[0039] It can be understood that, when the operator needs to put a garbage bag into the barrel 1 or take a garbage bag out of the barrel 1, and because the garbage can is too high to be operated by the operator, the operator can rotate the support piece 72 to rotate the support piece 72 away from the barrel 1, and rotate to contact with the baffle 75. Then, the barrel 1 is tilted, the support piece 72 is in contact with the ground to support the tilted barrel 1. At this time, the operator can put a garbage bag into the barrel 1 or take a garbage bag out of the barrel 1. After the garbage bag is taken out or put in, the operator can push the tilted barrel 1 to be vertical, and then reset the support piece 72.

[0040] When the support assembly 7 comprises two or more, the rotation shafts 73 of adjacent support assemblies 7 are connected to each other by a connecting rod 74.

[0041] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the support assembly 7 is provided with two, which can be appropriately increased or reduced in other embodiments. When the operator rotates the support 72, the support 72 will drive the rotation shaft 73 thereon to rotate, and the rotation of the rotation shaft 73 will drive the connecting rod 74 to rotate, thereby causing the rotation shaft 73 of the other support assembly 7 to rotate. Thus, when one support 72 is rotated, all supports 72 will rotate synchronously.
