Common materials include plastic, stainless steel, and polyrattan (synthetic/faux wicker). Some models use metal or steel framing to support the woven or rattan-style exterior.
Care varies by material: wipe or spot-clean most surfaces; hand-wash plastic bins when needed; and clean dual-compartment units with soap and water. For best results, follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
Styles include simple open-top plastic with a light rim, satin-finish stainless steel, and faux/synthetic wicker (e.g., mint blue/white two-tone woven patterns).
Available hands-free features include step pedals with built-in dampers, soft-close lids to prevent slamming, and step-on latches for dual-bucket bins.
Some models offer dual-compartment designs with two removable buckets for sorting waste and recyclables, often with pedal operation, leak-resistant lids, and handles for easy removal.
Mint trash cans are described for bathrooms, kitchens, offices, patios, and laundry rooms. Smaller open-top or compact bins suit bathrooms and offices; larger lidded or wicker styles are recommended for kitchens and patios.
