Umbra 16.5 gal Vento Plastic Lid Kitchen Trash Can, Grey/Nickel

I purchased this with the intention of using it as a trash receptacle but it just didn't seem like it would function well for my situation. Just as I was contemplating the return, it came to me: use it in the bedroom for clothing needing laundered! The design of the top makes it easy to toss articles of clothing into the unit and I rarely miss the shot, even from across the room, making me feel so sporty and smug.

Have had the Vento trash can for a couple of weeks now and love everything about it. Good, sleek looks with a top that hides the overhang of the garbage bag. A height that eliminates stooping. And - most importantly - an open top that allows for waste to be tossed or scraped in without having to add even one more action - no lifting a lid, opening a cupboard door or even stepping on a lid-raiser. The opening is wide enough to avoid creating a mess on the rim and yet still manages to keep the contents concealed. A simple, effective and terrific design!
