simplehuman

Why we love it

Neat liner management.
Convenient liner dispensing.
Durable steel pedal.

Main Highlights

neat and secure: Stainless steel liner rim flips up for a quick and easy liner change, then closes over the liner to hold it tightly in place and keep it hidden from sight.
liner pocket: Keep liners where you need them. Dispense them one by one – no perforations or unravelling – from inside the bin for a faster liner change.
strong wide steel pedal: Our extra-wide steel pedal is engineered to last 150,000 steps – that's more than 20 steps a day for 20 years.
silent, soft close lid: Our patented lid shox technology controls the motion of the lid for a slow, silent and soft close.
optional compost caddy: Add our compost caddy (sold separately, optional) to your waste-sorting routine — it conveniently docks on the side of this bin encouraging you to separate organics from general waste, making waste management even more efficient.
