the trash can fell to the floor, would you please help set it upright"?

Dear teachers,

One day I found the trash can "lying" on the floor. I wanted my son's help. I know this is probably not correct, could you help me check:

"The trash can fell on the floor. Could you please set it upright"?

Thanks!
Harriet

'The trash can fell over. Could you please set it upright?'

In BrE, "The rubbish bin has fallen over. Can you pick it up/stand it up please?"

Hi, Harriet! You don't want quotation marks around lying, either.
