The AuldHome Design Enamel Trash Can brings a rustic farmhouse aesthetic to the home, utilizing carbon steel with a dip-coated enamel finish. Unlike plastic alternatives, this metal construction offers superior fire resistance, making it a safer choice for areas where hot materials might be discarded. The bin has a 3-gallon capacity, which is well-suited for light paper waste in a laundry room, bedroom, or home office.
As this is a "static bin" without a pedal or spring mechanism, it lacks complex moving parts that might wear out. However, the metal-on-metal lid interface means there is no soft-close feature. To maintain the finish, it is best used as a dry-waste receptacle. If it is used for wet waste, using a plastic liner is recommended to protect the interior from moisture and help prevent oxidation over time.
The steel body provides high rigidity and a weighted feel that prevents the bin from tipping over easily. While the enamel is durable, care should be taken during cleaning to avoid abrasive tools that could scratch the surface. If the unit is washed, manual drying ensures the seams remain in good condition.
For a more modern, plastic option that is specifically designed for high-moisture bathroom environments, the Netdot Slim Bin may be a better fit.
