Camco 42893 Collapsible Trash Can, 33 Gallon Black
Camco 42893 Collapsible Trash Can, 33 Gallon Black — Product description
The Camco 42893 is a collapsible container that pops into a sturdy round frame, holds a full 33-gallon bag, then folds flat to about 2.5 inches for storage. A zippered lid keeps wind, odor, and critters out, and the included ground stakes hold it steady on a breezy afternoon. It's the extra trash can that disappears when you don't need it.
The Camco 42893 is a collapsible round container that pops open into a sturdy frame and holds a full 33-gallon trash bag. It stands 24 inches tall, measures 18 inches across, and sets up in seconds. When you're done, it folds flat to about 2.5 inches so it slides behind a seat, under a bench, or into a storage bay without eating up space.
We keep one of these around for the same reason a lot of campers and tailgaters do. It gives you a real trash spot at a site that doesn't have one. Drop a 33-gallon bag inside, fold the top edge over the rim, and you've got a stable can that won't tip over the first time somebody tosses in a plate. The zippered lid is the part people end up appreciating most. Zip it shut and you keep the wind from lifting your bag, keep the smell down, and keep curious critters out of your garbage overnight.
Wind is the enemy of any lightweight container, and Camco planned for it. The 42893 comes with ground stakes, so you can pin it down on grass or soft dirt and it'll stay put through a gusty afternoon. That's a small thing until you've chased an empty can across a campground. On a hard surface like a driveway or a concrete pad you'll want to set it near something solid or weight the bottom, since the stakes need ground to bite into.
The body is black vinyl over a self-supporting frame. Vinyl's the right call here because it wipes clean, shrugs off a rain shower, and doesn't hold odor the way fabric would. A quick pass with a damp rag and it's ready for the next trip. The black color hides scuffs and doesn't show grime, which matters on a piece of gear that lives outdoors and gets handled with dirty hands.
Think of it as a utility container first and a trash can second. It works great for garbage, but the same frame is handy for hauling recycling, wet towels, laundry on a long trip, kindling and firewood around the fire ring, or sports gear out of the trunk. Because it collapses so small, a lot of folks keep one in the RV, one in the truck, and one in the garage. They're cheap enough that having a spare on hand just makes life easier.
Setup is about as simple as it gets. Pull it open, let the frame lock into its round shape, line it with a 33-gallon bag, and zip the lid when you need it closed. Breaking it down is the reverse. Collapse the frame, fold it flat, and store it. No tools, no assembly, no parts to lose beyond the stakes, which tuck inside when you pack it away.
A couple of honest notes. This is a bag holder and a frame, not a rigid hard-sided can, so it's built for normal household and campsite trash rather than heavy, sharp, or jagged debris that could work a hole in the vinyl over time. If you're cleaning up broken glass or metal scrap, use a hard can. And while the stakes handle a normal breeze, a big storm will still push around anything this light, so bring it in when the weather turns. Used the way it's meant to be used, it's one of those small pieces of gear that quietly earns its spot in the storage bay.
For anyone setting up a campsite, working a tailgate, or just wanting an extra can that disappears when it's not in use, the Camco 42893 covers it. Full 33-gallon capacity when you need it, 2.5 inches thick when you don't.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the Camco 42893 container?
It's round, 18 inches in diameter and 24 inches tall, which is a full 2 feet of height. That footprint fits a standard 33-gallon trash bag with the top edge folded over the rim.
What size trash bags does it fit?
It's sized for 33-gallon bags. Drop the bag in, cuff the opening over the frame, and zip the lid when you need it closed.
Does it come with a lid?
Yes. It has a zippered lid that closes over the top to keep wind from lifting your bag, hold down odor, and keep animals out of the trash overnight.
How small does it fold down for storage?
It collapses to about 2.5 inches thick. That's flat enough to store behind a seat, under a bench, or in an RV storage bay without taking up real room.
Does it include stakes to hold it in place?
It does. Ground stakes come with it so you can pin it down on grass or soft dirt. On a hard surface like concrete you'll want to set it against something solid or weight the base instead.
What is it made of?
The body is black vinyl over a self-supporting frame. Vinyl wipes clean with a damp rag, sheds a rain shower, and doesn't hold odor the way fabric would.
Can I use it for anything besides trash?
Sure. It works as a general utility container too, whether that's recycling, wet towels, laundry on a long trip, firewood by the fire ring, or gear out of the trunk.
Is it strong enough for heavy or sharp debris?
It's a bag holder and frame built for normal household and campsite trash. For broken glass, metal scrap, or anything jagged that could work a hole in the vinyl, use a hard-sided can instead.
