Rubbermaid Stainless Steel Round Step-On Trash Can, 1.6-Gallon Charcoal — Compact, Slow-Close Lid

The Rubbermaid 1.6-Gallon Charcoal Stainless Steel Round Step-On Trash Can is a compact, hands-free wastebasket with a slow-close lid and removable liner designed for bathrooms, offices, and tight spaces.

This small-footprint trash can blends a dark charcoal stainless-steel finish with practical features built for everyday use. It gives you hygienic, pedal-operated access, a quiet lid that eases closed, and an internal removable liner that simplifies bag changes and cleaning. The muted finish minimizes visible fingerprints and keeps the unit looking tidy with minimal upkeep.

How does the step-on pedal improve hygiene and convenience?

The sturdy foot pedal lets you open the lid without touching the top, reducing contact with the bin surface. It’s engineered for repeated daily use so you can step and release smoothly. That hands-free action is especially useful when your hands are full or need to stay clean.

• Durable charcoal stainless-steel pedal built for regular use
• Hands-free disposal reduces surface contact and mess
• Compact shape fits where larger cans won’t

Will the lid make a lot of noise when it closes?

No — the lid includes a slow-close mechanism that eases it down quietly and prevents slamming. That feature helps keep bathrooms, bedrooms, and shared spaces calmer. The controlled motion also reduces sudden jolts that can dislodge liners.

• Soft-close design reduces loud slams and sudden movement
• Gently lowers to protect liners and nearby items
• Ideal for spaces where quiet operation matters

How easy is it to swap bags and clean this wastebasket?

The interior removable liner lifts out for straightforward bag changes and wipes. A built-in bag cinch secures standard liners to the liner rim so they don’t slip when you remove waste. Wiping the charcoal finish is quick because it hides smudges and fingerprints better than bright metal.

• Removable inner liner for easy emptying and cleaning
• Bag cinch keeps standard liners anchored in place
• Charcoal finish reduces visible fingerprints and marks
