Hefty is known for its quality products and the Hefty 12.25-gallon step-on Wastebasket is one of those products. The wastebasket's size and brown color are just perfect for my kitchen needs.  The lid was easy to snap on and the fact that it has a step-on for opening the lid makes it especially sanitary as you don't have to use your hands.  The lid is a soft close which is another added feature of this wastebasket.  It is lightweight but very durable, so it's just right for the handling of my garbage needs in my kitchen.
