What are the dimensions of the RoadBin car trash can?
RoadBin is 14" tall, 11" wide, and only 4" deep, with a 2.5 gallon capacity. The slim 4-inch depth is what lets it sit flat against a seat back or in a narrow footwell gap without crowding legroom.
Is the RoadBin car trash can actually leakproof?
Yes. RoadBin uses two layers: the interior is a leakproof PEVA liner that holds liquid and traps odor, and the exterior is 600D water-resistant oxford fabric. Coffee, melted ice, and drink spills stay inside the liner rather than soaking into your carpet — and the liner wipes clean with a paper towel.
Where does RoadBin fit in a car?
Three common placements: hanging behind the passenger seat from the headrest strap, standing on the center console between the rear seats, or upright in the front passenger footwell. The 4-inch profile fits in the gap beside a car seat or against the transmission tunnel in most vehicles.
Will it fit in a small or compact car?
RoadBin was designed specifically for small cars and tight back seats. Most car trash cans are bulky cylinders that eat footwell space; RoadBin’s 4-inch depth lets it sit flat where a round bin wouldn’t fit at all. It works in compact sedans as well as SUVs, trucks, vans, and RVs.
Does it tip over when driving?
No. A structured base keeps the bin upright and holds its shape in motion, and an adjustable strap secures it to a headrest or seat so it doesn’t slide during braking or turns.
What kind of trash bags does it use?
RoadBin works with standard plastic grocery bags or small trash liners, so there’s no proprietary refill to buy. Many owners simply reuse grocery bags. You can also use it without a bag, since the PEVA liner wipes clean.
How does it control odor in a hot car?
The zip-close top seals the bin between uses, which keeps smells from spreading through the cabin. This matters most in summer, when a parked car can exceed 130°F and food residue breaks down fast. Sealing the bin contains the liquid and the odor at the source.
Where can I buy RoadBin?
RoadBin is sold exclusively on Amazon. It’s made by TOMKA Essentials, a family-owned, USA-based small business, and ships from the USA with free returns through Amazon.
