Manage Waste With the Right Trash Can From Lowe’s
Shopping for trash cans, or garbage cans, seems like a simple task, but there are a few factors that go into deciding which one is best suited for your waste-disposal needs.
Types of Trash Cans
First, you’ll need to decide what type of trash can you need. An important question to ask yourself is: Where will I be using this trash can? If you’re looking to add or replace one in your kitchen, shop for options designed for indoor use. Need extra outdoor garbage cans? We have outdoor trash cans that meet the demands of exterior use.
It’s also important to consider how you’ll use your trash can. Your selection will need to be able to accommodate what you’re throwing away, whether it’s standard waste, food waste or recyclable materials.
Trash Can Material
You’ll typically find indoor trash cans made from metal and plastic, which are more affordable options. Plastic is also lightweight, so it’s easy to move. Metal cans, such as those made of stainless steel, bring a sleek, sophisticated look to the space and offer durability for heavy-duty use.
Trash Can Style
Choosing the shape of your trash can is about more than just personal preference — it’s also about function. So, make sure you choose one that works with your space just as well as it works with your style. We offer semiround cans that sit flush against the wall, slim, rectangular cans that work in tight spaces and round cans that are ideal for more open areas, among other options.
Whether you need a trash can in your kitchen, bathroom or home office, size matters. Small trash cans, like 4-gallon options, work best for bathrooms. If you’re looking for something to use by your desk or in your bedroom, opt for a medium trash can. A common kitchen trash can size is 13 gallons, while other large trash cans range in size from 12 gallons to 32 gallons.
Color is another consideration. Some colors can mean certain things, depending on the receptacle’s purpose and location. Blue can be for recycling, green for landscaping and red for biohazards, for example. But you can also choose a color that complements your space.
Trash can lids can be a stylistic choice, but they also play a functional role. It’s easier to toss trash into an open-top can, but if you don’t want unpleasant odors wafting through your home, choose a lidded one to contain smells. Need to move your trash can from room to room? Choose a trash can with wheels for easy transport.
We have a selection of trash cans that will help you keep waste concealed and make taking it out easy. Whether you shop online or in store, we carry options from some of the most popular trash can brands, including Rubbermaid trash cans and simplehuman trash cans, to meet your trash management needs.
