Capacity:15.85 US Gallons,

Color:Stone

Overall nice quality, but first can came with a dent (in photo). Customer service was very helpful and we were sent a replacement easily. A couple things to note: the compost section didn’t seal air tight so we experienced some gnats, and the carbon filter doesn’t do much to help with garbage smell. I like the stacked double bin feature though, and it seems like it will last.

Love this trash totem. I had one before and moved so I gave it to someone’s daughter for her college dorm. Now I’m back in an apartment and ordered a new one! Love it.
