Pukomc Smart Sensor Wastebasket — 2.6‑Gallon Motion-Activated Trash Can, Auto-Close Infrared Lid

This lightweight, Nordic-inspired bin blends simple styling with an infrared sensor lid that opens automatically when it detects motion and closes after a short pause. Sized for countertops, bathrooms, RVs and small kitchens, the Pukomc wastebasket keeps hands and surfaces cleaner by minimizing contact and containing odor with a snug lid. It runs on two AA batteries (not included) and accepts small garbage or compost collections like peels, coffee grounds and paper scraps.

How does the motion sensor work and how long does the lid stay open?

The infrared sensor detects movement near the rim and lifts the lid without touching. When motion stops, the lid closes automatically after about five seconds, helping reduce smells and remain discreet in busy areas.

• Infrared motion detection for hands-free opening
• Auto-close after approximately 5 seconds with no movement
• Battery powered: requires 2 AA batteries (not included)
• Sensor range ideal for quick access at counters or sinks

What size is the bin and where does it fit best?

The Pukomc bin measures roughly 8" by 8" by 16.3" and holds about 2.6 gallons — compact enough for countertops or small floor spaces. It works well in bathrooms, laundry rooms, RVs, dorms and small kitchens where full-size cans would be cumbersome.

• Dimensions: 8" L × 8" W × 16.3" H for tight spaces
• Capacity: 2.6 gallons, suitable for small daily waste
• Lightweight ABS construction for easy moving
• Clean-lined Nordic aesthetic that doubles as decor

Is the Pukomc sensor can easy to maintain and use daily?

Yes. Setup only requires installing two AA batteries and fitting a small trash bag inside the rim. Periodic wipe-downs of the lid and sensor keep it responsive; contact Pukomc support if you encounter setup or sensor issues.

• Battery operation avoids cords and allows flexible placement
• Wide rim accommodates reusable or disposable bags
• Simple wipe-clean ABS surface resists stains and moisture
• Customer support available for installation help

Can this be used for kitchen scraps or compostable waste?

This can serve as a small kitchen compost or food-scrap bin thanks to the lid that contains odors and pests while remaining easy to open with messy hands. It’s ideal for collecting peels, coffee grounds and other short-term compostable scraps before transferring them to a larger container.

• Hands-free operation prevents cross-contamination when preparing food
• Snug lid helps contain smells between collections
• Sized for countertop use during meal prep
• Works well with small compost liners or reusable bags

Who is this for? The Pukomc Smart Sensor Wastebasket suits anyone wanting a tidy, low-contact trash solution in limited spaces: busy home cooks who need a hygienic countertop bin, bathroom users who prefer touchless lids, RV and tiny-home dwellers saving floor area, and design-minded owners who want functional items that look tidy. If you need a small, battery-powered, motion-activated can with an unobtrusive Scandinavian look, this model offers a practical balance of convenience and compact design.
