Q: what bags fit this can? The usual 13 gallon bags that I use don't fit.
submitted by emma - 5 years ago
A: As one answer said, the 13 gallon tall kitchen bags fit perfect. You MUST use the two notches at the back, then it will fit over the front lip. This keeps it from getting stuck in the hinge of the lid. Orient the bag correctly, use the notches at the back, and a 13 gallon tall kitchen bag fits just perfect.
submitted bycory7329 - 4 years agoA: 13 gallon trash bag does not fit to this trash can. I have to use 30 gallon trash bag to fit this one. Even 20 gallon did not fit.
submitted byDad - 5 years agoA: Hello Emma - This Hefty trash can was designed to be used with any 13 gallon tall kitchen trash bag.
submitted byHMS Customer Service - 5 years agoBrand expertA: If someone is struggling to use a typical 13 gallon trash bag, there is a good chance that they are not putting it in correctly. There are two notches on the top rim of the trashcan close to hinge. Hitch the liner to one notch. Then fold it over the rim of the can. Lastly hitch the liner to the other notch. It will be held tight and fits perfectly. Also, since the trashcan has the narrow sides on the front and back you will want the seems of the trash bag facing the front and back of the can. The first time I put the liner in, I did not see the notches for a minute. If you tried to fit the bag over the entire rim of the can or turned it 90 degrees orienting the seams toward the sides, it would not fit. The can is well designed and the liner fits snuggly when you use the notches. Great design for a can at this price!

Q: Why doesn't the lid open each time I stop on the pedal? Sometimes I have to stomp on it 3 times to get it to open.
submitted by Jazzmonkie - 5 years ago
A: Hello Jazzmonkie - Sorry to hear you are having issues with your Hefty trash can. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. The link that holds the lid and the foot pedal may have come unengaged. Please check the long plastic link in the back of the can to ensure that it is attached in both places. I hope this helps. Have a great day! - Michelle

Q: Is there a way for the lid to stay open when it's opened, or will it always fall closed without the pedal being pushed?
submitted by Bananasmile - 5 years ago
A: Hello - Great question. The lid on this Hefty trash can opens when the pedal is pushed and closes upon removal of pressure on the pedal. The lid was not designed to stay open. Sorry for any inconvenience. Have a great day!

Attractive and affordable Trash Can
Slim and attractive. The foot petal works well yet the you can also open from the top. The bag fits securely in the slits provided to hold it secure. This garbage can is definitely a great purchase and priced well.

This trash can is very durable. Keeps the kids from playing with it. Also the smell from lingering around the house.

Wheres the lock?
What’s the point of a locking lid when my dog can easily get into it just by using her nose to push up on the edge of the trash can? The lock stays in place but the lid flies open. Absolutely pointless! Waste of money!

The Beyoncé of Trash Cans
Listen. I never thought I’d be emotionally attached to a garbage can, but here we are. This thing is sleek, slim, and the pedal works like it’s auditioning for Broadway. The locking lid? A blessing for keeping my dogs, kids, and intrusive raccoon energy out of my business. It holds way more than you’d expect, doesn’t slam shut, and makes me feel like I have my life together every time I step on that pedal. Honestly, this trash can has seen more of my drama than my therapist. If you’re on the fence, just do it. Life is too short for janky garbage cans.

lock does not hold up to regular use
I have purchased three of these, and every one of them has had issues with the locking mechanism that do not make them locking garbage cans. Bummer because the price point is so good.

bugs and rank stank
The lid doesn't close fully around the bag and allows odors and flies to proliferate around the house. Sturdy, looks good, great price, fits in the narrow space, locks so my toddler can't get it open,

Won't let you down!
I've been using this trash can for almost two years now, and it looks exactly the same as the day I purchased it. Very sturdy, holds a lot, and easy to clean. I also like that you can use your foot to open up the lid. Keeps everything much cleaner!

So far, so good
So far this garbage can is working out great. I have a small kitchen so the slim design is perfect. I was afraid my dogs might be able to open it but they haven’t even tried. It seems to hold odors and the step function/locking lid seem very sturdy. It’s a great value for the price.

Great trash can with pets
Bought this for the 2nd time. I like the slimmer profile, step to open lid, and the lid locks. My furbabies like to get in the trash, so having it lock makes a world of difference.

Doesnt open when you step on the bottom
It’s a good trash can but the part that you step on to open it just doesn’t work it, the part in the back that makes it open keeps coming undone
