Last year I purchased an SUV that has a console and no place to stash trash. With two boys, thier friends, and carpools this was not good. I searched department stores and auto parts stores for a weighted trash bin (that wouldn't tip over) and had no luck. Finally, I came across this product on Amazon. It is just what I wanted -it is weighted AND has velcroe, so it stays put behind the console in a place where all vehicle occupants can easily dispose of trash. It is neat and clean looking. It's a bit small, but I keep it lined with an 8 gallon trash bag and empty it often.

There is some some confusion about the size. This is a compact "box", 8" long, 5" wide, and 8" high. If you don't have a ruler handy, that's *about* as wide as a dollar bill and as tall/long as a dollar bill laid against another one that' been folded in half. If you're not into measurements, think half-a-shoe-box. However you measure it, it's big enough to hold the litter for an afternoon outing but not for a week-long trip.
There are some Velcro strips along the bottom that do a great job of keeping the container from sliding around. There are also rigid edges that keep it standing straight and tall. The two mesh pockets are convenient except that depending on how you position the container it may be you can only get at one (as in the picture).
The only thing I didn't like was the lid. It is a flap, connected on one of the short sides. It's meant to be fastened by a piece of Velcro connected to a lip on the opposite. Unfortunately, the Velcro piece is small, and while reasonably rigid the top edge of the container doesn't offer a lot of resistance. As a result it is difficult to keep the flap sealed. That isn't a real problem since the top stays down pretty well on its own weight. Still, since the went to the trouble of adding the Velcro tab it would have been nice if it actually worked.
Bottom line, with the one minor annoyance aside this is a nice alternative to a hanging trash bag or a car floor filled with litter.

Best Deals for Talus TrashStand Floor Litterbag Compact-Black
I've had this little trash bag in my car for probably 8 years. It has been very useful and never tips over. But it is small as people have said, and it's getting smaller all the time, because it compresses down since the sides don't hold it up (as another reviewer has mentioned). I have to say, I'm finally looking for a different style of trash can for my car.

I really loved the idea of the Trash can in the car. No mess, no garbage floating around. I was very exited and disappointed when I finally got the product. It is much smaller than expected. It really won't fit a bag so you have to take it out to empy it. It also does not stick to the cars carpeting. It's weighted at the bottom, but it will still tip over. Did I mention it's very small? This is a good idea, but it's still more practicle to carry a bag in your car instead of this. It just takes space.
