Our code D liner fits this can perfectly — no bunching or slipping for a cleaner trash experience. Brand Story We design tools that help people become more efficient at home.

We call our products tools for efficient living.

Review: Great trash can on all levels! - Great trash can with slow, quiet closing lid, fits snug against side of sink area and double opening of lids keeps it close to wall without hitting the wall. Even husband thought I made a great purchase. A little pricey for a trash can but works great, solid construction, the dual containers is brilliant! Ordinary kitchen trash bags work great. We use one side for the food scraps in a “covered plastic” container. We are required to be separate out food scraps as per state regulations. The separate plastic container fits perfectly and there is no garbage smell from the whole trash can!
Review: Perfect for low-waste homes! Less bins; sleek & sturdy; dog friendly! - I was using two 40L SimpleHuman "K" fit bins (one for trash; one for recyclables), though in my tiny kitchen they took up too much space. I have a low-waste home...no single-use items unless absolutely necessary, no paper towels, tissues, paper plates, boxed meals, wasteful consumerism, etc. so I didn't need to empty my bin weekly, but waiting until it was full caused odor issues. PROS: This dual 20L (40L total) "D" fit butterfly bin was a better fit so my trash would not get stinky. It will still take me nearly 2-weeks to fill each compartment. It takes up less space than the two bins, and the butterfly top keeps my rubbish from accidentally going out the side when I toss it in too quickly. The foot lever works awesome; it does not require a lot of pressure, but does not fly open easily, and has a quiet close feature. I am confident a dog could not easily get into the top...my dog is not a trash fiend but I like making sure he's safe anyway. The "stay open" lid is easy to adjust for when you need it open longer. I bought the custom fit liners and they have not leaked and they fit great. Being metal, I put my nephew's awesome artwork on a magnet on it. CONS: I have not yet been able to get the "bucket park" feature to work, and there doesn't seem to be anything for the inside bin to lean on to get it to stay while leaning forward, and have watched others' videos. Not sure the issue here but I will just have to remove the entire inner-bin to change the bag out. I do not believe you can attach the composter bin with this, though I would like to have that option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 1/2 years and I'd do it again
*by J***Y on October 16, 2018*

I wasn't sure about this once we got it and saw it was fairly small for what I was used to for a main kitchen trash can but I think 5 1/2 years with it earns me the right to brag, and admit my concerns weren't warranted. It's easy to clean if it needs to be. Small(ish) maybe, but we seem to not have any issue with capacity, at all. We tend to dump the recycle side into our recycle cart so we don't replace bags all the time. The trash side is near impossible to do that for obvious reasons: trash = moisture and in general, kitchen garbage! The feet keep it planted on the floor resisting sliding, it's shape makes it easy to tuck out of the way yet be accessible and it looks good. It really does, it's a good looking trash can that doesn't stick out because of size. It blends. Function of the foot pedal opening the top has been flawless, completly perfect for 5 1/2 years. It's built really well. It may be a little more expensive that other cans but these are made with quality material, functional and well built. Cost of bags......I was really annoyed by that but in the end, I'm back today to reorder recycle bags and realized the cost hasn't been much as all over the years. On average we use less than 1 bag per week of recycle, and probably right at 1 bag for trash. The bags, they fit snug in the cans and never pull off. They're easy to release, tie up with the handle/ties and out out it goes, and even better, the recycle work better in recycling centers where recycling is sorted. If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. Here's to another 5+ years!!
