Description
xRubbermaid's 12.4-gallon Step-On Kitchen Trash Can is a hands-free, slow-close waste bin with LinerLock and a vented base for easier bag removal.
This sleek black trash container combines hygienic operation with durable construction for everyday kitchen use. A stainless-steel pedal opens the lid without touching it, while an engineered resin body resists scuffs and cleans easily. Designed and made in the USA, the can balances a contemporary look with practical features that keep bags in place and lids quiet.
How does the step-on mechanism make daily cleanup simpler?
The stainless-steel foot pedal raises the lid so you can dispose of waste without using your hands, which is useful when cooking or handling soiled items. The pedal is built to last and stays stable under normal household use.
- Durable stainless-steel pedal for reliable hands-free operation
- Pedal placement optimized for natural foot motion
- Stable base prevents tipping during use
Will the trash bag stay secured when the can is full?
LinerLock technology grips the bag along the rim so bags do not slip into the can, even with heavier loads. This reduces the need to readjust liners and helps maintain a cleaner interior.
- Integrated liner retention keeps standard kitchen bags in place
- Works with common 12–13 gallon bags for an easy fit
- Prevents bag slippage while maximizing usable capacity
Is the lid noisy when it closes and how is bag removal handled?
The lid uses a controlled slow-close mechanism that prevents abrupt slamming and helps reduce kitchen noise. Vents at the base ease air pressure when removing a full bag so bags slide out smoothly without sticking.
- Slow-close hinge reduces everyday lid noise
- Vented bottom minimizes suction when pulling out full bags
- Quiet operation makes it suitable for open-plan living areas
How durable and easy to maintain is this trash can?
Constructed from impact-resistant resin, the can resists dents and is simple to wipe clean. The matte black finish hides smudges, and the materials are chosen to stand up to frequent use in kitchens, apartments, and garages.
- Engineered resin body for long-lasting wear resistance
- Matte black surface is low-maintenance and cleans with a damp cloth
- Components designed and assembled in the USA for quality control
