This 12 gallon slim kitchen trash can is such a great size for my family of 5. It holds a good amount of trash before I have to change out the bag. It also comes with a pack of 15 trash bags to get you started. Every trash can that I have used in the past has opened on the wider end. This one opens on the shorter end which makes it able to be placed in more areas. I really love that the lid doesn't slam shut! Great trash can!
