Rubbermaid Brute 32 Gallon Dome Lid vs Rubbermaid Brute 32 Gallon Trash Can Lid

These are two lids for the same Rubbermaid Brute 32-gallon can, not two different cans. The Rubbermaid Commercial dome lid with a push door is the better pick for outdoor use: the swinging door lets people toss trash without lifting the lid, and the dome sheds rain. The flat snap-on lid is simpler and cheaper in build, with no door, so it suits covering a can that people open by hand. Owners of the flat lid call it a solid, well-fitting replacement with thick plastic, though one calls it merely adequate.

• Choose the Rubbermaid Commercial dome lid if you want a hands-free push door, odor and pest control, and a lid built for outdoor cans.
• Choose the flat snap-on lid if you just need a tight, UV-resistant cover and don't mind lifting it by hand.
