SONGMICS 18-Gallon Stainless Steel Kitchen Trash Can - Tall Black, Step-On Pedal & Soft-Close Lid

SONGMICS 18-gallon stainless steel kitchen trash can is a tall, space-saving bin with a sturdy step pedal, soft-close lid, stay-open option, carbon filter, and included liners for easy everyday use.

This tall, 18-gallon garbage can is designed for busy kitchens that need a large-capacity, low-maintenance waste solution. Its stainless-steel body resists rust and wipes clean, while an oversized pedal and soft-close mechanism make hands-free use smooth and quiet. Built-in conveniences such as a lid catch for extended open access, an odor-absorbing carbon filter, and a supply of fitted liners mean fewer interruptions during cooking, cleanup, or entertaining.

How does the step-on pedal make kitchen routines easier?

The wide 7.8-inch pedal lets you open the lid without touching the bin, keeping surfaces hygienic and hands free. The pedal is made from reinforced stainless steel to stand up to repeated use and provides enough surface to step on comfortably even with wet or gloved feet.

• 7.8" pedal width for secure foot placement
• Durable stainless-steel construction resists bending
• Hands-free access reduces cross-contamination risk
• Pedal action pairs with soft-close lid for controlled movement

Will the lid slam or get in the way during large clean-ups?

This trash can combines a soft-close mechanism with a stay-open feature: the lid closes gently to avoid noise and can also be kept open at a catch point when you need continuous access. That makes it convenient for loading bulky items or when multiple people are working in the kitchen.

• Soft-close damper prevents loud slamming
• Manual stay-open catch for extended access
• Quiet operation ideal for households with children or sleeping family members
• Lid geometry minimizes accidental spills when open

How does the can manage odors and bag changes?

The removable carbon filter in the lid helps trap and neutralize unpleasant smells at the source, while included liners (15 pieces sized 16–18 gallons) fit the interior to simplify bag replacement. The stainless-steel interior is smooth and easy to wipe, which reduces lingering residue and makes routine maintenance straightforward.

• Carbon filter in the lid for odor control
• 15 liners included, sized to fit 16–18 gallon capacity
• Rust-resistant stainless-steel interior for easy cleaning
• Inner rim design secures bags to prevent slipping

Does this trash can save floor space while holding a lot of waste?

Yes—its tall, narrow profile increases usable capacity without a large footprint, so you get 18 gallons of volume while preserving kitchen floor area. The sleek black finish and stainless-steel elements also provide a modern look that integrates with many kitchen styles.

• 18-gallon capacity for fewer trips to the curb
• Tall, slim footprint fits beside cabinets or islands
• Black finish with stainless accents complements contemporary kitchens
• Designed for both residential and light commercial use
