Description
xThe simplehuman 40 L dual-compartment butterfly-lid step can organizes trash and recycling in one slim, durable stainless steel unit with a quiet, stay-open lid.
This kitchen recycling step can combines two interior buckets in a narrow footprint so you can sort waste and recyclables without sacrificing counter or floor space. The center-opening butterfly lid clears low cabinets, while a reinforced steel pedal and patented LidShox mechanism deliver long-lasting, quiet performance. A fingerprint-proof brushed stainless finish and custom-fit code D liners keep the exterior neat and the interior easy to maintain.
How does the butterfly lid make this can fit under low countertops?
The split butterfly lid opens upward from the center, creating extra clearance compared with one-piece lids. Each half rises in a compact arc so the top requires less vertical space to operate, which is helpful under shallow counters or sinks. The lid also stays open when you need it to for extended tasks.
- Center-split door reduces lid swing height
- Stays open for longer chores without holding it
- LidShox soft-close prevents abrupt slams
What makes sorting recyclables and trash simple with this can?
Two separate inner buckets let you collect recyclables and trash in one compact unit, so sorting happens at the source. The buckets are removable for emptying and cleaning, and the slim shape fits flush against counters to minimize wasted floor space. A bucket-park feature holds the inner bucket at an angle for easier bag changes.
- Dual buckets for simultaneous waste streams
- Removable buckets lift out for cleaning
- Bucket park position simplifies liner changes
How durable and quiet is the step pedal and lid system?
The pedal is built from reinforced steel and engineered to withstand heavy use over many years, while the LidShox mechanism controls lid motion for a slow, silent close. This combination reduces wear and keeps operation smooth even in busy kitchens. The lid also locks open when needed, so it stays put during extended use.
- Strong steel pedal rated for long lifespans
- Patented LidShox for whisper-quiet closing
- Stay-open lid for convenience during tasks
