Hefty is one of the top names in garbage containers; their garbage bags are first rate and the only ones we use. The 2.6-gal Hefty StepOn Trash Can will work fine in a bathroom or a laundry room, but it's too small, at 2.6 gallons, for any other use we have. My wife has decided to use it in the laundry room. The container is easily removed from its stand to empty, and if you want to use a small trash bag, as we do, that's simple. The unit is well made, sturdy, and works well.
