I had several concerns when I started looking for a garbage can for our half bathroom. It needed to be small and it definitely needed to have a lid. Our baby dog, Watson, thinks any "box" needs to be investigated. An open garbage can is an open invitation for him to inspect.
A Kleenex is one of Watson's favorite finds. He also thinks toilet paper rolls are fun toys. I don't really mind him having either as long as they are clean, but a used Kleenex should be off limits to our baby dog. I also want him protected from Q-tips or the plastic wrappers on bottles, like mouthwash.
Unfortunately, like most people, we also have flies that come in when an exterior door is opened. They are always drawn to smells or damp paper towels. Having a lidded trash can traps trash odors and dampness inside the can so it doesn't draw flies.
Therefore, a lid is essential.
Automatic Touchless Garbage Can
KOEYLE 2 Pack 2.2 Gallon Automatic Touchless Garbage Can, Small Motion Sensor Smart Trash Can, Slim Waterproof Trash Bin for Bedroom, Bathroom, Office, Living Room, WhiteAs I previously noted, this is a small trash can, therefore it fits perfectly between the wall and the toilet.
The touchless lid has a motion sensor and opens automatically so germs are not transferred on or off your hands. Since you don't need to touch the lid to open or close it, the lid itself stays cleaner. My husband frequently comes into the house with dirty hands from working on the cars or in the backyard. He can toss paper towels directly in the trash can without touching it and then wash his hands.
I like the ability to toss Q-tips, cleaning wipes, tissues, cotton balls, product wrappers, mouthwash cups, etc. in the trashcan without having to have a free hand to open the lid. As with all trash can lids, it prevents odor from spreading outside of the can.
