Think you have checked off every item on your dorm supplies packing list? Better double check! Just imagine getting all of your dorm room essentials unpacked on move-in day, kicking back, and deciding to heat up a package of your favorite ramen noodles. But at just that moment, when you go to throw away the plastic noodle wrapper… you realize you have forgotten one of the most necessary dorm life essentials–a trash can! You need a small trash can in your college dorm room for the aforementioned food wrappers, used tissues, pencil shavings, and all the other everyday trash items that you accumulate as a college student.

We are not sure why colleges typically do not provide trash receptacles in every dorm room, as this is the one dorm item that many college freshmen tend to forget. Save yourself the headache and make sure that you have everything you need for college with our Compact Trash Can - 3 Gallon - Black! This space saving trash can has a narrow profile so it won’t take up too much space in your college dorm room. But with a sizeable 3 gallon capacity, this dorm room trash can has enough space for both you and your college roommate to share. Don’t be blindsided on move-in day, and make sure that this important dorm room item is on your dorm essentials checklist!
