SONGMICS 18-Gallon Stainless Steel Kitchen Trash Can — Tall Slim Silver/Black with Step Pedal & Soft-Close Lid

SONGMICS 18-gallon stainless-steel kitchen trash can is a tall, fingerprint-resistant bin with a roomy interior, step pedal, soft-close lid, and a stay-open feature for large cleanups.

Designed for busy kitchens, this SONGMICS garbage can combines durable stainless-steel construction with practical details like a wide foot pedal, odor-control charcoal filter, and included liner bags. It offers a modern silver-and-black finish that resists fingerprints and wipes clean, while the tall, space-saving shape fits against counters or in tight spots. Whether you’re managing family meal prep, entertaining, or trying to cut down on trips to the curb, this bin balances capacity and convenience.

How easy is it to operate the pedal and lid?

The large 7.8-inch pedal gives a stable stepping area and mechanical advantage so opening with a foot is effortless, even when your hands are full. The lid mechanism is engineered for both immediate closure and controlled movement.

• wide stainless-steel pedal for comfortable, steady use
• smooth linkage minimizes required force
• soft-close damper prevents loud slams
• manual stay-open position when you need extended access

Will it keep odors under control in a busy kitchen?

Odor management is handled by a replaceable carbon filter located in the lid that helps neutralize smells before they escape. The snug-fitting lid also limits air exchange compared with open-top waste containers.

• built-in activated carbon filter to reduce common kitchen odors
• tight lid seal slows scent diffusion
• stainless-steel interior is easy to clean and rinse
• 15 compatible liner bags included to help maintain a clean interior

How much trash does it hold and where does it fit best?

With an 18-gallon capacity, this trash can holds more waste than standard kitchen bins, reducing the frequency of emptying during busy days. Its tall, narrow profile is intended to make efficient use of vertical space while still keeping a large volume.

• 18-gallon interior for family-sized volume
• tall, slim silhouette saves floor footprint
• ideal beside counters, islands, or in utility areas
• compatible with 16–18 gallon liner bags for a snug fit

What materials and finishes are used, and how do I maintain it?

The body is constructed from stainless steel that resists fingerprints and wipes clean with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. Durable components in the pedal and lid are designed for repeated use without binding.

• fingerprint-resistant stainless-steel exterior for easy upkeep
• sturdy metal pedal and internal mechanism for long service life
• detachable inner bucket or rim for simple bag changes and rinsing
• comes with 15 liner bags and a replaceable carbon filter for ongoing freshness

Who is this for: This SONGMICS 18-gallon trash can is aimed at households that need a larger-capacity, low-maintenance waste solution—families, frequent entertainers, and anyone wanting a tidy kitchen with minimal odor and noise. It suits spaces where a tall, narrow can is preferred over a wide low-profile bin, and it’s a good match for shoppers who value a durable stainless finish, hands-free operation, and thoughtful extras like included liners and a charcoal filter.
