simplehuman 45L Semi-Round Hands-Free Step Trash Can - Brushed Stainless

Overview

The simplehuman 45L semi-round hands-free step trash can in brushed stainless is designed to fit neatly against a wall thanks to its flat back. Its generous capacity is ideal for busy kitchens, entryways, or shared spaces, letting you handle waste with minimal disruption. The lid action and sturdy base combine to create a calm, organized waste station that feels built to last.

Inside, the liner rim flips up for easy bag changes, then folds over to grip the bag securely and keep it hidden from sight. A strong steel pedal is engineered for long, reliable use, while lid shox technology delivers a smooth, silent close every time. This combination of form and function helps maintain a clean, distraction-free environment.
