Questions About Trash Can
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    The main differences between a wastebasket and a trash can are function and size. Generally, a waste basket is a small container used indoors to collect waste. A trash can is a larger waste container. Both indoor and outdoor versions are available. Many waste baskets have decorative designs, while trash cans are usually simple metal or plastic containers.
