At Last - a Dog Proof Garbage Can!
And you can quote me: "If you've ever had a dog that likes to get into the garbage, you know how frustrating (and dangerous) it is. And you also know how frustrating it is to try to find a dog-proof garbage can. In fact, there was only one dog-proof trash can on the market - and you had to (I kid you not) bolt it to the wall. And that dog proof garbage can cost $110.00 plus shipping. So I was thrilled to find this dog proof trash can which doesn't need to be bolted to the wall, and which comes with free shipping from Amazon."

And which is on sale at Amazon right now for only $45.00!
Made by Simplehuman, this dog-proof garbage can features an easy to use slide lock which locks the lid in place. And, even though it’s a standard kitchen-size slim garbage can, it has wheels (pretty cool!)
Here’s a picture of it:

It works perfectly.
We love ours. And our dog doesn’t. Nuff said.
You can buy the dog-proof garbage can here from Amazon.

That would be great for us. Our rescue cat Stig likes tipping the bin over searching for anything edible, and his definition is flexible in the extreme. The other night, he consumed the cooking foil in which sausages had been cooked: luckily for him, but not for us, the foil came back up rather than continuing on the painful way through him. Gave me a start in the morning though
Unfortunately this item is not available outside the US and there is no equivalent on Amazon UK that I have found yet. On with the search…

Named after, clearly, Stig of the Dump.

My dog chewed, clawed, and managed to pull the lid open after only 1 day of practice.

Wow! What kind of dog do you have?? Our dog has *never* been able to open the can (he has knocked it over once, but even then couldn’t get the lid open!)
