Description
xThe Kohler 23826-ST is a slim, 13‑gallon stainless steel step trash can with dual 5.5‑gallon compartments and a quiet bifold lid designed to separate waste and recyclables in tight spaces.
Engineered for smaller kitchens, bathrooms, or utility areas, this Kohler step can combines a narrow footprint with practical features that simplify daily waste handling. Its fingerprint‑resistant stainless steel finish, metal foot pedal, and removable liners make the bin both attractive and easy to maintain. The bifold lid folds back without hitting cabinets, and the unit’s raised liner and rotating locking rim speed up bag changes while keeping the interior tidy.
How does the bifold lid improve use in tight spaces?
The bifold lid is designed to open by sliding upward and folding so it won’t protrude outward into walkways or cabinets. It tents at the rear as it opens, then flattens when closing, minimizing clearance needs and protecting surrounding surfaces from scuffs.
- Folds back rather than swinging outward—fits flush against walls
- Quiet‑close action reduces slamming and noise
- Hinge design prevents cabinet dents or floor scuffs
- Lock option secures lid during bag changes or transport
What makes separating trash and recyclables simple with this bin?
The interior holds two 5.5‑gallon liners inside a single 13‑gallon frame, so you can keep recyclables and trash in one compact unit. Each liner is removable for quick emptying, and the rotating rim keeps bags secure and neatly tucked away.
- Dual compartments: two 5.5‑gallon liners totaling 13 gallons
- Raised liner design eases lifting and carrying to curbside cans
- Rotating locking rim keeps liners in place without tape
- Compatible with standard kitchen bags for convenience
How easy is cleaning and maintenance?
Keeping the Kohler 23826‑ST clean is straightforward: the removable plastic liners wipe down quickly, and the stainless steel exterior resists fingerprints. For most routine cleaning, a microfiber cloth and mild cleaner restore the finish and keep the unit looking new.
- Removable liners lift out for rinsing or wiping
- Fingerprint‑resistant stainless steel reduces visible smudges
- Simple hinge and pedal construction minimizes trapped dirt
- Use a microfiber cloth and mild detergent for best results
Why choose this Kohler step can over a standard round bin?
The rectangular, slim profile fits where round cans won’t, allowing placement against walls, under counters, or beside cabinets without losing capacity. The metal foot pedal and quiet‑close bifold lid provide hands‑free, low‑noise operation, while Kohler styling blends with modern décor.
- Rectangular shape maximizes usable capacity in narrow spaces
- Durable metal pedal for reliable hands‑free use
- Fingerprint‑resistant finish keeps it looking clean longer
- Design pairs utility with contemporary aesthetics
