I love this new trash can. It's sturdy, made of quality materials and keeps my toddler and dog out of it! I have issues with my shepherd puppy getting into everything, and this deters him long enough for me to get him out of it, and its too tall and the pedal is too stiff for my toddler to mess with it either. It is on the larger size, but I guess that means less trips to the dumpster!
