How it works

Built for high wind

Sand-weighted and grounded, CanClamp keeps your can exactly where you left it, even in storms.

Fits any can, no fuss

One strap, no sizing, no hardware. Set it once and forget it.

Keeps critters out

Strap over the lid to seal it shut against raccoons and other small animals, or around the handles to anchor the can itself.

Why this exists

I got tired of being embarrassed by my own trash can.

Every windy day it ended up three houses down across the street. I've clocked thousands of steps just walking to pick my trash can up, and I've even had a couple trash cans run over. So I built something ugly out of a magnet, a saw blade, and some 2x4s to hold it down. It scratched the can, but it stayed put — and that told me the idea was right: the problem isn't the can, it's that nothing is holding it down. And that's how CanClamp was born.
