simplehuman 50L Rectangular Step Trash Can — Brushed Stainless, LidShox Silent-Close & Removable Inner Bucket

The simplehuman 50 Liter rectangular step trash can is a space-saving, durable stainless steel kitchen bin with a silent-closing lid and a secure fit for code Q liners.

This rectangular step can is built to sit flush against a wall while delivering long-lasting performance and a tidy appearance. Engineered details—like a reinforced steel pedal, internal hinge, and our patented Lid Shox damper—combine with a removable inner bucket and built-in wheels to make daily trash duty smoother and cleaner. The brushed stainless finish resists fingerprints so the can keeps its polished look with minimal maintenance.

How does the design save space and stay neat in a busy kitchen?

The rectangular profile lets you push the can up against cabinets or walls to reclaim floor space. An internal hinge means the lid doesn't protrude behind the can, and the non-skid base keeps it stable during use.

• Rectangular shape fits tightly against walls and counters
• Internal hinge prevents lid interference with walls
• Non-skid rubber pads protect floors and stop sliding
• Brushed stainless finish hides smudges and cleans easily

What makes the lid quiet and reliable over time?

The patented Lid Shox technology gently controls the lid's motion so it closes slowly and silently. Combined with a steel pedal rated for over 150,000 steps, this can is engineered for repeated daily use without noisy banging or premature failure.

• Lid Shox damper enables smooth, whisper-quiet closing
• Strong steel pedal tested to last more than 150,000 presses
• Stay-open lid option for longer chores or when hands are full
• Durable hinge hardware resists wear and wobble

How do liners, the inner bucket, and wheels simplify trash changes?

simplehuman's code Q liners are sized to fit snugly so they don't bunch or spill inside the can. The removable inner bucket lifts out and parks in a tilted position for hands-free bag changes, and built-in wheels let you roll the 50L can when cleaning or repositioning.

• Code Q liners prevent slipping and hide the bag rim
• Inner bucket lifts out and rests on the bucket park for easy removal
• Built-in wheels allow smooth movement for cleaning or relocation
• Extra-thick liner construction reduces rips and leaks

How does the finish and base protect my floors and keep the can looking good?

The brushed stainless surface is fingerprint-proof to minimize visible marks, while rubber non-skid pads on the base protect flooring and keep the can steady. The result is a low-maintenance bin that remains attractive in active spaces.

• Fingerprint-proof brushed stainless resists smudges
• Rubber pads cushion floors and stop sliding
• Stainless surface wipes clean with a soft cloth
• Removable bucket simplifies interior cleaning and deodorizing

Who is this for: Home cooks, busy households, and anyone who wants a reliable, low-profile trash solution that looks and performs well. The 50L capacity suits medium-to-large kitchens, and features like the quiet Lid Shox, long-life steel pedal, and easy bag changes make it a practical pick for people who value durability, neatness, and convenience.
