We all know that touching the garbage can or dumpster lid is icky. We dread thinking the number of germs and diseases that are on it. Unfortunately, it is one of those dirty jobs that has to be done and somebody has to do it. If you are one of the unfortunate souls that has stuck with this unwanted task, perhaps you should consider getting the Lid-L-Buddy.

No, the Lid-L-Buddy doesn’t help you get rid of the trash. Neither does it make someone else do the dirty task for you. What it does though is to make the dirty job a little less icky. With this handy gadget, you can open the garbage lid without touching it.

Basically it is a plastic handle that helps you flip open the garbage lid. It has a secondary function of propping up the lid with a slight gap. With the lid propped open, you can easily toss in stuff without bothering to open and closing the lid all the time. Leaving the lid slightly ajar also lets the bin to “breathe”. You know how you always hold your breath when you open the lid? Letting the bin ventilate prevents the nauseous gases from accumulating inside.

The Lid-L-Buddy works on virtually all kinds of garbage bins and dumpsters. Depending on whether there is enough gap between the lid and the bin rim, you may need to install the included lid spacers. However this is only a one time job and probably the last time you ever need to touch the lid again.
