Yes. It’s just a trash can. But folks, it’s the best one I’ve ever had! I’ve owned a tall, cylinder-shaped, stainless can before but there was never enough room in it.. we were always changing out the trash bag. And the lid would risefall very abruptly. Annoying. I didn’t even realize those things were annoying until we replaced our old can, with this one. THIS one, is different! The ‘shape’ of this can allows more room for garbage (13.2 gallons!). And I wish I could have done a short video but when you press on the foot pedal... the lid rises and falls..  slowly. YESSSS. We have a family of 5, and we all keep commenting on what a great find this is. Hilarious - it’s a TRASH CAN. But I’m telling you, my whole family has noticed the difference! And on the lid of this can it says “NineStars”... but I’m giving it a “10”.
