simplehuman Round Step Trash Can 30L (8 gal) Brushed Stainless — Lid Shox Silent-Close, 150,000-Step Pedal

The simplehuman Round Step Can 30L is a durable, hands-free kitchen trash can with a silent Lid Shox® close, a long-life steel pedal rated for 150,000 steps, and a removable recycled-plastic inner bucket for easy emptying and cleaning.

This 30-liter (8-gallon) round step can combines simplehuman’s signature sculptural silhouette with engineering built for daily kitchen life. The brushed stainless steel exterior resists fingerprints and water spots thanks to an invisible silver-ion coating, while the round design fits neatly against walls or centred on a kitchen floor. With a focus on longevity and convenience, the can accepts Code G custom-fit liners and is backed by a 10-year warranty.

How does the Lid Shox® system improve kitchen use?

Lid Shox® controls the lid’s motion to prevent slamming, making the can quieter in busy households. The mechanism slows the lid at the end of its swing so it lowers smoothly and shuts silently, reducing noise and wear over time. This provides a more pleasant kitchen environment and protects the can’s parts from abrupt impacts.

• Patented motion control for slow, silent closing
• Reduces lid impact and prolongs hinge life
• Quiet operation suited to open-plan living

What makes the pedal and build quality long-lasting?

The pedal is crafted from hardened steel and engineered to endure at least 150,000 steps, equivalent to decades of typical household use. The can's body is made from brushed stainless steel with a protective silver-ion finish to minimize marks and water spots. Combined, these features prioritize durability and a consistently clean look.

• Steel pedal rated for 150,000 steps — built for long-term use
• Brushed stainless exterior with fingerprint-resistant coating
• Solid construction backed by a 10-year warranty

How does the removable inner bucket make maintenance easier?

The smooth inner bucket lifts out so you can empty waste, swap liners, or rinse the bucket without wrestling the whole can. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, the insert has no hard-to-clean crevices and sits securely inside the outer shell. This design keeps the countertop tidy and makes periodic cleaning quick and simple.

• Inner bucket made from 100% recycled plastic
• Easy lift-out for quick disposal and rinsing
• Reduces residue buildup and simplifies liner changes

Which liners fit and how do they help?

This can is sized for simplehuman Code G custom-fit liners, designed to fit without bunching or overhang. The liners are thicker and double-seamed to reduce tearing and slipping, keeping the interior neat and extending the life of each bag. Using tailored liners improves the fit and makes daily maintenance neater and faster.

• Code G liners designed for a snug, no-overhang fit
• Extra-thick material with double seams for strength
• Reduces bag movement and keeps the can interior clean
