simplehuman 40L Slim Kitchen Trash Can with Secure Slide Lock — Quiet, Space-Saving Black

Efficient, space-saving design for compact kitchens

The simplehuman 40L Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can is built to fit where space is at a premium. Its narrow, space-saving silhouette slides cleanly between cabinets or against a wall, freeing up valuable counter and floor real estate while keeping waste out of sight.

Fabricated with a sturdy steel pedal and durable black plastic, this can is designed for daily reuse. When you step on the pedal, lid Shox technology guides a slow, quiet close, so the lid hums shut without a loud slam—ideal for early mornings and late nights alike.

Secure, pet-friendly design for real homes

A slide lock keeps the lid shut when you want extra security, helping deter curious pets and little helpers from exploring the bin. The lid can also stay open for longer tasks, making kitchen cleanup and meal prep more convenient.

Fit and liner compatibility

The can's code K liners are engineered to fit perfectly, reducing bunching and slip. The inner liner is extra-thick with a double-seam construction to resist rips even with frequent use, so your trash experience stays clean and tidy.

The stay-open lid feature is handy when you’re chopping vegetables or cleaning, reducing interruptions and repeated motion.
