Hello, I’m looking for recommendations for a trash can that my dog won’t be able to get into. I have a 120 lb black lab who is terrible about tearing up trash and trash cans. He just broke the lid off my aluminum locking trash can. I can’t even put them up on a shelf because he’s so big he just knocks them down. I need something heavy-duty, at least 20 gallons.
You might want to look into a stainless steel trash can with a foot pedal. They’re generally more durable and harder for dogs to open.
Consider getting a trash can with a locking lid specifically designed to keep pets out. Brands like Simplehuman make great options.
You could also try a heavy-duty outdoor trash can. They’re usually more robust and can withstand some rough handling.
Have you thought about a pet-proof trash can? There are some that come with locking mechanisms that are dog-proof. They might be a bit pricey but worth it.
Check out the trash cans with a sliding lid. They can be more challenging for dogs to figure out.
Look for industrial-grade trash cans. They’re heavy and usually have very secure lids that dogs can’t get into.
Some people swear by adding weights to the bottom of their trash cans to prevent their dogs from tipping them over. You could try that!
I use a tall, heavy-duty kitchen trash can that has a lockable lid. It works great for my big dog!
There are also smart trash cans that can be controlled via an app, which might help keep your pup out!
