simplehuman Rectangular Step Can 55L Brushed Stainless — Liner Rim, Lid Shox Silent Close

This stainless steel kitchen trash can is engineered to simplify daily cleanup. Instead of an inner bucket, the liner rim holds bags neatly out of sight so you get more usable volume inside the can. A heavy-duty steel pedal rated for 150,000 steps and Lid Shox® motion control combine to give long-lasting, reliable performance and a quiet lid motion that removes noisy slams from busy kitchens.

How does the liner rim system make trash management easier?

The liner rim secures the bag directly to the can, eliminating the need for a removable inner bucket and preventing bag overhang. That design yields roughly 25% more usable space and makes changing the bag faster and cleaner.

• Rim grips liner edges so bags stay hidden and neat.
• Removes bulky inner bucket for more trash capacity.
• Faster liner swaps — no fumbling with a separate bucket.
• Reduces bag slip and messy overhang in the kitchen.

What makes the pedal and Lid Shox® suitable for long-term use?

The pedal is constructed from reinforced steel and tested to withstand 150,000 steps, which translates to many years of everyday use. Lid Shox® uses motion control technology to slow and soften the lid’s descent, preventing loud bangs and reducing wear on hinges.

• Steel pedal engineered for longevity and smooth action.
• 150,000-step durability testing for consistent performance.
• Controlled lid motion for quiet, gentle closing.
• Hands-free hold-open feature for extended tasks like prepping food.

How does the built-in liner pocket and Code Q liners improve convenience?

The integrated liner pocket stores up to a 20-pack of Code Q custom-fit liners inside the can, so replacements are always within reach. Code Q liners are made to match the can’s shape, minimizing bunching and slipping while offering reinforced seams for strength.

• Internal pocket dispenses one liner at a time for quick access.
• Custom-fit Code Q liners reduce bag wrinkles and gaps.
• Extra-thick material with double seams for tear resistance.
• Stores a refill inside the can to keep counters clutter-free.

Can this can help control kitchen odors?

The can ships with an odorsorb® pod designed to neutralize smells for up to 45 days, helping keep kitchen air fresher between trash pickups. Combined with the secure liner fit and hidden bag design, odors are less likely to escape the can.

• Included odorsorb® pod reduces typical household trash smells.
• Sealed liner fit prevents gaps where odors can escape.
• Stainless steel body resists stains and is easy to wipe clean.
