Is it possible to place this trash can flat against a wall without it damaging the wall when the lid is opened and closed?

Yes. No problem whatsoever of wall damage. The hinge cover extends out 1.5 in. from the back of the can. This also means it is not truly flush with the wall, but prohibits any damage.

I guess it could be stored upright but if you were going to lean it against a wall you wou have to have something heavy against it so the wheels wouldn't roll out from under it. So, not impossible but much more difficult.

I haven't tried it but I checked it out and it looks like if you were to remove 2 screws at the top of the can one in front and one in back the divider will come out. But there are two plastic rings that fit on the top of the can, one for each side that the trash bags tuck around to hold them in place. this might cause a problem as they would still be down the center. I guess you could remove them and just put the bag over the entire can and put the lid on to hold the bags.

I would say NO. Plastic snaps for the lid. I had friends.that were required to put bricks on top and if that is needed this is not the right choice

If you could only read the instruction booklet provided with the unit, you would know you must leave at least a12 inch perimeter around the unit for proper operation. So, no, you may NOT put the unit up against a wall!

I don't think so, but the dog would either have to tip over the can and it is pretty heavy, or be able to push up the lid and be tall enough to reach the garbage inside. the foot pedal is the only way to open the lid otherwise. Hope that helps!

No, the only way the lids stay open is to step on the foot pedal. I thought that could be a nuisance but it's hands free and I don't actually find a problem with it. It's a great garbage can.

You can put it next to the wall, but not against it. I wouldn't recommend it b/c the hinge or lid may hit the wall. I put ours as close to the wall as we can get it and it is still a space saver.

Yes, just drill a hole through the lid. There's no provision for locking the rotation, but it hasn't been an issue for me.

YES, you CAN store it vertically up against the wall with the saw still attached! But you want to collapse it to transport it horizontally. Absolutely wonderful system! One of the best things I ever bought!

It needs to be 4-5 inches away from the wall in order for the lid to be opened.

Yes, but you will still want to attach it to a wall because it is small and lightweight. With the heavy spring in the lid it will follow over when pushing it open to throw something away.

it's pretty heavy duty and since it has no lid, I'm not sure how I / you would like it not being able to be sealed after the garbage is in it before you empty it. I actually think something with a lid would do better. Plus, since it's so narrow, a lot of things may not fit in it - kinda depends on how you sort your trash. If you did use it as a kitchen can, you'd want to put some type of plastic trash bag in it as a liner.

I don't believe that opening the lid requires any extra room on back side of unit. Ours is pushed tightly against a wall and lid does not contact wall when opened. Ill double check when I get home but pretty sure that is the case.

where would i mount the top lid cushion to prevent the lid from hitting the wall mounted flush panel?

No. The lid and box form a 90 degree angle when opened with the clear lid staying in an upright position until you close it. I know some reviewers felt this was a problem or inconvenience, but I actually prefer it this way since I find it more compact and controllable. This is a great storage box.

I have mine against a wall and leave the lid open most of the time because it is easier to put clothes into the bags. The lid does not fold all the way to the back of the sorter. It opens to about a 90 degrees angle and will stay open in that position.
