## 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 our 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. Washing our hands, cleaning up after a meal, grooming and prepping our appearance. Through innovation and new technologies, we find ways to streamline these simple tasks. 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: Space saving workhorse - Truth be told, what I truly desire in the deepest corner of my heart is SimpleHuman's stainless steel butterfly step trash can, but I just could not justify (to my bank account) spending $160 on a trash can. Alas, I went with the plastic slim step-child, and although it lacks the diva flair of the butterfly, it's a sturdy little workhorse that provides maximum capacity in a very slim size. I have a galley kitchen with a narrow floor to ceiling window at one end in lieu of a wall. It provides nice lighting but isn't a good place for the garbage can, so I needed something that can fit under a sink cabinet or sit against the end of the counters and still be narrow enough not to block the entry way too much. This garbage can fits the bill nicely. The stepping mechanism feels sturdy even when the can is empty, with no wobble to it, and the top stays open if you lift it up by hand to 90 degrees, which is nice when I'm dumping scraps off of the counter into the can. The mouth of it is fairly wide and square, so larger items are easily disposed (fits gallon milk containers easily). It shuts slowly and quietly, no splattering, and seals nicely. The wheels make it easy to move it around. Locking feature is a nice touch to deter small children and pets from getting into the trash. I use regular trash liners (Glad ForceFlex Tall Kitchen 13 Gallon Trash Bag with drawstrings) rather than the SimpleHuman specific ones, and the drawstring part stretches just enough to slip over the lip of the can and the bag fits very snugly around the rim so that you don't get debris accidentally falling outside of the trash bag. I imagine this little workhorse will remain in our kitchen for a long time, even if we move to a bigger place. Unless I win the lottery and can afford the stainless steel butterfly step can.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, slim & isn’t picky about bags used
*by C***J on December 6, 2025*

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.
