Genuine Joe 6 Gallon Steel Fire-Safe Trash Can - GJO58897

GV: We bought this for a relative living in a senior facility after the fire marshall set a requirement that all residents switch to fireproof trash cans. This is sturdy, large enough to be functional, and is 10% of the cost of most others available.

Kimberly Nichols: I needed to order multiple fire proof trash cans for my business. These were just what I was looking for, at a great price! Very fast shipping!

CaDesertRat: It holds garbage beautifully. It’s metal. It doesn’t leak however depending upon what is in it it is possible that it will stink. Aside from that it sits quietly under my desk and doesn’t ask for much except to be emptied when full so that it doesn’t overflow. I would recommend It to anyone who needs to hold garbage in a smaller container before taking it to a larger container to take it to the street to be picked up by trash collectors. My intention is to keep it for many years and use it to contain things that I no longer need and do not feel I should donate to those less fortunate. I’m sure it’s sturdiness, durability and value for the money will pay for itself handsomely over the course of many years.

Not Your Coach: Update. Have ordered 2 more since the original review. The latest one arrived pretty banged up from shipping. Yes, I was able to bend it back into a roughly circular shape. And yes, it is a garbage can, not a display piece for the mantle. With a can liner added I'm probably the only one that notices the creases. Not worth sending it back. BTW, I found that the 8 Gallon Bags by Teivio are a perfect fit for the cans.

[Original Review: 5 stars]
Ordered 2. One for my home office and the other for a teen's bedroom who wanted a larger garbage can but didn't want a large plastic one like a kitchen or garage. While I did get an eye roll for its soviet-era school room utilitarian styling, it is getting used. For my office, it's a great fit. This is a sturdy, well built, metal can. It is larger than the usual wicker or plastic office garbage can.

Davis K: This thing was fantastic, I have it on my patio to thrown in any junk ads, bank papers and use it to breakdown and burn cardboard boxes. The bucket has not melted or deformed in any way. I do however have 1 slight issue that I was not aware of before purchasing. There is a slight gap where the base is attached to the walls. This means that if you use water to put out this fire, the water will leak out the bottom. Not too big of an issue, just something to note. However, the issue this can cause, is that small embers can come out the bottom of this can. Even though I had the bucket up on a couple 2x4s to not be burning directly on the ground, I pulled up the bucket after using it the first few times and kept noticing burned ground below the can. The 2x4s were not burned, so it wasn't just radiating heat, and I put the bucket up on a couple CMU bricks so I could see underneath, and sure enough I could see a few glowing embers drop down from time to time. It isn't a flow or shooting sparks, it is truly very very minor. But if anyone uses this for a fire proof can inside, such as 1 review I noticed about an elderly person putting out cigarettes in it..... you may definitely want to be...
