simplehuman Slim Step Can 5L Matte Black Steel — Compact Bathroom Pedal Bin with Liner Pocket & Silent Lid Shox

The simplehuman Slim Step Can is a compact 5-liter bathroom pedal bin that packs heavy-duty engineering—silent Lid Shox closing, a 150,000-step all-steel pedal, and an internal liner pocket—into a slim, wall-friendly design.

This petite yet robust waste can is engineered to bring the same durability and convenience found in larger kitchen models into bathrooms, powder rooms, and tight utility spaces. With a matte black steel finish, a removable inner bucket made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, and a built-in liner dispenser, it keeps waste management tidy without sacrificing performance or style.

How does the Slim Step Can save space without losing capacity?

The Slim Step Can's narrow footprint is shaped for tight corners and between sinks or toilets, while still holding a practical 5-liter (1.3 gallon) volume. It’s designed to be tucked flush against a wall thanks to an internal hinge that removes the usual rear clearance requirement.

• Slim rectangular profile fits narrow gaps and small counters.
• Internal hinge lets the lid open fully when placed against a wall.
• 5L capacity balances compact size with usable waste volume.

What makes the pedal and lid mechanisms durable and quiet?

The pedal is constructed from all-steel and tested to withstand at least 150,000 steps—engineered for years of daily use. simplehuman’s patented Lid Shox technology controls lid motion to close slowly and silently, preventing startling slams in quiet bathrooms.

• All-steel pedal tested for long-term reliability (150,000+ steps).
• Lid Shox motion control ensures a soft, silent close every time.
• Sleek internal hinge contributes to smooth, space-saving operation.

How do liners and cleaning work with this model?

A built-in Liner Pocket stores a 30-pack of simplehuman Code B liners so replacements are always inside the can. The removable inner bucket lifts out easily for emptying and rinsing, and it’s made from recycled plastic to reduce waste and simplify cleaning.

• Liner Pocket dispenses Code B custom-fit liners one at a time.
• Inner bucket is removable for quick emptying and washing.
• Bucket material uses 100% post-consumer recycled plastic.

Why choose the matte black finish and how does it fit modern bathrooms?

The matte black steel finish gives the can a refined, low-reflective look that complements modern and minimalist interiors. Its neutral tone conceals fingerprints better than glossy surfaces and pairs well with chrome, brass, or matte fixtures.

• Matte black offers a contemporary, subtle aesthetic.
• Durable steel construction resists dents and everyday wear.
• Neutral color matches a wide variety of bathroom palettes.

Who this is for: The simplehuman Slim Step Can is ideal for anyone who needs a high-performance, low-footprint waste solution—owners of small bathrooms, renters wanting durable, move-friendly accessories, or households that prefer a tidy, refill-ready system. If you value silent operation, long-lasting mechanics, and the convenience of an internal liner dispenser in a compact form, this can delivers big-can engineering in a space-saving package.
