A pet proof bin is a marvelous idea until someone boots the pedal so hard it breaks…..
Many repairs later the pedal is now completely broken so it doesn’t function as a “pedal bin”.
However, it could still be of use as storage for pet food or similar.
We continued to use it as a bin until recently!
All cleaned out ready for its next life free from the unintended violence of carefree but heavy footed individuals.
