Update Oct 5, 2021.. latch stopped working. Won't stay closed. Not as sturdy as I'd hoped.This is exactly what I was looking for! A small, covered bin to put counter trash in. I was using Ziploc bags for egg shells veg scraps, etc but it looked so ugly. This can sits easily on my kitchen counter and holds the scraps without odor. If I put them loose in the main trash bin it stinks and collects fruit flies. This way they are hidden, the bin is easily washed and the small vegetable bag can be tied off to eliminate odors and pests. I'm very pleased with the value and construction.
