When the city refuse service reduced its acceptable recycling categories, requiring more items to go into regular garbage, our 6 liter white can would no longer work for regular garbage. This 10 liter is just right. It sits next to a cylindrical white can for recycling (now, less material going in). Had to locate this 10 liter by working backward from bag size (we have same model in stainless steel finish elsewhere in house) for website had not revealed it in our initial search.
