Coghlan's Pop-Up Collapsible Recycle Can 29.5 Gallon - Lightweight Portable with Zippered Lid

Coghlan's Pop-Up Recycle Can is a lightweight, spring-loaded, 29.5 gallon collapsible recycling bin made for easy transport, quick setup, and durable outdoor use.

Whether you're setting up at a campsite, organizing a tailgate, or keeping recyclables tidy in a backyard gathering, this pop-up recycle can gives you a large-capacity, pack-flat option that’s built to handle the outdoors. It combines a spring-steel frame with tough polyethylene fabric, a zippered lid to keep critters out, and practical details like carrying straps and a storage pocket so cleanup stays simple and efficient.

How quickly does the bin set up and pack away?

It opens instantly thanks to the spring-loaded coil that springs the bin into shape the moment you release it. When you’re done, the same coil collapses so the unit flattens to a slim profile that slips into a gear box, trunk, or closet.

• Pops open in seconds — no assembly tools required
• Folds flat for compact storage and easy transport
• Lightweight design keeps carry weight low for camping or travel

Will it keep bugs and odors out when used outdoors?

The integrated zippered lid provides a secure closure that helps reduce odors and keeps insects and wildlife from getting inside. The zipper creates a tighter seal than an open-top container, making the bin more suitable for longer stints outside or for storing recyclable materials until disposal.

• Zippered lid seals the opening to deter bugs and animals
• Durable fabric and construction slow odor escape
• Works well for short-term storage between collection runs

How much can this recycle can hold and what bag sizes fit?

With a 29.5 gallon (111 L) capacity, the can accommodates both standard and larger recycling bags, giving you flexibility for longer events or busier sites. The volume is generous enough for multiple users and reduces the need for frequent emptying.

• 29.5 gallon / 111 liter interior capacity for large loads
• Compatible with common recycling bag sizes for easy lining
• Ideal for multi-person campsites, picnics, and outdoor gatherings

Is the materials and construction durable for repeated outdoor use?

The can is made from heavy-duty, tear-resistant polyethylene and reinforced with a spring-steel coil, offering resilience against rough handling, wind, and repeated collapse and deployment. Carry handles and a sewn storage pocket add functional reinforcement for everyday outdoor demands.

• Tear-resistant polyethylene fabric stands up to rugged conditions
• Spring-steel frame holds shape and survives repeated use
• Webbed carrying handles and storage pocket increase utility

Who is this for: Campers, tailgaters, event hosts, and backyard entertainers who need a large yet portable recycling solution will find this pop-up can useful. It suits people who value quick setup, compact storage, and practical details like a zipper closure and storage pocket—anyone organizing outdoor activities who wants to keep recyclables contained and out of the way without hauling a heavy bin.
