The strong steel pedal is designed to last, and our patented lid shox technology ensures a smooth, silent close every time.

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. ## Features - RECYCLE IT - Neatly sort your trash and recyclables in this dual-compartment can. It makes eco-friendliness very space efficient. - BUTTERFLY LID - Split doors open from the center for maximum clearance under low countertops. - STRONG STEEL PEDAL - simplehuman's strong steel pedal is engineered to last over 150,000 steps — that's more than 20 steps a day for 20 years. - SILENT CLOSE LID - simplehuman's patented lid shox technology controls the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close. - STAY-OPEN LID - The lid stays open for as long as you like — perfect for longer chores. - BUCKET PARK - For easy bag change, lift the inner bucket a few inches, tilt it toward you, then rest it in the bucket park position. - FINGERPRINT-PROOF - Fingerprint-proof finish resists smudges to keep stainless steel shiny. - CUSTOM FIT LINERS - simplehuman's code D liners are designed to fit this can perfectly so they don't slip, and they stay completely hidden. Extra-thick plastic and double-seam construction prevent rips and tears. - REMOVABLE INNER BUCKET - Durable inner bucket catches messy drips and lifts out for easy cleaning. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0085G725M | | Additional Features | Dual Compartment | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,007 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #60 in Wastebaskets | | Brand | simplehuman | | Brand Name | simplehuman | | Capacity | 40 Liters | | Color | Stainless Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,878 Reviews | | Finish Type | Brushed | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00838810007250, 00838810015637 | | Included Components | Trash Can | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 23.3"L x 10.4"W x 26"H | | Item Type Name | simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Dual Compartment Butterfly Lid Kitchen Recycling Step Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel | | Item Weight | 9.39 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | simplehuman | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Opening Mechanism | Step-On | | Recommended Uses For Product | Indoor/Outdoor | | Room Type | Kitchen | | Shape | D-Shaped | | UPC | 838810015637 838810007250 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 10-year warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** simplehuman - **Capacity:** 40 Liters - **Color:** Stainless Steel - **Finish Type:** Brushed - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Opening Mechanism:** Step-On - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Indoor/Outdoor - **Room Type:** Kitchen - **Shape:** D-Shaped - **Special Feature:** Dual Compartment ## Images ![40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Dual Compartment Butterfly Lid Kitchen Recycling Step Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ssl-SYJxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does the butterfly lid work?** A: Split doors open from the center for maximum clearance under low countertops, and it's equipped with our patented lid shox technology for a slow, silent close. **Q: What are custom fit liners?** A: Our custom fit liners are specially designed to fit our cans perfectly without bunching, slipping, or unsightly bag overhang, creating a cleaner, more polished look for your space. **Q: Which custom fit liners work with this can?** A: The 45L Butterfly Step Can uses Code K The 40L Butterfly Recycler uses Code D The 30L Butterfly Step Can uses Code H The 18L Butterfly Step Can uses Code L The 10L Butterfly Step Can uses Code R **Q: Is the odorsorb pod compatible with this model?** A: Yes, the pod fits discreetly under the lid and uses a microporous membrane to continuously release natural plant oils that neutralize trash odors. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great trash can on all levels! *by A***R on October 31, 2025* 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.

The separate plastic container fits perfectly and there is no garbage smell from the whole trash can! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for low-waste homes! Less bins; sleek & sturdy; dog friendly! *by B***R on May 28, 2024* 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.

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.
