To replace a broken part from your trash can, start by identifying the exact model and the failed component. At our trash can factory, we stock common spares such as lids, pedals, hinges, springs, dampers, wheels, axles, foot bars, handles, and inner buckets. Do not throw away the whole can just because one part has failed.

First, find the model or serial label. It is often under the lid, on the base, or inside the inner bucket. Write down the model number and, if available, the part number. Take clear photos of the broken part, the surrounding area, and the full trash can. These photos help our support team confirm the correct replacement.

Next, contact our trash can factory support team. Use the website contact form, email, or the service channel listed in your manual. Include your model number, serial number, purchase date, order number, and photos. Describe what happened: a cracked lid, a stuck pedal, a snapped hinge pin, a loose wheel, or a broken damper. If the can is still under warranty, ask whether the part is covered. If it is not, request a quote and an installation guide.

Before repair, empty and clean the trash can. Wear gloves, work on a soft cloth, and keep small screws in a cup. You may need a screwdriver, pliers, an Allen wrench, a small hammer, and silicone lubricant. Never force plastic parts, because cold or brittle plastic can crack.

For a lid replacement, open the lid, remove the hinge pins or compress the hinge spring, then lift the old lid away. For a pedal replacement, unscrew the pedal from the foot bar or disconnect the linkage. For a wheel, pry off the cap, remove the axle clip, and pull the wheel free. For a damper, unscrew the bracket and detach the rod. Take photos as you go so reassembly is easier.

Install the new part in reverse order. Compare the old and new parts before fitting them. Align hinges, springs, and pedal linkages carefully. Tighten screws snugly, but do not overtighten plastic. Test the lid, pedal, and wheels several times. If the lid closes too fast or the pedal sticks, adjust the spring, hinge, or linkage. A small amount of silicone lubricant can help moving parts.

If the replacement part does not fit, stop and contact our factory support again. Do not modify the trash can or use a part from a different model. With the right spare and a careful installation, your trash can can work properly again and last much longer.
