However, according to Richard Hunt, an expert in the law of accessible design, “In general, the ADA construction standards only apply to what it calls architectural elements, which are just things that are built in. Many trash can manufacturers will advertise their touch-top cans as ADA-compliant in the product specs. If you’re unable to use a step can, you may have searched for “ADA-compliant” trash cans (the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability). Swing-top and fold-in lids frequently get caught on trash as the receptacle fills up, which prevents them from opening properly. The lids also tend to get splattered with food as you scrape dishes into the trash. They won’t keep odorous garbage contained or discourage inquisitive pets or pests from getting inside.
