Camco Pop-Up Utility Container - Use as Collapsible Trash Can When Camping - Holds 30-Gallon Kitchen-Size Trash Bags - Stands 2-Ft Tall & Collapses for RV Storage and Organization (42893-A)

We love to RV and this product was something my husband found to put out while camping to collect trash. I was not that impressed, but after more then a year of use I can say I was wrong. This product folds up fairly flat when not in use and uses a simple strap to hold it in place. When not in use it can easily be tucked just about anywhere because of its flatter size. When parked, pull this container out, pull the strap and let it spring to life. We throw a large rock in the bottom, a large trash bag inside and this is our main trash can for our trips. Through many exciting trips and weather and lots of rocks, this container has maintained its integrity and works as well now as the day we bought it. When done, pull the trash, take out the rock, crush the container flat, strap it and stash it.If you use it as a trash can, like we do, be sure you have something heavy to place in the bottom as it will blow away in the wind if not weighted down.

We bought this for a recent camping trip. Normally we just tie a garbage bag to a metal stand but I wanted something with a little more structure (see pic - to the right of the camp stove). This is extremely light weight yet sturdy enough for your typical camping garbage. The 30-gallon black Hefty bags are the perfect size for this and there's enough bag to pull over the sides. I did end up using a binder clip to attach the bag to the container once it started filling with beer cans. :)The zippered cover is a great feature so you can cover the can during the day. We did empty it each night and stored it in the truck since we were in an area with bears. We didn't get any punctures in the garbage bags so the inside of the container didn't get dirty, but if it did you could easily wash it out. There are also handles if you want to carry the bag inside the container to dump it out.There are several similar products out there, but I bought this particular one because it has a loop on the bottom and a stake included. We didn't have any wind but it was nice to have the option to stake it down if we needed to. The stake is really heavy-duty and made from yellow plastic or you could use a tent stake.At the end of the trip, we just collapsed the container, secured it with the attached velcro piece and stored it in the included storage bag.I highly recommend this if you're looking for a portable alternative to a hard-sided garbage can.

I have been using this for several weeks on an extended camping trip, and it's been great. Where to put the garbage has always been an issue while camping, and it's so nice to have an actual trash can for a change, instead of a garbage bag barely hanging on to the end of a picnic table or tree branch, or even worse, just sitting on the ground. It's holding up really well even after weeks of daily use, and still looks exactly like it did when I took it out of the package the first time. A garbage bag fits in perfectly, and I add a couple of clips to it to help keep it secure. It comes with a stake in case it's windy, but I've found that the weight of the garbage usually keeps it in place without it. I love that this closes with a zipper, so I can quickly zip it up to keep rain water out, or to help protect it from birds and other small animals if we leave the campsite (of course we still put it in the car at night, since determined raccoons and bears could probably tear it open if they wanted to). I love that it's collapsible, since we have enough camping supplies as it is without a bulky garbage can to bring with us. It even comes with a little case to protect it, which isn't very thick, but does the job.Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase, and would recommend it to any camper in a heartbeat.

No more tying garbage bags to the canopy arms or pop up tent. Compact, light easy to store and transport. Just make sure you have the correct bags. A standard 13 gallon kitchen trash bags are too small. You're going to need the larger, outdoor can style bags.4 stars only because I don't think it will last that long. It's very useful and I'd absolutely purchase it again, but it's flimsy. That being said, I've seen other brands that are more expensive, and they're just as flimsy. Camco makes some good stuff for the prices. I've been very happy with almost every Camco thing I've bought for our trailer.UPDATE: Pro-Tip - Get some cheap little plastic clamps from Walmart or Harbor Freight for like a buck, and use 3 of them to hold the bag to the edges, so it doesn't keep falling in.

Much more durable and heavy duty than the plastic can it replaced.

After years of hanging garbage bags from trees or propping them up against shade canopies I decided it was finally time to invest in tidying up my campsite. This particular item was fantastic.For our purposes it was the perfect size. It comfortably holds a 30 gallon trash bag. I purchased solid clips to hold the bag in place. We filled it up with a long weekends' worth of trash with room to spare. It can be staked down on both sides through attached loops. Kept it securely in place during a strong bout of wind and rain that passed through the area. Zips closed to help keep the rain (and any curious passing critters) out.Handles and compactibility make it nice and portable. At the end of the trip we took the trash bag out and the container itself was clean and dry (on the inside). I'm sure this could spring some holes over time if a raccoon, mouse, or other dedicated creature takes interest in what's inside of it, or there's broken glass, sharp metal, etc. That aside, I see this lasting a number of years and am very happy with the purchase for my campsite.

Got this to hold contractor 42 gallon bags open while I do construction. It’s very sturdy when it’s open and then when I’m done it collapses so I can store it in my truck without taking up valuable space.
