Behrens Manufacturing 6210 Galvanized Steel Trash Can, 10-Gallon

Works as it should. I was able to put a 40lb bag of bird seed and still had plenty of room! Locks as it should. Very sturdy/strong construction. Absolutely keeps my dogs and rodents out.

I am very happy with this product. It has a great fitting lid so I am currently using it for dry cat food. I may get another one to be able to put large bags of birdseed in. Because of the great fitting lid even if it got knocked over it wouldn't spill the contents. It keeps the cat food fresh so I can buy the larger size product. It is made of metal so it doesn't crack or absorb smells like plastic. I am a senior and can easily get the lid off and pour in the food. I think it is a great value and I can't find anything like it in our local area.

Good quality and worth the money. I use my can to hold my fireplace ashes and I'm very happy with my purchase.

The media could not be loaded. I have the "Vittles Vault Airtight Stackable Pet Food Container 60lbs" and while it does keep a tight air seal, the material its made up of is hard plastic. What I didn't expected was that the neighborhood mouse was able to chew the lid and the container itself away, like nothing. So there is a big hole for them to enter the dog food that I place in the backyard.It was time to get a Metal Pet Food container and after many searches. This "Behrens 6106 10 Gallon Locking Lid" is my pick. I would of bought it locally at my Home Depot but they only carry the 6 Gallon size.This metal container has a very nice Galvanized finish smooth finish. The lid is not loose and its not tight either. It does have the "Seal" feeling when you place the lid on and take it off. I like the locking features so that no visitors from the backyard can have access to the dog food that is inside.There are some things that I would like to point out. The handle is "Punctured" in, which leaves a small gap of expose air. This will enable ants and such to smell what is inside this container and moisture can get in. To solve this you can add some Silicone the the handles point of connection to the lid to stop any moisture from entering.When I purchase this metal container, based on what people where saying that it will easily hold 50lbs of dog food. I was expecting to have some room left when I filled it with only 36lbs of Dry Dog Food.BUT... this 10 Gallon container that is listed for 50lbs of Dry food, can only hold.... 30lbs, NOT 50lbs. I had 6 lbs of dog food left from my bag of 36lbs of dry dog food.So that means that if you buy the 6 gallon size (listed with 35lbs of dry food capacity), you can probably only fill it up with 20lbs of dry dog food. This 10 gallon size (listed with 50lbs of dry dog food capacity), can ONLY hold 30lbs of dry dog food as you can see in my video on the day I received it.I am not looking to get the 20 gallon size as it's too big for me and the amount of space it will take plus it doesn't have this nice galvanized smooth finish nor the locking features of the 10 gallon size.Amazon (OAK5) once again did a great job at packing this container with bubble wrap, plus packing material in a super large box. It arrive without any damage and in perfect condition.I have no plans on returning this 10 gallon as you cannot find this size in any stores locally at this price of just under $18. You can find the 6 gallon size at Home Depot, Loews and Walmart.

Great size for me. I like then easy access and snug flip bar that holds the lid in place.

It's the perfect size container and I love that it locks to keep the animals out!

I’ve used these cans, with a liner, for dog poop for 25+ years. The first one got a little rust inside after about 10 years so I replaced it. My current one rusted at the handle attachment and one side broke off. The handle on the lid is largely what makes them usable for this purpose (or any purpose IMO) but I can no longer buy the cans with lids with handles locally. So I bought this one because the website picture and reviews show the lidded handle. I ignored the few reviews that said “no handle” because they were old. But THERE IS NO HANDLE. Useless for me and I’m initiating the extremely annoying process of a return.

This will be a second purchase of a locking lid can of this size. The first lasted 4 years in NC weather, year round. We use them in the dog yard for pet waste and find the size to be perfect. Not too large to be a space taker, but large enough to hold those wonderful doggy droppings from week to week for pick up.We line the can so the waste is not sitting in direct contact with the can and creating a smelly mess and breeding ground for all kinds of yuck. The lid seals nicely onto the can so there is no odor. I am able to remove it with one hand and a good tug or two. Given that the can is exposed to all kinds of weather and we do have a plastic liner that keeps moisture against it, I feel that it holds up well to constant, day to day use. I really have no cons to offer.Hope you find this review helpful and will click yes to rate it. It is short, as garbage cans don't have a lot of features to explore, so ease of use and durability seem most important, and this can meets those needs. If you need a small size option for garbage, indoors or out, I think you will be happy and the price point is very reasonable compared to similar products. Thank you!
