mDesign Dual Compartment Step Trash Can 16 Gallon (Bronze) – Hands-Free Pedal, Two 30L Removable Buckets

The mDesign Metal Steel 60-Liter (16 gal) dual-compartment step trash can is a hands-free, space-saving double bin that separates trash and recyclables with two removable liner buckets.

This attractive bronze-finish waste container combines a polished, domed stainless steel lid with a two-tone exterior to bring a modern, organized look to kitchens, utility rooms, or office spaces. Built for everyday use, the pedal-operated lids let you open either compartment without touching the can, while the two internal buckets make sorting and emptying simple. The overall footprint is compact enough for busy homes yet large enough to hold 60 liters (16 gallons) total — 30 liters per side.

How does the dual compartment design simplify recycling and trash sorting?

The split interior provides two separate 30-liter bins so you can keep recyclables and waste divided in one consolidated unit. Each bucket lifts out independently using a metal handle for quick transfer to your curb bin or recycling center. This eliminates the need for two separate cans and keeps sorting contained and tidy.

• Two 30-L removable plastic liner buckets with metal handles
• One-step pedal access opens lids hands-free
• Consolidated footprint saves floor space compared to two cans

Is the step mechanism durable and easy to use during meal prep?

The step pedal provides reliable, hands-free operation so you can dispose of waste with wet or full hands. The mechanism is designed for regular foot use and keeps lids closed to control odors and maintain a neat appearance. Its low-profile step is positioned for comfortable access while standing at a counter.

• Pedal-operated lids for hygienic, hands-free use
• Domed stainless steel lid for a tight, clean closure
• Low step height for effortless activation while cooking

What materials and cleaning steps should I expect for long-term care?

The exterior body is made of sturdy steel with a protective finish, while the inner buckets are durable plastic that resists moisture and staining. Wiping the outside with a damp cloth keeps the finish looking new; the plastic liners can be removed and rinsed with mild soap and water when needed. The metal handles on the liners simplify emptying and reduce mess during disposal.

• Steel exterior with durable bronze-toned finish
• Removable plastic inner buckets rinse clean easily
• Spot-clean exterior; rinse liners with mild soap and water
