This is the perfect garbage/recycling can for my very small kitchen. I have no nooks and crannies to place separate garbage and recycling bins, so this is the perfect solution! It fits nicely at the end of my peninsula and is thin enough to not hog the walking area between the counter and the dining table and chairs. Especially nice is that it's "hands-free" by easily stepping on the foot pedal. This is a great find and exactly what I needed.
