I purchased this to mount on the end of a long counter/island to sweep food scraps into. I compost, and this is the perfect size to collect scraps.The lid on this has a really nice feature, where it can either open normally, or backwards. The backwards opening works great when mounted on the end of the counter, as I can leave it open and sweep scraps directly off the counter into the container. When closed, there are no odors from the container either.The inner "can" lifts out separately, so no need to remove the entire can from the mount. After dumping in the compost bin and rinsing out, it's back into the container.If you do need to remove the entire can for cleaning, it's as easy as lifting off the mounting bracket. Installation took less than 5 minutes and was super easy and simple.Verdict, this was great value for the money, seems reasonably well constructed, and works great.
