SONGMICS Dual-Compartment Trash Can, 2 x 8 Gallon Stainless Steel — Soft-Close, Pedal-Operated

Compact and quiet, the SONGMICS 2 x 8 gallon dual-compartment trash can provides separated waste bins with soft-close lids for tidy, odor-minimizing kitchen sorting.

This stainless-steel dual trash can is built for everyday kitchen life: two removable 8-gallon liners let you separate recyclables and trash, a pedal-operated mechanism opens the lid hands-free, and a silent soft-close hinge prevents sudden slams. It combines clean lines and durable materials so the bin fits modern decor while standing up to frequent use.

How does the dual-compartment design make sorting easier?

The two inner buckets lift out independently for quick emptying and washing, so you can manage trash and recyclables without cross-contamination. Built-in bag anchors keep liners from slipping and make replacement faster.

• Two 8-gallon removable liners for separate streams of waste
• Integrated bag holes that secure bags during use
• Compact footprint that fits beside cabinets or in small kitchens

Will the lid close quietly and reliably?

Yes — the lid uses a soft-close mechanism designed to lower smoothly and reduce noise, protecting floors and lowering interruptions in open-plan homes. The pedal lets you open the lid without touching it, and you can lock it open for a short time if needed.

• Soft-close hinge prevents slamming and reduces wear
• Sturdy step pedal opens lid hands-free for hygiene
• Option to keep lid propped open for bulky disposal tasks

Is the construction durable and easy to maintain?

Constructed with stainless-steel panels, this bin resists dents and fingerprints for a longer clean appearance. The two inner buckets lift out for rinsing, and included trash bags help you get started right away.

• Stainless-steel exterior resists corrosion and daily scuffs
• Dual removable liners simplify cleaning and emptying
• Includes 15 starter bags; compatible with SONGMICS 8-gallon bags (Code H)

How much space does it require and where does it fit best?

At a combined 16-gallon capacity in a compact layout, the unit is sized for kitchens, laundry rooms, home offices or entryways where waste separation is helpful. Because the bins are side-by-side, it’s easy to slide the unit into narrow gaps while maintaining good capacity.

• Total capacity: 2 x 8 gallons (2 x 30 L)
• Side-by-side layout optimized for small footprints
• Sleek profile pairs with modern and transitional kitchens

Who is this for? The SONGMICS dual-compartment trash can is ideal for households that want to keep recyclables and trash organized without sacrificing counter or floor space. It suits busy families, apartment dwellers, and anyone looking for a durable, low-noise waste solution that makes bag changes and cleaning straightforward.
