## Description

simplehuman's stainless steel rectangular step can features an innovative 'liner pocket' that stores and dispenses liners from inside the can for a faster liner change. The stainless steel liner rim grips the liner and keeps it hidden. And with no inner bucket, there's more space for trash. Strong plastic pedal is designed to last, and with the patented lid shox technology ensures a smooth, silent close of the dent-proof plastic lid every time. Code M liner refill packs store perfectly in this can's liner pocket.

Review: Excellent trash can - This is an excellent garbage can. I used to buy the cans with the motion sensor but they were constantly breaking. Going back to old school step can was the way to go. This can is built to last. It’s also nice looking and looks great in my kitchen.
Review: ECELLENT! Worth every penny! Bags are great, too! - After over 7 years and having saved my life, the last Simple Human kitchen trash can needed to be replaced. We LOVE the dispenser for the bags and this can is even better than the last one! The bags fit snuggly and are heavy duty. We could not be more pleased. (YES! The old can saved my life. The distance between our refrigerator and the wall across from it is 5 ft. I slipped on a very slippery waxed floor in socked feet and fell looking at the refrigerator with my back to the wall where we had the trash can. Had the can not been there, and broken my fall, my neck would surely have snapped when I landed. I took the dents out and we kept that trash can for years until the lid opening mechanism finally broke.)

## Features

- NEAT AND SECURE - Stainless steel liner rim flips up for a quick and easy liner change, then closes over the liner to hold it tightly in place and keep it hidden from sight.
- LINER POCKET - Keep liners where you need them. Dispense them one by one — no perforations or unraveling — from inside the can for a faster liner change.
- STRONG STEEL PEDAL - simplehuman's strong steel pedal is engineered to last over 150,000 steps — that's more than 20 steps a day for 20 years.
- SILENT CLOSE LID - simplehuman's patented lid shox technology controls the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close.
- DENT-PROOF PLASTIC LID - Won't show dirt or fingerprints.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent trash can
*by L***E on April 26, 2026*

This is an excellent garbage can. I used to buy the cans with the motion sensor but they were constantly breaking. Going back to old school step can was the way to go. This can is built to last. It’s also nice looking and looks great in my kitchen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ECELLENT! Worth every penny! Bags are great, too!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It really is a Simple Human
*by J***U on April 30, 2021*

Amazing can! It’s ridiculous how excited people get about trash cans now and how willing we are - myself included - to shell out over $100 just to throw out what we don’t want! Yet, we do and we are :) My wife and I LOVE this trash can. The rectangular shape with curved edges around the top lip of the can REALLY adds a lot more room than our previous Simple Human can, without adding much extra floor space in our kitchen at all. In fact, it added maybe a little over 2” in width, and less than 1” in depth from our previous 40L can. Again though, amazingly, these slight differences do make up for the extra 5L we get in this can. I love the fact there is a “double-lid,” the top of which is used to clamp on top of the rim of the garbage can opening after you place the trash bag inside the bin. I LOVE this feature and it keeps the bag always nice and neatly aligned without snagging, getting a side pulled down inside of itself accidentally, etc. The trash bag compartment accessible both on the backside and interior of the can to pull a new bag is icing on the cake and makes changing out trash bags WAY easier. This process in our old Simple Human used to be much more difficult and messy at time. And even when full, I don’t get the horrible air vacuum suction effect when trying to pull the bag up and get it out of the can. This would happen frequently with my old can and it became a pain in the butt and took a lot of strength to pull a full bag out. Not so with this one! No motion-activated lid which I actually like a lot. Motion sensors often break after a whole, then you have a half-working can. So J like this is purely manual. AND kudos to Simple Human realizing a matte finish lid is much better than a stainless steel lid which always shows fingerprints and yucky stuff constantly. Love the matte gray on this so it hides imperfections and doesn’t stain with fingerprints. A+! Last thing is, though the step to open is on the front perimeter of the can, my wife and I set this up so that the top lid faces sideways. The only place we could fit this was on the left of our kitchen island. And even stepping on this from the side I don’t feel any difference nor encumbrance doing so. Works great. All in all, five stars. Couldn’t be happier. So weird I’m rating a trash can but it’s great!
