I use this to deposit my dog's poop and it really makes a difference. No smell so flies don't stay around. Sturdy and foot pedal makes it easy to open. Keeps rain out also.

works well & keeps dirty shop rags all together

Safety can arrived very quickly. Seems to be sturdy, the top seam is somewhat ragged probably caused by construction. Product will be used for cloths or rags used with professional artists oil paints and thinners that will be deposited in a container then placed in the safety can. Locally, public works offers events to recycle hazardous material 2x a year so the waste in the safety can will be allocated to professional staff at these events. Safety can also be used by artists who use encaustic or cold wax products . I would recommend lining the can or at least enclosing hazardous material before placing in the can then recycling within your local community.

I had been using ice-melt during the winter and using the white plastic bucket that the salt came in as the storage canister duing use. The problem with that approach is that the bucket lid is difficult to pry off while wearing gloves and it's 10 degrees outside. I purchased this Eagle waste can after seeing them being used for ice-melt where I work. They use a lot more salt there than I use at home, but I appreciated the ease of the foot-operated opener to access the salt. The bucket arrived in great condition and the supplied warning sticker for "oily rags" was easy to remove for my use. I discovered that the 5 gallon bucket my ice-melt comes in can fit (with the snap-on lid removed) entirely inside this 10 gallon waste can, with the snap on lid set to the side inside the waste can for later use. This worked out even better than atticipated. At the end of the season, I then removed ice-melt bucket from the waste can and snapped the lid back on to keep moisture from the air from being absorbed by the salt.

We purchased this for a dog poop can in the yard. We have gone through a few in the last few years ~ it takes a sturdy can to hold up to the Florida heat and bugs! We have an insert with a bag inside the can and it works great for us! So far we are very happy with it!
