Rubbermaid 19 Gallon Step-On Trash Can — Charcoal with Stainless‑Steel Rim, LinerLock & Quiet Close

The Rubbermaid Premier 19 Gallon Step‑On Trash Can is a high‑capacity, hands‑free waste and recycling container with a quiet close lid, liner‑hiding rim, and optional dual compartments for easy sorting.

This charcoal step‑on can upgrades kitchen or office waste management with more holding power than a standard 13‑gallon bin while maintaining a modern, fingerprint‑resistant finish. Built with an integrated LinerLock, a stainless‑steel rim and pedal, and a slow‑close lid, it combines everyday durability with a streamlined look that keeps liners out of sight and reduces trips to the curb.

How much more trash does the 19 gallon size hold compared to a 13 gallon can?

The 19 gallon capacity stores roughly 50% more waste than a 13 gallon container, which cuts down on how often you need to empty the bin. Its larger interior also accepts different bag setups for flexibility in sorting.

• Holds one 30 gallon bag or two 13–20 gallon bags for dual‑stream use.
• Fewer weekly disposals—useful for busy households or shared spaces.
• Taller profile fits beneath many countertops while increasing volume.

What features make this can easy and hygienic to use?

The step‑on pedal provides hands‑free access, reducing contact with the lid, and the slow‑close mechanism keeps operation quiet and controlled. The integrated LinerLock secures liners so they don’t slip, while the stainless‑steel coating resists fingerprints for a cleaner appearance between cleanings.

• Durable stainless‑steel pedal enables hands‑free opening.
• Quiet, soft‑closing lid prevents loud slams and sudden jolts.
• Built‑in LinerLock hides and secures bags to avoid bunching or sliding.

Can this be used for recycling and trash at the same time?

Yes — the interior design supports single or dual bag setups, so you can dedicate one side to recyclables and one to trash when needed. The option to run two separate liners makes sorting quick and convenient without adding an extra bulky bin.

• Use one large liner for general waste or two medium liners for separation.
• Switch between single and dual configurations depending on the task.
• Concealed rim keeps liners tidy for a neater kitchen presentation.

How durable and stable is this can for daily household use?

Rubbermaid designed this model with a flared anti‑slide base and a stainless‑steel pedal to withstand frequent use while resisting movement. The materials and construction provide reliable performance in kitchens, garages, offices, and apartments.

• Flared base helps prevent tipping and skidding on smooth floors.
• Stainless‑steel rim hides liners and adds structural strength.
• Made in the USA — assembled in Winchester, VA for consistent quality.

Who is this for? The Rubbermaid Premier 19 Gallon Step‑On Trash Can suits households, small offices, and apartment kitchens that want more capacity than a standard 13‑gallon bin without sacrificing a sleek look. It’s a good choice for people who prefer hands‑free operation, need occasional dual‑stream sorting, and value a quiet, low‑maintenance solution that keeps liner bags concealed and secure.
