What features make disposal and cleaning simple?

The step pedal opens the lid hands-free so you can add waste quickly and hygienically. Inside sits a removable liner bucket with a metal handle for fast dumping and easy rinsing; the plastic liner resists shattering for long-term use.

Will the lid contain odors and look tidy?

• Sealed lid design reduces visible trash and direct odors
• Soft-close action for quieter rooms
• Stylish finish matches contemporary and transitional decor

Can this trash can be used beyond the kitchen or bathroom?
