Broken trash can

We have a trash can where you step on the pedal and the lid opens. Since in our apartment, the trash can had to be out in the kitchen, we wanted one the cats wouldn't be able to get in. Well, last night I stepped on the pedal and I heard a click and it just dropped. I lifted the lid and the pedal wouldn't move along with it. I looked (and should have done more analysis) but tried to "pop" it back up in to place. Well, I "popped" it right off. Jeni tried to superglue it back on, but this morning it snapped right back off. So now it's just a lift-top lid, but it's still nice. I guess we can add trash can to our adult Christmas list.
