A Trash Can
With a Personality

PUSH® isn't your ordinary trash can. Created in 1995 by inventor Daniel Deutsch, PUSH is an animated robotic character with an unmistakable personality — curious, witty, and irresistibly charming.

At first glance, you may think PUSH is a normal trashcan, but then he talks, and roams around, while still accepting trash! His signature voice, characterization, and lovable personality also make him unmistakable!

PUSH can actually accept and contain trash, which often leads to some of his funniest moments — guests staring in disbelief as the trash can they just used starts following them and asking questions.

Beloved by Millions

Over three decades, PUSH has helped with marriage proposals, served as a ring bearer at a wedding, danced with guests of all ages, and created countless spontaneous moments of pure joy.
