Narrative:
I very infrequently fly a position; had an unaccompanied minor that was going to be a through passenger. Also concern with weather. Our flight attendant-C had come through picking up disinfectant wipes from customers; and I had both doors. Due to covid; flight attendant-C was in first row for social distancing; thus only one set of eyes double checking all secure galley. Upon takeoff the trash door came open; but the trash bin did not move from stowage location. As soon as it was safe I secured the door; with no event occurring. Basically human error.
