Could this be used to hold dog food? would a 35lb bag of dog food fit?

I think so as far as size but it would probably take both sides. I am not sure how it would hold up with the weight. The bags tore apart after awhile but the interior seemed to hold up. I don't have the unit anymore because it did not work the way I wanted so I can't check. I think my dog's 18 lb bag of food would fit on one side if that helps.

Yes, it would fit in here.. You may have to put the food in another type of bag other than the original packaging first in order to have distributed to fit the bin. Also, over time, that much weight may take it's toll on the integrity of the piece. The inside bin is not as heavily constructed as the rest of the hamper. HTH.

I think you could get a 35 pound bag of dog food in it. You might consider putting the actual bag in it though, as I think just dumping it in there would cause a moisture problem. Great idea though!

Yes, I think it would. If the dog poop is already in a bag it should work just fine. It would not work if you use a scoop to pick it up, because you have to push it down through the hole. Even if you have a big dog, I think the hole is big enough for dog poop, considering how big some of the diapers are that I put in mine. I'm not sure if it will hold a whole week's worth of dog poop, but it might. Now that I think about it, I probably change my pail out about once a week, with about 3 diapers per day in it. The only thing to watch for is that after a few days it sometimes stinks when the lid is opened and you push another diaper inside. For me though, the smell goes away after you close it. But all in all, I would definitely give this a try for that purpose, I think it will work.

I don't know if that would work or not. May depend what you have in the top one. I returned the two I ordered. They were really flimsy and didn't close...supposed to be airtight. Need that for dog food. Might work for recycling items. I would find them sold locally if you can and check out before ordering. They are sold in large pet stores and farm stores. Unfortunately, I didn't know that until after I had ordered them. Good luck.

I'm sorry.....I thought you were speaking of a different unit. Yes, this will easily hold 35lbs~

No. If the dog food is regular sized kibble, for example Purina Dog Chow, this 50 pound container is not big enough. The 50 pounds is likely accurate if the food pieces are smaller or more dense. I'm bummed because I bought after looking at the responses to this very question. The response of 30 - 35 pounds is accurate for this purpose. I will be returning this and purchasing the next size up to hold my bargain sized (formerly 50lb) 46 pound bag of Purina Dog Chow. And yes, I am disappointed as I am the mother of a teenage boy who seems to revel in any mistakes I make, I don't need any more material for my child to point out how dingy his mother is. I'm patiently waiting for the day when he remembers how smart I am once again.... when does that day come?

You might be able to fit a tiny amount of food, but the zipper is pretty tight when you zip it up empty. I would say you would want to wait so your pup can get a full serving.

It would be a tight fit at best. I'm putting a 5 LB Chihuahua in it and it's roomy for her. I tried putting my 15 lb Chihuahua mix in and she's significantly bigger than the bag. Unless your dog's going to curl up really small, about half of him will be above the top of the bag when he's sitting up.

no, there isn't enough room for 2-8lb dogs. my 9 lb yorkie or one adult cat is all that will fit in this carrier. this about the size of a small duffle bag.

Possibly... The grooves are pretty deep so some might get stuck at the bottom, depending on how aggressive your dog would be to get it all. We use ours for dry food only, and it has really slowed our dog down!

This may be too large for your need. It will hold much more than a cup of kibble.

I returned mine because I couldn't get it to fold and it was torn on one side. As for whether 3 dogs would fit, I don't think it's supposed to hold more than 25/30 lbs.

I dint use the container to hold pet food, rather to hold bird seeds, but it hold the 50 pound bag I put in it. Hope this helps.

I use mine for dog food, but I don't see why you couldn't use for garbage. Not sure how bag would fit inside. Simplehuman sells trash cans though so I might check those out first.

The bin is 13-3/4 inches at its widest point. A 35 pound bag fits in it with a little room to spare, but I think 40 lbs. would be too much!

Probably. I use it for my 15 pound dachshund. It's only a few inches from the floor and holds about 1-1/2 cups of food, which is perfect for a small dog. Perhaps a larger one is available?

Just received the 47 qt size and it is too small. I tried to pour a 25 lb bag of puppy chow in and it would not all fit in the container, even though it states on the side of the container that it would hold 37+ lbs of dog food. I am now going to order the larger one and use this one for something else.

I use this for dry dog bone treats and it holds 14 pounds of large bones. I think it could hold 25 pounds of dry dog food depending on the size of the chunks.
