mDesign Slim Metal Rectangular Trash Can 1.3 Gal (5 L) Matte Gray — Narrow, Soft-Close Pedal Bin

mDesign's slim rectangular 1.3 gallon (5 L) trash can is a compact, pedal-operated waste bin with a quiet soft-close lid and removable inner bucket for tidy, hands-free disposal.

This narrow metal garbage container is designed to fit where round cans won’t — next to sinks, inside cabinets, or in tight bathroom corners. Its matte gray finish gives a modern, low-profile look while the built-in step pedal keeps usage hygienic. The inner bucket lifts out for quick emptying and bag replacements, and the discreet back handle makes moving it effortless.

How does the pedal and lid operate without making noise?

The can uses a step-activated mechanism paired with an easy-close hinge so the lid rises and lowers smoothly. The motion is designed to minimize slamming and to keep smells contained. That makes it suitable for bedrooms and small living spaces where quiet is preferred.

• Quiet step pedal for hands-free opening
• Soft-close lid prevents abrupt slamming
• Sealed top reduces odors and visible waste

Is the inner bucket easy to remove and clean?

Yes — the trash can contains a removable liner bucket with a molded handle so you can lift it out without touching the outer shell. The liner’s rounded corners and smooth surface simplify rinsing or wiping. This design helps when swapping bags or doing a quick clean between uses.

• Removable inner bucket for quick emptying
• Molded handle for secure, sanitary carrying
• Simple surfaces allow fast hand or cloth cleaning

Will this slim bin fit under counters or inside cabinets?

The compact footprint—approximately 10" by 5.5" with an 11.5" height—was made specifically for narrow spaces. Its rectangular shape slides neatly into gaps where round cans can't sit flush. Keep the back carry handle accessible for pulling the bin out from tight spots.

• Dimensions: 10" W x 5.5" D x 11.5" H
• Rectangular profile for tight corners and cabinet storage
• Back handle aids removal from confined spaces

What rooms and routines is this trash can suited for?

With its 1.3 gallon (5 L) capacity and compact stature, the can fits high-traffic small rooms and light-waste zones. It’s a practical fit for bathrooms, home offices, dorm rooms, or beneath kitchen counters for peelings and small packaging. The matte gray finish blends with neutral decor while staying discreet in shared areas.

• Perfect for bathrooms, bedrooms, dorms, and offices
• Space-saving for under-sink or countertop placement
• Small capacity supports frequent, low-volume disposal
