simplehuman 50L Semi-Round Kitchen Step Trash Can with Slide Lock – Mocha Plastic

Smart, quiet, and sturdy — designed for busy kitchens

The simplehuman 50 Liter / 13 Gallon Semi-Round Kitchen Step Trash Can blends practical capacity with thoughtful design. Crafted in a mocha plastic finish, it balances a compact footprint with ample space for daily waste, helping to keep your kitchen tidy without fuss. The lid uses proprietary lid shox technology to glide shut with a soft, controlled motion, so evenings and late-night tidy-ups stay peaceful rather than noisy. A slide lock adds a layer of security to help keep curious pets and young children from reaching the contents, especially during peak meal-prep times.

Why it stands out in real life

Everyday use benefits from a steel pedal that provides a durable, responsive step every time you pitch something away. The integrated handle makes transporting the can between rooms or repositioning within a kitchen alcove quick and easy. The semi-round shape is designed to fit into tight corners and high-traffic areas, so you can maintain a clean look even in smaller spaces. When not in use, the can maintains a sleek profile that blends with modern kitchens, while the mocha plastic color offers a warm, versatile look that hides fingerprints and smudges between cleanings.
