1. A trash can assembly, comprising: a shell having an upper, open end;a lid configured to cover the upper, open end of the shell;a hinge assembly coupled to the shell and the lid, configured to permit selective removal of the lid, and configured to provide pivotable movement of the lid between an open position and a closed position, wherein the hinge assembly comprises,a mounting bracket provided on the lid and having at least one through hole,a housing provided at the upper end of the shell and defining a bore, anda removable pivot bar that is received inside the at least one through hole and the bore to allow pivotable movement of the mounting bracket relative to the housing, and engaged by a locking mechanism into a position within mounting bracket and housing to prevent withdrawal of the removable pivot bar from inside the at least one through hole and the bore, and wherein the pivot bar is removable through either side of the bore based on exertion of force to release engagement of the locking mechanism. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the shell is oval. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the shell is circular. 4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the shell is multi-sided. 5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the locking mechanism is a locking bolt that extends through a portion of the mounting bracket and wherein the mounting bracket includes a transverse bore through which the locking bolt is extended. 6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the shell is at least partially constructed from a metal. 7. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the shell is at least partially constructed from a plastic. 8. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the lid is at least partially constructed from a metal. 9. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the lid is at least partially constructed from a plastic. 10. The assembly of claim 1 further comprising a pedal pivotably coupled to a base of the shell and coupled to the hinge assembly. 11. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the pedal is at least partially constructed from a metal. 12. The assembly of claim 10, wherein the pedal is at least partially constructed from a plastic.
