Product Review
This diminutive wastebasket is just the right size for used tissues, scraps of paper, sewing cuttings, and other everyday bits of detritus. Measuring just 7 by 5-1/4 inches, the bin sits comfortably on a craft table, desk, or bathroom vanity. You can even keep it near the kitchen sink to collect coffee grounds for the compost bin. Made of stainless steel brushed to a contemporary matte finish, the wastebasket is comprised of a lid and base that pull apart for emptying. A round spring-loaded door in the center of the domed lid pushes open for depositing debris, then pops back into place when released. Wash the Pushboy by hand when necessary. A taller version, the Pushman, is also available.

Blomus is the brand name launched in 2001 for innovative stainless-steel products by SKS-Design, a family-owned German design company now run by the family's fifth generation. Comprising more than 500 items for the modern kitchen, bath, bar, fireplace, office, and outdoor patio, Blomus products embody this philosophy: Good design is both simple to use and beautiful to look at. This wastebasket, like most Blomus products, is made in Germany. --Ann Bieri

I got this trash can to put on the counter next to my coffee maker for discarded Sweet & Low packages. I love how it fits in with my black and stainless appliances. The item itself works pretty good for the most part. The only issue I have found with it is the lid fits loosely on the base and slides off when putting something in it. to remedy the issue, I am planning to drill a tiny hole in the sides and out a tiny hand screw on each side of the lid to hold it firmly in place. I'm not sure if a review is the appropriate forum to mention that actually finding this item or one like it on the web was very difficult to locate. Perhaps additional keywords can be added to the item to make it easier to find. I used search terms like "mini trash can," counter top trash can," "small waste basket," small stainless steel trash can," but none of these got me to this item. I'm not sure how my husband finally found it.
