simplehuman 40L Slim Kitchen Trash Can – Silent Close, Slide Lock, Grey

Maximize Kitchen Space

In compact kitchens, every inch matters. The simplehuman 40-liter Slim Kitchen Trash Can uses a narrow, space-saving silhouette that slides neatly between cabinets or against a wall, while still providing ample interior capacity for daily waste, snack wrappers, and leftovers.

Quiet, Controlled Closure

The patented lid shox mechanism delivers a smooth, whisper-quiet close, reducing disruptive noises during meal prep and cleanup. This thoughtful design helps maintain a calm kitchen environment, even on busy mornings.

Secure and Practical

A built-in slide lock keeps the lid securely shut when you want to deter pets or curious kids from exploring the trash. The sturdy steel pedal is built to withstand daily use and maintain performance over time.

Perfect Fit with Code K Liners

Designed to work with simplehuman Code K liners, this can minimizes liner bunching and slipping for a clean, tidy look. The liners are extra-thick with double seams to resist tears during routine tasks.
