This is the perfect size for two people, maybe a small family if you like to take the trash out every nght like we do. Blue for recycling, yellow for trash, and green for cash back bottes; it works for us. We use the dollar store kitchen trash bags n them, and that works out well. I would have given it 5 stars, except it can be a little tricky geting the trash bags in neatly; still perfecting my technique. Overall, I love it and would not hesitate to purchase it again. Very study and arrived well packed and dent free.
