## Description

Product Description simplehuman's slim plastic step can has a space-efficient shape that fits perfectly in tight spaces, like between cabinets. The strong steel pedal is designed to last, and the patented lid shox technology ensures a smooth, silent close every time. A slide lock helps keep trash in and pets and curious children out. The code K liner fits this can perfectly — no bunching or slipping for a cleaner trash experience. Brand Story We design tools that help people become more efficient at home. Day to day life has room for improvement. That's the basic thinking behind simplehuman. Many activities in our daily routine are so basic that we take them for granted.

We call our products tools for efficient living.

Review: Great quality / good design - Looks and works great! I thought I needed to keep buying “special” bags, but the regular 13 gallons fit well. The lid opens easily. I changed from a stainless steel bin to this one (plastic), and it was the best decision. So easy to clean and the gray tone matches my stainless appliances. Its shape is perfect as it holds the 13 gallon bag, but without being bulky. The wheels make it easy to move around.
Review: Great, slim & isn’t picky about bags used - Perfect for our needs. Slim, easy to use, functional. You can open the lid either by lifting it up or by using the step. It’s quiet. Regular 13 gallon trash bags work.
