simplehuman Rectangular Step Can 45L / 12 gal Matte Black Steel — LidShox Silent Close, Liner Pocket & 150,000-Step Pedal

A sleek 45-liter rectangular step can from simplehuman that hides liners, keeps lids whisper-quiet, and stores replacement bags inside for effortless kitchen waste management.

This simplehuman rectangular step can is designed to make everyday kitchen cleanup simpler and tidier. The liner rim system frees you from an inner bucket so you get more usable space inside the can, while Lid Shox quietly controls the lid. Built for longevity with a steel pedal rated for 150,000 steps and a built-in liner pocket for on-the-spot refills, it pairs with simplehuman Code M custom-fit liners and includes an odorsorb pod to reduce odors for up to 45 days. Backed by a 10-year warranty, it’s made to last in active households.

How does the liner rim system make trash handling easier?

The liner rim replaces a traditional inner bucket by gripping the bag directly under a stainless-steel rim, which hides the liner and creates more usable interior volume. Changing bags is faster because you pull and secure the liner in place — no bucket to lift or balance.

• 25% more usable capacity vs. comparable bucket designs
• Cleaner look with liners concealed under the rim
• Quicker liner swaps without handling a heavy inner pail

Will the pedal and lid hold up to daily use?

Yes — the pedal is engineered from durable steel and rated for 150,000 steps, which equates to decades of typical kitchen use. The Lid Shox mechanism slows the lid’s motion for a soft, silent close so it won’t slam even during busy meal prep or when kids are around.

• 150,000-step tested steel pedal for long-lasting performance
• Patented Lid Shox for slow, quiet lid closure
• Hands-free lid stay-open function for extended tasks

How does the liner pocket work and why use Code M liners?

The built-in liner pocket stores a 20-pack of simplehuman Code M custom-fit liners inside the can and dispenses them one at a time. Code M liners are made to match the can’s dimensions so they won’t bunch or hang over the edge, and their reinforced seams reduce the chance of rips or leaks.

• Internal dispenser holds and releases up to 20 liners
• Custom-fit Code M liners prevent overhang and slipping
• Extra-thick, double-seamed bags for cleaner disposal

What else helps keep odors and cleaning simple?

The can ships with an odorsorb pod designed to reduce trash smells for up to 45 days, helping keep the kitchen fresher between cleanings. The rectangular shape fits neatly against walls or cabinetry, and the matte finish resists fingerprints and wipes clean easily.

• Included odorsorb pod helps neutralize odors for up to 45 days
• Space-saving rectangular profile fits tight spots beside counters
• Durable matte steel finish resists smudges and cleans quickly

Who is this for? This simplehuman 45L rectangular step can is ideal for households that want a tidy, durable kitchen waste solution: busy families, apartment dwellers, and anyone who values low-noise operation, easy bag changes, and built-in storage for replacement liners. If you prefer a compact, high-capacity can that minimizes liner fuss and maximizes useful interior space, this model is a practical fit.
