simplehuman Step Recycler dual-compartment kitchen trash can, 58L (15.3 gal) Brushed Stainless — LidShox soft-close, 150,000-step

The simplehuman Step Recycler is a 58L / 15.3-gallon dual-compartment kitchen can that separates trash and recyclables in one compact, durable unit with a soft-close Lid Shox® lid and a 150,000-step steel pedal.

This recycler combines heavy-duty engineering with space-smart organization: a liner rim that removes the inner bucket for extra capacity, a handled recycling bucket for easy transport, and an internal liner pocket that stores up to 20 liners. Its dent-resistant steel body, fingerprint-resistant finish, and a plastic lid with simplehuman's patented slow-close motion make it a reliable, low-noise choice for busy kitchens backed by a 10-year warranty.

How does the dual compartment help streamline kitchen waste?

Keeping trash and recyclables separated at the point of disposal reduces sorting time and eliminates the need for a second can. The recycler fits both streams in one footprint so you can sort immediately without extra floor space.

• One side dedicated to trash with a liner rim for tidy bag placement
• Second side contains a handled recycling bucket that lifts out for curbside transport
• Combined volume gives 58 liters of total capacity for extended use between emptying

What makes the pedal and lid design durable and quiet?

The pedal mechanism is steel-rated for 150,000 steps, engineered to perform reliably over many years of daily use. The Lid Shox technology controls the lid’s motion, closing it slowly and silently to prevent slams and reduce kitchen noise.

• 150,000-step steel pedal tested for long-term durability
• Patented Lid Shox soft-close system prevents noisy slamming
• Plastic lid is dent-proof while the body remains stainless steel

How does the liner system simplify bag changes and storage?

The liner rim system grips the bag directly and hides it under the rim so there’s no inner bucket taking up space. An internal liner pocket stores up to 20 custom-fit Code H liners and dispenses them one at a time for fast replacements.

• Rim holds liners securely and frees up 25% more internal space
• Liner Pocket stores and dispenses up to 20 Code H liners
• Handled recycling bucket eliminates the need for a separate liner on that side

How does the finish and construction suit everyday kitchen use?

The can pairs a brushed stainless steel body with a plastic lid engineered to resist dents and daily wear. A silver-ion coating helps reduce visible fingerprints so the unit stays cleaner-looking between wipes.

• Brushed stainless steel body for durability and modern style
• Dent-proof plastic lid for impact resistance
• Silver-ion finish reduces fingerprints and simplifies upkeep
