestly, I think a step-on opening trash can would be your best solution. I wrestled with inside cabinet can solutions for years and was never happy.
I just recently got one of these cans and damn if it isn't the best trash can I've owned. It's a bit expensive, but I'm going to guess from your kitchen photos that it won't break the bank.
I tried a couple different "hands free" cans wher eyou wave your hand over a sensor to open...that was a mistake.
Someone suggested that I share a photo of my rig.
I have a Sansaire. While it performs well, the hourglass shape is inconvenient.
I purchase a polycarbonate container and lid from Amazon on the advice of another member of this subreddit. The rough home, for the circulator, was made slowly using a soldering iron.
So far, I've cooked several top round steaks with this rig. Most recently, I made a brisket in the style of a beef bourguignon to much success.
My only complaint is the gap in the lid around the immersion circulator. I cover it with plastic wrap to maintain relative water seal.
These parts were far far cheaper than the Sansaire-specific solutions offered by Amazon—even with a $20 soldering iron!

I just did a few cooks with my Anova one with this container. It sits firmly in the middle of the container.
Did steaks and then some eggs @ 176F with no issues.
I heats the water up to temp really fast. Covered with plastic wrap when cooking. Ordered this rack to fit :

The Anova is a powerful circulator in this smaller container. Need to put eggs in a container then drop in Camwear. I have a insulated cooler for longer cooks.
Good for daily use with shorter cooks with 4 pouches or so.
You won't go wrong having two size containers.
This Rubbermaid container did not work without cutting lip on container to fit Anova:

I have a much larger, better quality version of this and though it was expensive, it's awesome. NO SMELLS, no touching, it's great.
my problem when i was trying to find one of these is that the cans are always really small. I found this one, 21 gallons.
I did 1 "permanent" heavy duty bag that is taped into the can, and then I change the other bag (this keeps the can itself clean in case of breakage)

42% 1-star reviews lol. Worth reading just for the laughs https://www.amazon.com/Joseph-30030-Intelligent-Compactor-Stainless/dp/B071D6F3XF/
Best thing to do in these situations if she has access to items like the trash when you are not around is prevention - get a high quality, sturdy, LOCKING trash can (Example) or remove it from her access (put it in the garage, in a different room with a closed door, use gates, or put it in a cabinet). You can also make a habit of emptying the trash when you leave every day (if it is a problem of them getting into it when you leave for work - but it sounds like this was more of a 'we are home and she snuck off and got into the garbage' scenario).
Throwing away harmful trash directly in the curbside bin is a good idea and keep working on 'leave it' and redirection. Unfortunately, she now knows she CAN get into the trash if no one is looking and there are awesome things in there, so it may be more prudent just to remove access all together.
Use a combination of 'leave it' and preventing the behavior from being reinforcing (the trash is always empty or locked so she can never get any 'treats'/rewards from it) will should eventually cause the behavior to extinguish, but it only takes one time for her to figure out how to open the trash for it to be wildly reinforcing again.
TL;DR: You are right, remove the trashcan.
Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, this year's been hell, I wish you well, please don't break a leg, hey!

I put in a cheap one and one that's a bit more money, nothing crazy expensive though obviously, because I don't know how much you're trying to spend lol

You can build one yourself for MUCH cheaper, but this is the basic idea. Basically a screen in a frame and a collection chamber. Take the trim and jostle it around over the screen so all the trich heads fall off and go through the screen, while the plant matter stays in the top part.
Personally I think bubble hash or BHO is a better idea, or even QWISO, but if you want actual keif as opposed to hash, dry sifting is the way to go.
Or buy a trash can that hold both. I bought one off amazon to simply reduce space but it has also greatly increased the amount I recycle. Like [this one] (http://smile.amazon.com/Recycler-Touchless-Automatic-Stainless-18-5-Gallon/dp/B0031M9H30/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416432539&sr=8-2&keywords=recycle+and+trash+can+combo)
12 quart seems a little small to me. I got this 5 gallon tote and I think it's great. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VARWQ4
while you're at it I'd also suggest getting some kind of rack to keep the food off the bottom so you keep heat circulation on point. I got a couple that fit in the bottom of this one.
I have a similar one, same brand, as seen here and it's held up well to a very determined dog.
Two minor downsides: since the top of the liner bags have to pull down over the outside of the bin, they are practically begging (ha) to be pulled on and torn up. The lid fits snugly enough that the trash stays inside, but the liners get partially tugged out and mysterious shreds of white plastic appear all over the house.
The other downside is that since the bin I have is plastic vs stainless steel, that same determined dog may chew on the corners in a fruitless attempt to destroy the can in its entirety. The plastic is thick enough that I'm not worried about it being shredded or even warped, but it can be a little unsightly to have tooth marks all over the lid.
Mine has lasted 5 years, is still going strong, and I wish I got it 10 years ago. The trash can, that is. The dog is pushing 15 and still makes an effort to go dumpster diving on a regular basis.
We use a SimpleHuman trashcan that seems to work for us. It sits between our kitchen counter and our fridge, but I don't think it would be toppled. I know our littler dog won't get into it no matter how good it smells.
We have a Beagle and Sheltie. The Beagle is more interested in the trash than his brother Sheltie.
This (non affiliate link) is the general style that we have. I'm not sure that ours was this expensive when we got it a few years ago. It may not be the exact size. We use 13 gallon bags in it. Very convenient to just step on the pedal and the lid opens up. There's a plastic liner that you pull out and put the bag in.
I use a Umbra Grand Infused Humidor, made specifically for infused and flavored cigars.
Just kidding ; ) Keep them well away from your non infused IMO.
To expand on this point, a step trashcan in your bathroom. Discretely dispose of feminine supplies so they're not obvious. Also essential if you ever have small children or dogs visit. I'm rather fond of this one
Legit the best part of the picture.
Found them on Amazon
This. I bought it because it uses plastic grocery bags as trash bags, with hooks to grab the handles. Great idea for a trash can.
Great reviews too: Amazon
Dogs are natural scavengers, and if you have an open-trash can sitting out, he is going to find opportunities to get into it. Smacking him for undesired behavior is not an effective method of training and will ultimately do more harm than good.
I keep my bathroom doors closed to keep the dogs out of the trash in there, and in the kitchen I use one of these. It is not expensive and works well.
Same except we registered for this one that's half the price. My friend got one at her shower last year and recommended it.
Yes I'm surprised they even called it a dining room!
Unfortunately the only other place I can put the trashcan would be in the water-heater room (the white door on the left). I could get a thinner trashcan like this and put in in the corner by the entryway, that way it will take less space.
I received one as a gift 3.5 years ago(a friend saw me lusting after this one at BB&B) I never would have spent that much on a trash can before, but if I ever need to replace it I won't hesitate to by this brand at this price again!
Also I put the trash bag on the recycle side and use it for trash as I produce more recycling than trash and I take the trash out more often this was so there is less smell.
> trash can with a lid
Make sure it's a LINED trash can. I like this 1.2 gallon simplehuman can.
Yeah, raccoons are all nice and dandy when you live in town and it's cute when they eat cat food people leave out, but in areas where the scope of life doesn't require steel doors and clean-desk policies for porches, they're definitely a nuisance. I learned quickly to store all feed (even excess feed) in steel garbage cans with like this. It's a bit more expensive up front but they really do last forever. Heavy duty bungees covering the lid have seemed to provide enough protection over the years.
Beyond feed, I attached 1" poultry fencing on the bottom 24" of the chain link around my chicken run and sank it 6" into the ground below the fence line. It's worked pretty well since I installed it; no losses to predation.
Raccoons have they're place, but it's definitely not on a farm/ranch. It's an unfortunate fact of life, but stock animals (chickens, goats, cattle, sheep, etc.) are effectively prey to nature's predators and we are their keepers. I've never enjoyed culling a predator, but I've never regretted it either. I trap and relocate when I can but sometimes it's not possible. I feed my family and several others. Sometimes that requires unpleasant actions; t's a fact of life.
We bought this locking bin based on the reviews and customer photos of it being totally knocked over but still locked. We have a cheaper locking bin for our recycling and I can tell the locking mechanism is much tighter and more secure on this one (it takes 2 hands to open it).
I found a trash can in the kitchen with a lid can help reduce odors a lot. I used one like this. Large enough that you don't have to take the trash out all the time. Small enough that the trash doesn't start stinking. And a lid to keep the odors down.
Something like this would be perfect, but this one is too expensive for me: http://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-Semi-Round-Trash-Black-Plastic/dp/B003VWMS5E

We have two dogs that used to rip into the garbage all the time. This one has teeth marks on the lid and they haven't been able to get it open in going on two years.
What do you mean the "tiny ass recycling bin"?
We have two bins in our house, one we collect cans with and one we use for large items and combine when we do curbside. You can buy whatever size you want..We have this one and this one, recycle everything we can and never have problems.
Glass wise, Atlas Glass charges something like sub $10 a month last I checked, and if you don't want to pay that, ripple glass is all over. I make a trip once a month and its never an issue.
I'll concede there are other cities that do it much better, but I feel Kansas city is far from sucking at it.

We got one with a locking lid. It's a Simple Human trash can that my mom got us because we'd rather complain than spend $50 on a trash can and she'd rather spend the money than listen to us complain.
My cat is the same way, except with plastic. Also had intussusception and had expensive surgery. This is how I deal with it.
(1) Any plastic bags are discarded outside in the garbage immediately. If I need to keep some, they are stored in a high, out of the way place.
(2) I got a kitchen trash can with a lockable lid.
(3) My litter box is not near a bathroom, so I use the litter genie for waste disposal.
(4) Anything my cat might chew on is stored in a closet. The closet is always kept shut.
I know it's a pain in the butt, but I'm not going through another USD2,000 surgery again. I keep him on catnip and I've bought him interactive toys that don't contain plastic he might eat.
Edit cuz spelling.
I have this one. It's not stainless steel, but it's durable as all hell and it keeps my fuzzy trash gremlins from eating garbage. I've gone through a lot of cheaper trash cans, but I anticipate having this one for many years.
