3. Honey-Can-Do - Set of Stainless Steel Step Trash Cans with Lid - Silver

Stainless steel remains popular in kitchen designs, which is why we love the fresh rose-gold accented lids on this set of trash cans. Overall, the stainless steel finish still lends a space the polish and sheen at the heart of its industrial appeal, but while adding a rosiness that's warm and welcoming. Place the larger 30L can in the kitchen, and stash the mini 5L trash can in a home office or a bathroom. Both trash cans in the set function the same, so expect a contactless operation from the step pedal and a soft close from those rose-gold lids. When it’s full, a removable plastic liner makes hauling trash outside a breeze.

A contactless step trash can is practical on several levels. For one, it’s keeping hands from touching unnecessary surfaces, which means less of the germs that carry colds and fewer of the hand-washings that dry out skin. Contactless also means you won’t have to devise a complicated strategy for single-handedly opening a garbage bin while juggling a cutting board’s worth of potato peels, carrot skins, and broccoli stalks. The square form factor makes it handy to sneak this large trash can into a kitchen corner, and the clean stainless steel finish with black plastic accents meshes with most modern designs.
