EKO Hudson matte stainless 20-Gallon step trash can with rear bag storage, soft-close lid

The EKO Hudson Matte Stainless 20-gallon step trash can is a fingerprint-resistant stainless steel kitchen bin with a built-in rear compartment for extra 13-gallon bags, a durable foot pedal, and a soft-close lid.

Designed for busy households and active kitchens, this 75-liter (20-gallon) EKO Hudson trash can combines large capacity with practical storage and a refined matte stainless finish. It reduces the frequency of bag changes, conceals spare liners neatly, and provides reliable hands-free operation through a heavy-duty pedal and a bi-force damper that prevents loud slamming.

How does the rear bag storage make changing liners easier?

The Hudson’s integrated compartment stores a roll of 13-gallon trash bags inside the back panel for quick access and less cupboard clutter. Instead of digging through drawers or cabinets, you simply pull a bag from the compartment and fit it to the rim.

• Internal compartment sized for standard 13-gallon rolls
• Side access lets you pull and tear a bag without opening the lid
• Keeps spare liners hidden for a cleaner kitchen look

Will the stainless steel finish resist fingerprints and smudges?

The matte stainless construction is engineered to minimize visible fingerprints and streaks, so the can maintains a tidy, modern appearance with minimal upkeep. Routine wiping with a soft cloth keeps the exterior looking new.

• Matte finish reduces visible smudging compared with polished steel
• Wipes clean quickly with mild soap and water
• Durable for daily kitchen use

How durable is the pedal and lid mechanism for everyday use?

EKO built the Hudson with a reinforced steel pedal rated for over 200,000 uses and a bi-force damper that ensures a slow, quiet close. That combination provides hands-free access while protecting the lid and surrounding cabinetry from impact.

• Stainless steel foot pedal designed for long-term reliability
• Bi-force damper provides whisper-quiet opening and closing
• Robust hinge and internal construction for high-traffic kitchens

What capacity and placement options does this bin offer?

With a 20-gallon (75 L) capacity, the Hudson suits large households, meal-prep kitchens, or shared office spaces where waste accumulates quickly. The slim rectangular footprint fits against walls or under counters while offering generous internal volume.

• 20-gallon capacity reduces bag-change frequency
• Slim profile fits in kitchen corners or next to cabinets
• Rear storage keeps liners accessible without taking extra space

Who is this for? The EKO Hudson Matte Stainless 20-gallon step trash can is ideal for people who want a high-capacity kitchen bin with a neat, low-maintenance finish and convenient bag storage. It’s especially useful for larger families, those who prep food frequently, or anyone seeking a durable, hands-free waste solution that looks good in contemporary kitchens. If you need a sturdy pedal-operated can with quiet operation and a built-in place to keep spare liners, the Hudson balances performance and design without requiring additional storage space for bags.
