How does the Retro Hanging Trash Can mount to the wall?

It hangs on two screws fixed to the wall (hardware is included). Once the brackets are level and anchored, the bin drops in and out of the rail for easy cleaning — no clamps, no adhesives, and no permanent modification to the bin.

Will it fit on a cabinet door or under the sink?

Yes. With a 16 cm (6.3 in) depth and 26 cm (10.2 in) width, it slides neatly beside base cabinets, under most sinks, or along a narrow bathroom wall. Many customers mount it on the inside of a cabinet door for a hidden trash station.

Is 12 liters enough for a kitchen bin?

12 L is sized for everyday kitchen prep waste and is a comfortable fit for two-person households. For larger families or full-meal cleanup, plan to empty every 1–2 days. The slim profile keeps it out of the walkway.

What size trash bag does the inner pail use?

Standard small kitchen bags (around 20–30 L nominal, but folded down to fit) work well. For the cleanest fit, look for bags labeled 8–15 L, or use a 20 L bag tucked down to the pail's rim.

How does the sliding lid work, and can it jam?

The lid slides on a top track with a smooth press-and-release motion. Food debris wiped off the track weekly is enough to prevent buildup. The lid is removable for deeper cleaning if a jam ever occurs.

Does the inner pail leak if a wet bag tears?

The double-pail construction means the inner liner catches waste while the outer shell catches any leaks. If a bag tears, the outer shell contains the spill — wipe it with a damp cloth and you're back in business.

How do I clean and deodorize the trash can?

Lift the inner pail out and rinse with warm water and a mild dish soap. Once a week, wipe the outer shell and lid track with a damp cloth. For odors, sprinkle baking soda in the bottom of the inner pail before fitting a new bag.

Will the retro finish yellow or scratch over time?

The thickened plastic shell uses a muted vintage tone that holds its color under normal indoor lighting. Avoid direct sun for prolonged periods and skip abrasive scrubbers — a soft cloth is enough to keep the finish looking new.
