Product Insights
The Simons Maison Small Modern Wastebasket ($29, in stock) promises a space-saving solution for tight bathrooms: its square footprint fits flush into corners and against walls, and its 9.75-inch height slides under low-hung sinks where taller bins cannot. The swing lid closes automatically (must be held open) and is fully removable for cleaning, while the matte finish hides scuffs from lid movement. However, the low profile and lightweight construction create tradeoffs: the basket can tip over when the lid is pushed, particularly on smooth floors, and standard 12x18-inch bags overhang, requiring folding or a smaller bag; the finish resists visible scuffs but is not scratch-proof.

Discreet waste basket for the bathroom, bedroom, or office
A small bin for keeping personal waste out of sight in spots like a guest bathroom, bedroom, or desk. The swing lid flips back for a toss, then returns flush on its own so trash stays hidden, and the non-porous interior wipes clean with a damp cloth. Some reviewers say the thin plastic lid hinge feels fragile and can snap if the flap is bent backward or the bin is dropped, so gentle handling helps it last.[1]
Tidy wastebasket for guest bathrooms and powder rooms
In guest bathrooms and powder rooms, this small wastebasket's petite scale fits beside vanities and vanity stools without dominating the space. The compact body slides into tight spots without blocking movement, and the self-closing lid keeps personal waste discreet. Based on customer reviews.[1]
Desk-side bin for a home office
Kept beside the desk in a home office, this small wastebasket catches everyday paper and snack wrappers without taking up legroom. Customers report its compact body slides into tight spots like under a desk without blocking movement.[1]
A wastebasket that helps keep small pets out of the trash
For pet owners tired of coming home to pulled-out tissues or dental floss, this small wastebasket is used to pet-proof a bathroom. Its narrow opening and weighted swing lid are reported to stop small dogs from getting into the contents, and the lid returns flush after each toss to hide the trash. This use is based on customer reviews, so it reflects reported experiences rather than a guaranteed result.[1]
Lining with small or upcycled bags
Per customer reviews, this small wastebasket fits grocery produce bags perfectly as liners, so you can reuse small bags instead of throwing them away and cut down on single-use bag waste. Keep a stash of small bags on hand, since standard 13-gallon kitchen bags bunch up inside and smaller 4-gallon bags or produce bags are what avoid waste bulk.[1]
Daily waste in a main family bathroom
This small wastebasket can hold everyday bathroom waste like tissues and hygiene items. In a main family bathroom, however, customer reviewers report that daily hygiene waste and kid's waste fill it up quickly, leading to frequent trips to the main bin or overflow.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Small Modern Wastebasket: Choose this if you want a compact matte plastic bin (about 7.75 by 7.75 by 9.75 inches) that slides into tight spots beside vanities or under desks in a bathroom, bedroom, or office. The removable swing lid hides contents, closes flush after each toss, and per customer reviews can even deter small dogs from digging out tissues, while the non-porous interior wipes clean with a damp cloth. Note that it fills quickly in busy family bathrooms, needs small 4-gallon or produce-style bags rather than standard kitchen liners, and reviewers say the thin plastic lid hinge can snap if the flap is bent too far or dropped, so handle it gently.[1] | Dark Faux-Wood Wastebasket: Choose this if you want a compact, lightweight bin that tucks into tight spots—reviewers report it slides under a standard desk and fits powder rooms, studios, or tight nooks while still holding daily waste. Its dark faux-wood grain suits rustic or traditional bathrooms and home offices, with two cutout handles for easy carrying; it measures about 10.25 by 7 by 11.75 inches in one brown colorway. Note that it is made of very strong, rigid cardboard (paper and plastic composition) with a faux-wood finish, not actual wood, so it may feel less substantial if you expect solid construction.[2] | Acacia Wood Wastebasket: Choose this if you want a compact, stylish wood bin for a bathroom or bedroom: it measures 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter and 10 inches (25 cm) tall, is made of responsibly sourced (FSC-certified) acacia wood with a removable magnetic swivel lid, and reviewers praise its solid, premium feel and chic look for light waste like tissues. Skip it as a main kitchen bin—reviewers say it fills up too quickly—note that standard trash bags may not fit well under the lid design, and the swing door can be stiff when new.[3,4] |

Does what I bought it for
This was purchased to keep my dog out of the bathroom garbage can and it works because it's too small for him to get his nose into. It's a bit flimsy but does what it's supposed to. I like that I can use small plastic produce bags as liners.

I liked the first one I bought so much that I bought a second one. One in black, the other white. It is a small basket with a tilt lid and a contemporary look.
