simplehuman 6L Compact Round Step Trash Can — Black, Removable Inner Bucket & Steel Pedal

The simplehuman 6 liter (1.6 gallon) compact round step trash can is a small, durable bathroom can with a smooth steel pedal and removable inner bucket for easy emptying and cleaning.

Designed for tight corners and small rooms, this compact black step can offers a space-saving solution without sacrificing durability. The can pairs with simplehuman Code C custom-fit liners and includes a removable inner bucket so you can dump and rinse waste quickly. Built from resilient plastic and backed by a five-year warranty, it’s intended for daily bathroom or office use where footprint and convenience matter.

How does the pedal mechanism perform for everyday use?

The pedal uses a reinforced steel linkage that opens the lid smoothly with minimal effort, helping you keep hands free and avoid touching the lid. It’s engineered for frequent use so it maintains a consistent motion over time.

• Strong steel pedal resists bending and wear
• Quiet, controlled lid movement to reduce clatter
• Compact step geometry fits limited floor space

What makes the removable inner bucket useful?

The inner bucket lifts out cleanly so you can empty trash without tipping the entire can, and its smooth plastic interior rinses out easily to prevent trapped debris. If the bucket becomes stained or damaged, simplehuman sells replacement buckets so you don’t need to replace the whole unit.

• Removable for quick dumping and rinsing
• Smooth interior reduces residue buildup
• Replacement bucket available separately to extend product life

Which liners fit best and how do they help?

Code C custom-fit liners are sized specifically for this 6L can, reducing excess bag material and preventing slipping or bunching around the rim. These thicker, double-seamed bags are designed to stay put and make changing liners faster and tidier.

• Custom-fit Code C liners prevent bag overhang
• Extra-thick construction resists ripping and leaks
• Double-seamed to reduce splitting at seams

Is this can durable enough for bathroom conditions?

The body is molded from sturdy black plastic that resists dents, fingerprints, and the occasional splash, making it suited for humid environments like bathrooms. The unit’s components are created to withstand regular use and are supported by a five-year warranty from simplehuman.

• Dent- and fingerprint-resistant plastic finish
• Corrosion-resistant pedal hardware for humid rooms
• Five-year warranty for added peace of mind

Who this is for: This compact step can is ideal for anyone needing a low-footprint trash solution in tight spaces—powder rooms, guest bathrooms, dorm rooms, compact home offices, or bedside areas. It’s especially useful for buyers who want a dependable pedal action, easy-to-empty inner bucket, and the option to use tailored Code C liners for a neater, more reliable bag fit.
