The two things I like best about this trash can is that it fits in just about everywhere but has the same capacity as other shapes of 13 gallon trash cans. The top just rests on these two handles and is very easy to take off. Moreover, there is NO HINGE to open this can. Every hinged trash can I've ever had has worn out quickly and the top ends up coming off because the plastic hinges wear down and break after so many opens/closes.
