Amazon.com Product Description
Combining high-quality materials with an innovative design, this mini round step can takes the most common of household items to a new level. Made of durable stainless steel, the unit holds up to 1-3/5 gallons, while still being small enough to fit in tight spaces like under a desk or in a bathroom. To keep trash hidden and odors contained, the can features a lid that opens smoothly by simply stepping on the foot pedal. The pedal works using a teeter-totter mechanism; a solid steel beam that runs from the tip of the pedal to the back of the can ensures long-lasting performance. The can also provides a dent-proof plastic interior bucket that can be used with any trash bag. Remove the bucket by lifting up on the built-in side handles, then line it with a plastic bag, tucking any excess bag material into the hole in the back of the bucket to ensure a tight, secure fit with no unattractive bag overhang. With its sturdy non-skid base and modern look that will compliment any decor, the step can measures 9-4/5 by 8-2/5 by 13 inches (21 inches with the lid open) and carries a five-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

GREAT for kitchen compost
Our solid waste service now takes kitchen compost and yard waste from a single large bin, twice a month. Our house is some distance from the pickup location on the paved road. So I cast about looking for something that would be easy to clean, attractive and large enough to hold a few days' worth of kitchen scraps before we carry them out to the roadside bin for later pickup.

This 3 gallon simplehuman can seems to do the trick. We keep it just outside the kitchen door and dump our compostable kitchen scraps at the end of each meal. The stainless steel will handle the weather. The pedal operated flip up lid makes it easy to use. The lid closes securely to keep out the rain, neighborhood pets and thus far our resident racoons. The removable black plastic liner is a cinch to clean. There are also biodegradable bags that fit this can, which you can fill and then put directly into a compost bin -- they're apparently made with cornstarch and break down as the composting progresses.

One quibble -- some of the simplehuman cans have a pneumatic or spring loaded mechanism that lowers the top slowly when you take your foot off the pedal. On this one, the top just clunks shut.

All in all, it's definitely worth the fifty bucks. Good design, well made, serves our purpose as well as anything we've seen.

This size fills up quickly
I use this for tissues in my bedroom so I don't mind the small size. It was the cheapest one at Target. I am the only one who likes it because I only use it for tissues. Get a bigger one if your needs are bigger than for tissues.

Good, small garbage can
This is a small garbage can that has a removable liner. It also fits the plastic bags you get at all the stores now, but it is small. It came well packaged and quickly. Cooking.com is a good website and excellent company. I've gotten a few things from them and never have a problem.
