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.
In Conclusion,
Trash cans are necessary home appliances in every household, but who says they have to be boring? With so many stylish and functional ones on the market today, there's no excuse to have a trash can that's anything less than fabulous.
