Choosing Waste Receptacles (Buying Tips)

Lid: Choose a waste receptacle with a lid to keep odors in and prevent animals like stray cats from rummaging through it and scattering your garbage on the ground.

Stability: For stability, choose a waste receptacle with rubber bottoms that prevent them from sliding and tipping over easily. Make sure the legs are evenly spaced out and of the same length.
