Coghlan's Pop-Up Trash & Recycle Can — 29.5 Gal Collapsible Bin with Zippered Lid & Handles

Coghlan's Pop-Up Lightweight Trash & Recycle Can is a collapsible 29.5-gallon dual-purpose bin that pops open instantly for trash or recycling and folds flat for compact storage.

Designed for campers, RVers, tailgaters, and backyard gatherings, this durable, spring-loaded container gives you a simple way to manage waste without bulky gear. The 19" x 24" dimensions provide generous capacity while the zippered lid, label window, and convenient handles keep contents contained and transportable. Lightweight yet sturdy, it bridges the gap between a temporary waste station and a reusable, space-saving solution for on-the-go cleanup.

How quickly does it set up and pack away?

The pop-up mechanism deploys in seconds thanks to an internal spring frame; no assembly or tools are required. When cleanup is done, the bin collapses flat for easy storage in an RV closet, car trunk, or gear bag.

• Spring-loaded frame for instant pop-up use
• Folds flat to minimize storage footprint
• No assembly or extra parts to keep track of

Can it keep odors and pests out at a campsite?

Yes — the zippered lid helps contain odors and limits access by insects and curious wildlife, improving campsite cleanliness. The lid also includes a small pocket to stash gloves, ties, or a trash grabber for sanitary handling.

• Zippered lid reduces smell escape
• Lid pocket stores small cleanup essentials
• Side ties secure the opening if needed

Is it useful for separating trash and recyclables?

The generous 29.5-gallon volume and clear label window make it easy to designate the bin for trash or recyclables depending on the event. Use multiple units to create a simple two-bin system for sorting at tailgates, picnics, or large campsites.

• 29.5-gallon capacity (19" x 24") for large loads
• Label window for quick identification of contents
• Lightweight design encourages moving and positioning

How easy is it to transport and secure?

Built-in handles allow for comfortable carrying even when the bag is full, and side nylon ties help fasten the lid or secure a trash bag inside. Its compact folded size makes it practical to bring along in an RV, boat, or car for on-demand waste management.

• Integrated handles for lifting and carrying
• Side nylon ties for closure and bag anchoring
• Collapsible profile suits compact travel spaces

It’s ideal for anyone needing a lightweight, easy-to-store solution that keeps trash contained and simplifies recycling while on the move.
