Need a new one that won't break after a few months!
Good size that will hold up to the abuse and use of a family.

Any recommendations?

Simple Human. Mine is from 2007 and still going strong. The initial investment is steep but well worth it.

We've had this one for 4 years, has worked great. Just recently the lid started popping off, so I drilled some holes and added some zipties. Fixed it. If it didn't, we'd have just bought a new one.

Out of curiosity, how are these breaking for you OP? My trash can is a plastic, well, trash can. It holds a bag. No moving parts. How are these getting broken? I think mine is 20 years old or maybe 25.

For real. Is it a trash compactor?

Let's see the old, breakable one

The pedals are what's breaking on ours. For years and years we just had to lift the lid. Finally got a new one and it's lasted maybe 2 years. Pedal broken again.

I'm a Simple Human fan. Love their no touch soap dispenser. We have an SH trash can but it's been relegated to recycling as our current home has a trash compactor. Don't sleep on a trash compactor.

Pedal this time. Lid in the past

We've had our simple human for probably 10+ yrs and no issues. Other than the cleaning ladies still can't figure out how to tighten the bag and run it through that hole.

I've had the Rubbermaid with the auto-opening lid for about 18 months. No issues, but it's just me and a dog. He does open the lid with his tail from time to time when the tail triggers the sensor (big dog).

We have this one and like it. Didn't realize how much my wife paid for it until I just searched the Amazon transactions. Ouch.

There is a reason there is a "don't ask, don't tell" policy on how much things cost.

Just put something like this in and never buy another trash can.

I've had the same $40 kitchen trash can since 2011. Pedal lift lid.

What kind of trash can are you buying that breaks after a few months!

Holy crap! Why is it so hard for people to figure out? Our cleaning lady could never figure it out either. We've had ours since 2010, and still going strong. The trash can, not the cleaning lady
