FAQs
What is the normal size of a trash can?
The size of a normal trash can varies depending on the type of trash can and the needs of the household. A 7 to 10-gallon-sized trash can be sufficient for a single or two-person household, while a family of three or four will likely need a 12 to 16-gallon range–depending on how often they take out the trash.
Do square or round trash cans hold more?
Generally, square trash cans have a larger capacity to hold more contents than round trash cans of the same volume. This is because square trash cans have a larger surface area and can therefore accommodate more trash.
How often should I clean my trash can?
You should clean your trash can at least once a week, or more often if necessary. This is especially important if you have pets or throw away food scraps. To clean your them, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. You may also want to use a disinfectant spray to kill any bacteria.
