Coghlan's Mini Pop-Up Trash Can — 14 Gallon Collapsible Outdoor Bin, Zippered Lid & Handles

Coghlan's Mini Pop-Up Lightweight Trash Can is a 14-gallon collapsible waste bin that springs open for instant use and zips closed to seal odors and keep insects out.

Designed for campers, hikers, RVers and anyone who needs a compact, reliable outdoor trash solution, this mini version keeps camp areas neat without the bulk of a rigid can. The spring-loaded frame expands in seconds so you can drop in a medium-sized garbage bag, then fold it flat for storage when the trip is over. Constructed from heavy-duty polyethylene fabric with integrated handles and a zippered lid, the unit emphasizes portability, durability and simple cleanup.

How quickly does it set up and pack away?

Setup is instant: unzip the storage lid and the pop-up frame snaps to full height, ready to accept a bag. When finished, use the nylon side ties to keep it collapsed and lay it flat in your pack or car trunk.

• Springs open in seconds — no assembly tools required
• Folds flat to a compact profile for easy stowage
• Side nylon ties lock it closed to prevent accidental springing

Will it hold enough trash for a small group or weekend trip?

Yes — the mini Pop-Up Trash Can holds about 14 gallons (53 L), which fits most medium-sized garbage bags and covers trash needs for a few people over a short trip. Its capacity balances portability with useful volume so you won’t be emptying it constantly.

• 14 Gal (53 L) capacity fits standard medium trash bags
• Roomy enough for food wrappers, paper plates and campsite refuse
• Integrated handles allow easy carrying to a disposal point

How does it perform outdoors — durability and critter protection?

The body is made from durable polyethylene fabric designed to resist wear from outdoor conditions while the zippered lid helps contain odors and limits insect access. That combination reduces the chance of attracting wasps, flies and scavengers to your camp area.

• Heavy-duty polyethylene resists punctures and repeated use
• Zippered lid seals smells and blocks insects
• Handles let you lift and empty without tipping or spilling

How portable is it for hiking, RVing or tailgates?

Its lightweight, collapsible design makes it straightforward to include with other trip essentials. Once folded flat it occupies little space, and the built-in handles make temporary placement and transport simple.

• Low packed profile fits in backpacks, lockers or car trunks
• Lightweight spring frame minimizes carried weight
• Easy to move when full thanks to sturdy handles

Who is this for? If you want a no-fuss way to manage waste on short outdoor outings, this mini Pop-Up Trash Can is for you. It suits campers on weekend trips, families at backyard barbecues, day-hikers needing a tidy base camp, RV owners who want a lightweight bin, and anyone who prefers a compact, reusable alternative to loose bags. The combination of quick deployment, zippered closure, durable fabric and a 14-gallon capacity makes it a practical, low-maintenance choice for keeping outdoor spaces cleaner and more organized.
