simplehuman Round Step Can 4.5L Compact Bathroom Trash Can, White Steel with LidShox® Slow-Close & 150,000-Step Pedal

The simplehuman 4.5L Round Step Can is a compact, durable bathroom trash can with a slow-closing LidShox® lid, a 150,000-step steel pedal, and a removable recycled-plastic inner bucket.

This small-footprint round step can is designed for tight spaces like powder rooms, small bathrooms, home offices, and beside bedroom vanities. Finished in clean white steel, it mixes a minimalist style with engineering meant to last: a pedal rated for 150,000 steps and a patented LidShox® mechanism that prevents loud slams. The inner bucket lifts out easily for emptying and cleaning and is manufactured from at least 75% post-consumer recycled plastic—so routine maintenance is simpler and more sustainable.

How does the LidShox® feature improve daily use?

The LidShox® mechanism controls lid motion so it closes slowly and quietly instead of snapping shut. That reduces noise in early mornings and late nights and protects the lid and hinge from impact wear over time.

• Quiet, controlled lid descent for peaceful bathrooms
• Less impact stress extends overall product life
• Consistent, smooth operation every time you step on the pedal

What makes the pedal so durable and reliable?

The steel pedal is engineered and tested for 150,000 steps—equivalent to decades of regular daily use—so it resists bending and keeps the lid working properly. The pedal design gives positive tactile feedback and stays stable on hard floors.

• Heavy-gauge steel pedal rated for 150,000 steps
• Stable press action that minimizes wobble
• Durability suited to frequent use in high-traffic rooms

How does the removable inner bucket make cleaning easier?

The inner bucket lifts out cleanly, eliminating awkward angles when emptying or rinsing. Its smooth interior and recycled plastic construction resist residue buildup, and the compact size keeps carrying weight manageable.

• Removable bucket for quick emptying and rinsing
• Made from at least 75% post-consumer recycled plastic
• Smooth interior reduces trapped debris and odors

Which liners fit this can and how do they help?

simplehuman Code A custom fit liners are sized for this 4.5L round can to prevent bunching and slipping. These extra-thick, double-seamed bags reduce overhang and breakage, keeping waste contained and the can looking tidy.

• Code A liners tailored to the round 4.5L shape for a snug fit
