Q: How do you get a trash bag in this to stay on? I have not been able to get a standard kitchen trashbag in this.
submitted by kejesm - 3 years ago
A: THE BASE? NONE OF THIS ADVICE MAKES ANY SENSE. NOTCHES ON THE BACKSIDE? BETTER DIRECTIONS PLEASE.
submitted byMai - 2 years ago
A: the correct answer is hold it awkwardly and have it fall twenty times. get mad. try to only do one side. fail a few times.start punching the side of the lid until it clicks. repeat on the other side.
submitted byMeowmeow1975 - 3 years ago
A: Hello kejesm, located on the base of the wastebasket, there are 2 notches on the backside. With the lid on top of the base, hook the lid onto the notches and press firmly until you hear an audible click. When inserting the trash bag, wrap it around the front and sides of the wastebasket. Doing so will create enough tension to keep the trash bag secured on the back side and will stay in place during use.

The trash can has a slim design that fits well in tight spaces, making it ideal for kitchens and dorm rooms. However, many guests have reported difficulties with the lid attachment and compatibility with standard trash bags. While it serves its purpose for waste disposal, the overall quality and functionality have raised concerns among users. Guests appreciate its size and ease of cleaning, but the design flaws may deter potential buyers.

This was the most horrible service I have ever received. First shipping was late and there was no communication about this. Secondly, it came without a top.

Cheap quality, trash bags dont fit, and unreliable mechanism.
I write this knowing it was only $11.99 but let’s just say I got what I paid for. The lid was difficult to put on. I was worried I was going to break it. I bought 13 gallon trash bags and they didn’t fit this 11 gallon can! ANNOYING. The bag sits over the mechanism that is attached to the pedal. Ummm… Why!! The can is very cheaply made and the plastic feels as though it will break at any moment. It’s slim but not fit btwn the toilet and sink cabinet slim. And then the pedal wouldn’t open the lid bc the lid would stay on. By THEN whole garbage can just infuriated me bc we live in the age of 3D printing and this can could have been awesome but isn’t.

Read the 1, 2, 3 star reviews!
1. Cannot attach lid 2. Mechanism is useless. It raises the back of the lid. You will never be able to step on the pedal and have the front spring open. 3. If you put a bag in, you will cover the back mechanism. 4. Returning tomorrow.

Wrong trash can too given
Please don’t buy a trash can from target unless you check the top matches. I ordered this exact trash can on Saturday, pick it up Sunday and got home and the trash top is Q not C so I went back for the second time to target and they told me at first they would refund it and I told them is okay as long as I get the top is all I ask. Then I went to the isle to check if they had the C top for my trash can and they didn’t so I went back and told the gentlemen that was helping me with the return they didn’t have it and they’re answer was for me to go back for the 3rd time to get the trash can and return it so I can get another one. I see his logic, but that meant I had to go back for the 3rd time to target again so no I told them no thanks and left the top they gave me and walk out. Please make sure you get what you ordered before you leave because then it becomes a hustle.

The Brightroom 11 gal Slim Step Trash Can lid is difficult to snap on. In addition 13 gallon trash bags are a snug fit and difficult to get all the way around, tho they do fit when stretched. Overall, the trash can serves its purpose, tho I wouldn't purchase again.

Good Trash Can, but lid is hard to install
It's a nice enough trash can, it's the second one I've bought. The only real downside I can tell so far is that the lid is so difficult to install. You wouldn't think it would be because it's such a simple design, but I think the problem is there is nothing to hold the trash can in place and nothing for your fingers to grip onto while you snap the lid in place. I forgot how I did it the first time so this time around after trying for a few minutes, I stood/sat straddled on the upright, open trash can so my weight would hold it down and in place, and I held the furthest end of the lid where the snap hooks (no idea what they are actually called) are, but from the outside and I pushed the snap hooks down onto the little bars and a bit towards me. It worked.

See others post about how to put on lid.
Please read reviews on how to get lid on. I was trying in the store forever. I didn't want to bring it home and break it. One of the nice male workers asked to help me. He tried for a long time. Then I thought to loo online to see what it was supposed to look like. I saw the post describing how to do it. Turned upside down in less than a minute he fixed it. Thank you to everyone for the instructions. I needed this for a cheap plunger storage in my bathroom.

Lid!!!!
This darn lid was giving me such a hard time. Shoutout to the person that said lay the lid on the ground, hinges up, then align the trash can and snap into place
