Each month we feature one trash can that fits the season, picked by the same published rules we use for our top lists. We don’t test products ourselves: the pick comes from manufacturer specs, retailer data and owner feedback.
Each month has a theme list, such as Kitchen in November for holiday cooking. The winner is the in-stock product with the highest score in that list, with a small bonus for a recent price drop or a new arrival. No brand or retailer can pay to be picked. How we rank explains the full rule.
