Kohler 13-Gallon Touchless Trash Can – Black Stainless, Motion-Sensor Lid & Removable Liner

The Kohler 13-gallon touchless trash can (K-23825-BST) is a hands-free, fingerprint-resistant stainless steel bin with a motion-sensor lid and removable liner for cleaner, easier waste handling.

This rectangular, space-saving trash can blends practical sensors and thoughtful mechanics to reduce contact with germs while fitting neatly against walls or cabinets. The black stainless finish resists fingerprints and keeps surfaces looking tidy, while the removable inner liner makes bag changes and cleaning straightforward. A USB-rechargeable battery system powers the motion sensor and lid, and simple push-button controls let you keep the lid open or close it gently when needed.

How does the motion sensor improve daily use?

The built-in infrared sensor opens the lid when it detects motion, so you don’t have to touch the can during disposal—useful when your hands are full or messy. The response is quick and designed to reduce repeated contact with the lid and rim.

• Wave-to-open motion sensor for contact-free disposal
• Adjustable timing that responds quickly to nearby motion
• Quiet-close lid reduces slamming and noise in busy kitchens

What convenience features make bag changes and cleaning easier?

The trash can includes a removable liner bin and rim that let you lift out a full bag without wrestling the whole can. The rectangular shape and integrated hinge allow the unit to sit close to walls, avoiding awkward gaps while still providing full access to the liner for simple swapping and wiping.

• Removable inner bucket for fast bag changes
• Fits standard 13-gallon trash bags from any brand
• Fingerprint-resistant stainless finish wipes clean with a microfiber cloth

Can I control the lid manually and how does the battery work?

A pair of push buttons give you manual options: one to keep the lid open for continuous use and another to gently force the lid closed. The sensor and lid mechanism are powered by an internal rechargeable battery supplied with a USB charging cable for simple recharges.

• Stay-open button for extended tasks like prep or cleaning
• Force-close button for quieter, immediate closing
• USB charging cable included for convenient recharging

Where does this trash can fit best in a home or office?

Its slim rectangular profile is designed to tuck against walls or under counters without sacrificing capacity. The contemporary black stainless finish complements modern kitchens, bathrooms, and small office spaces while offering practical features for busy households.

• Slim footprint for tight spaces, corners, and between cabinets
• 13-gallon capacity suits medium to large households
• Durable construction for frequent daily use
