with most other cans we’ve tested. (Don’t be deterred by the custom-fit bags Simplehuman sells for its trash cans. Most models fit generic trash bags just fine.) The lid opens smoothly, without smacking the wall behind it, and it can be locked open so you can toss scraps in while you cook. If a garbage bag breaks and leaks, the plastic insert on this can will catch the mess and make it far easier to clean up. The Rectangular Step Can is expensive, but it’s backed by a 10-year warranty, which is rare among garbage cans. We’ve been using an older version of this can in the Wirecutter test kitchen since 2014, and it’s still going strong despite plenty of abuse.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-1" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-1-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-1"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-1"></div></div></div></div><div class="ebb615ab global-cob e1e566ad a9af8aa7 d097cc30" data-scp="callout"><h4 class="d02b79e1 e20b6350" data-scp="callout_label">Also great</h4><div id="callout-intro-5-1" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="37268"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="37268"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="37268"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/37268/159871/4/111759?merchant=Amazon" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/37268/159871/4/111759?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="37268" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/37268/Simplehuman-Under-Counter-Pull-Out-Can_20200316-134551_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/37268/159871/4/111759?merchant=Amazon" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simplehuman Under-Counter Pull-Out Can" data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="5" data-pid="37268" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/37268/159871/4/111759?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">Simplehuman Under-Counter Pull-Out Can</a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/37268/159871/4/111759?merchant=Amazon" class="c44f6873" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The best pull-out trash can" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/37268/159871/4/111759?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_title" data-scp="callout_title" data-pid="37268" data-gtm-context="inline">The best pull-out trash can</a></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">This under-counter trash can is sturdy, and it glides easily on its pull-out track.

Two plastic arms on the rim of the can hold bags securely in place and out of sight, and the lid sealed in stinky trash better than those on any other model we tested. Though the Rubbermaid isn’t as stylish as some of our other picks, the black plastic exterior at least hides stains well. This can lacks some of the features we like in our other picks—such as a removable liner, a weighted base, and a lid that won’t hit the wall when opened—but for a basic, no-frills can, it gets the job done.</p></section></div></div><div class="a1497183"><div class="f21e64f1 b5823c44 cdde21c0"></div></div><div><div class="a7a181ea ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container"

With the exception of some in-cabinet models, most cans have lids. But you’ll find a wide range of lid styles with various opening mechanisms, the worst of which will quickly drive you crazy when you’re scrambling to cook dinner. If you’re having trouble deciding which one to get, here’s a rundown of the five basic styles and who they’re best for:</p><ul><li><strong>Step cans</strong>, which you open by pressing a foot pedal, are best for most households because they generally have well-sealed lids to contain odors, and they are easy to open hands-free (which is more sanitary). A foot pedal is a lifesaver when your fingers are dripping with raw chicken juice or you’re grasping a heavy wood cutting board that’s towering with potato peels.</li><li><strong>In-cabinet trash cans</strong>, which most often go in the cupboard under your sink, are a great option for small kitchens with limited space. You can of course use any trash can that fits under the sink, but dedicated in-cabinet cans are designed for easy access. Some sit on a metal track mounted to the base of a cupboard, so they’re easy to pull out. Others can be mounted on a cupboard door.</li><li><strong>Touch-top trash cans, </strong>which you open by pressing a button on or near the lid, are a good alternative to step cans for people who can’t operate the foot pedal on a step can. But since you have to use your hands, they’re less sanitary. The touch-top can we used to suggest as an honorable mention in our competition section has been discontinued. We're currently researching new options for folks who may not be able to use a step-can or regularly lidded can.</li><li><strong>Automatic trash cans</strong>, which open automatically using an infrared sensor or voice activation, have a high failure rate, and they didn’t open reliably in <a href="#automatic-trash-cans">our previous tests</a>, so we don’t recommend them. We’ve also seen reviews and gathered feedback from family and friends who own them that the batteries need to be replaced often. For all these reasons, we don’t recommend them. If you’re unable to operate a step can, we recommend you get a touch-top bin or an <a href="#the-best-small-trash-can-simplehuman-in-cabinet-can">in-cabinet can</a>.</li><li><strong>Trash cans with swing-top, butterfly, or fold-in lids</strong> don’t seal as tightly as other styles, so we don’t recommend them. They won’t keep odorous garbage contained or discourage inquisitive pets or pests from getting inside. The lids also tend to get splattered with food as you scrape dishes into the trash. Swing-top and fold-in lids frequently get caught on trash as the receptacle fills up, which prevents them from opening properly.</li></ul><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="how-we-picked"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="how-we-picked-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="How we picked" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="3">How we picked</h2><div id="how-we-picked-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="how-we-picked" aria-hidden="false"><figure id="attachment_143838" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Two trash cans we tested side by side." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=530 585w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=530&dpr=1.5 877w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=530&dpr=2 1170w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=425 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=425&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=425&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265&dpr=2 640w" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-143838"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> <!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Sarah Kobos</span></figcaption></figure><p>After researching more than 200 trash cans since 2014, speaking with numerous experts, and years of our own testing, we’ve found that there are a number of factors that make some cans easier to use and clean than others. Here are the most important features we looked for when selecting which trash cans to test:</p><p><strong>Durable materials:</strong> According to our experts, stainless steel bins with tight-fitting lids are best for keeping inquisitive pets and pesky insects or rodents at bay. As Matt Frye told us, “[rodents] can chew through any type of plastic. If it’s aluminum, they can chew through it. It has to be something sturdy.” He also told us to look for bins with “no [sharp] edges, because even with stainless steel, if there’s an edge, [rodents] have very strong mouths and can just bend it.” All of the trash cans we tested have rounded edges. We prioritized stainless steel bins when deciding what to test, but we included some plastic bins in the budget category. If you’re not dealing with a rodent problem, using a plastic bin is probably fine.</p><p><strong>Fits standard bags:</strong> We primarily tested full-size trash cans, limiting our search to those that could fit standard US trash bag sizes—10 gallons (38 liters) and/or 13 gallons (49 liters). The only exception is the <a href="#the-best-small-trash-can-simplehuman-in-cabinet-can">small Simplehuman In-Cabinet Can</a> we recommend, which fits regular plastic grocery bags and may be preferable for people with tiny kitchens. Some manufacturers are notorious for selling custom-fit bags with their trash cans (are your ears burning, Simplehuman?). Although we think that’s silly, all of the Simplehuman models we looked at also fit generic bags, so we didn’t rule any out.</p><p><strong>Easy to clean:</strong> Even securely held bags can break, tear, or leak inside a trash can, so we searched for bins that wouldn’t be too punishing to clean inside. Some trash cans had a maze of channels and indentations on the bottom of the bin that were a nightmare to clean, and we ruled those out quickly. We prefer cans with removable inner bins because they’re far easier to clean if your garbage leaks.</p><p>We also prioritized bins with stainless steel or dark plastic exteriors, because they’re easier to clean and better at hiding stains. The one thing that steel can’t hide is fingerprints. Some manufacturers advertise “fingerprint-proof” finishes, but in our tests those didn’t make much difference. We think this is only a minor issue, but if you’re bothered by fingerprints, see the <a href="#care-and-maintenance">care and maintenance section</a> for ways to prevent them.</p><p><strong>Rectangular:</strong> We limited our search to rectangular trash cans because their shape fits a wider range of spaces, and it’s easier to scrape food into their large mouths. Round trash cans don’t use space as efficiently and have narrower openings, making it more difficult to scrape scraps into them from a cutting board without some ending up on the floor.</p><p><strong>Tight-sealing:</strong> We looked for trash cans with tight-sealing lids and minimal gaps, to keep odors in and fruit flies out. That said, we had a hard time finding trash cans without some sort of hole in them. Some bins have cutouts for handles, and others have openings on the bottom of the can. In most cases, the holes were blocked when placed against a wall, but we did our best to find trash cans with minimal gaps or holes on the outer can. We also included a couple of lidless in-cabinet models in our tests in 2020, because we wanted to have an option for those who store their trash under the sink by necessity, due to space limitations.</p><p><strong>Sturdy but easy to move:</strong> For step cans in particular, we wanted to find models that would be heavy enough to remain in place while you open them but still light enough for you to move around your kitchen.</p><p><strong>Not an eyesore:</strong> A trash can doesn’t have to look like a luxury appliance to earn our respect, but it also shouldn’t be glaringly unattractive if it’s going to be on full display in your kitchen. We avoided cans that were overly stylized or just plain ugly.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="how-we-tested"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="how-we-tested-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="How we tested" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="4">How we tested</h2><div id="how-we-tested-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="how-we-tested" aria-hidden="false"><p>For our 2020 update, we tested nine new trash cans against two of our existing picks.

to outperform the competition due to several ingenious features. A removable inner bin keeps trash bags hidden in the can and makes it easy to clean up garbage leaks. The lid opens and shuts smoothly and silently, tightly sealing in odors. We also love the ridge inside the can that allows you to prop up the inner bin while changing a bag, and the small switch that allows you to lock the lid open for longer clean-up jobs. The cherry on top: This can also comes with an impressive 10-year warranty.</p><p>If a trash bag breaks or leaks, the interior bucket comes to the rescue. It’s a simple plastic liner that nests inside the main metal container to catch any gross trash juices that would otherwise leak into the grooves on the bottom of the can. And because the inner bucket is lightweight, it’s much easier to take it to the backyard or tub to hose down if you need to. The interior bucket is also handy for those times when your trash is so heavy that carrying the bag solo is too dicey. You can pull the entire bucket out and carry it to your trash drop without the risk of the bag breaking or leaking.</p><div class="ce43b2db fa61999a" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article

If you want, you can also mount it to the door with a single screw to keep it stable when opening and closing the cupboard, but it’s not necessary. The hook is ⅞ inches wide, so you should measure the thickness of your cabinet doors first to be sure it will fit. And keep in mind that if you have narrow cabinets, you may have to slide the frame closer to the door hinges for it to clear the opening.</p><div class="ce43b2db fa61999a"

You have to open the lid manually since it lacks a foot pedal or push-button opening mechanism, but it props open for longer cleaning and prep tasks. At 11 inches wide, the can’s opening is narrower than those of our other picks, so it can be a little more challenging to scrape trimmings into the mouth of the bin from a wide cutting board.</p><figure id="attachment_143861" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Plastic grocery bag on the Simplehuman In-Cabinet Can.

typically found in this price range. Impressively, it contained smells better than any other trash can we tested. The plastic arms around the inner rim of the can keep bags from sliding down into the bin and also hide any excess bag from showing. We also like that the lid can stay propped open for long prep tasks.

To fit a bag on the can, you lift the arms, tuck the bag around them, then lower them onto the rim of the can. The lid sometimes fell while we were trying to get the bag on, which made the process a little trickier, but after a few attempts we got the hang of it. We also noticed that when the bag was empty, the collar didn’t lie completely flat on the rim of the can, but once it began to fill up, the weight of the trash lowered the arms and secured them in place. The arms work best with drawstring bags, but other bag styles will work, albeit with a bit more fuss.</p><p>The mouth on the Rubbermaid is 17 inches wide, so you won’t have any trouble scraping trimmings off a cutting board. The lid can stay propped open for long prep or cleaning tasks, but it doesn’t lock open like the lid on our main pick, the <a href="#our-pick-simplehuman-rectangular-step-can">Simplehuman Step Can</a>. If you bump the bin slightly, the lid will most likely shut. The lid also doesn’t open as elegantly as the one on the Simplehuman can, and will hit the wall behind it if it’s placed too close. But we like that the Rubbermaid’s lid completely covers the bin, unlike other less expensive trash cans we tested. In fact, the Rubbermaid’s lid sealed in stinky trash smells better than any can we tested.</p><figure id="attachment_143850" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Close up of the Rubbermaid’s foot pedal." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=570&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=530 585w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=530&dpr=1.5 877w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=530&dpr=2 1170w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=425 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=425&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=425&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2704.jpg?auto=webp&quality=60&width=265&dpr=2 640w" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-143850"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The Rubbermaid’s foot pedal doesn’t cause the can to move excessively when it’s operating.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Sarah Kobos</span></figcaption></figure><p>The Rubbermaid doesn’t move much when you press the foot pedal, especially for a lightweight plastic can.

Many trash can manufacturers will advertise their touch-top cans as ADA-compliant in the product specs. However, according to <a href="https://accessdefense.com/?page_id=2355" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Richard Hunt</a>, an expert in the law of accessible design, “In general, the ADA construction standards only apply to what it calls architectural elements, which are just things that are built in. So ordinarily, a stand alone trash can isn’t covered by the ADA, at least not by the design standards.” That means that trash cans advertised as “ADA-compliant” have not been certified by an official agency. We’re conscious that some may be unable to use a step can, and hope to research and test touch-top or other non-step options for our next update.

Spray it down with a vinegar-, bleach-, or enzyme-based cleaner, such as <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/9342/26685/4/53900?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/9342/26685/4/53900?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_care-and-maintenance" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="9342" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/9342/26685/4/53900?merchant=Amazon">Simple Solution</a>.

The mold wipes off easily, but you can help prevent condensation and mold from developing by letting warm food scraps cool before discarding them in your trash can.</p><p>We’ve read some comments online complaining about fingerprints on stainless steel trash cans, even ones with a “fingerprint-proof” finish. We think they’re a minor issue, but if fingerprints bother you, here’s how to avoid them (aside from wiping the can down regularly): Apply a very light layer of baby oil, mineral oil, or a neutral cooking oil across the surface of the can, then polish it using a chamois or microfiber cloth. The coating will eventually wear off, but you simply have to clean and re-oil.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="what-to-look-forward-to"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="what-to-look-forward-to-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="What to look forward to" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="14">What to look forward to</h2><div id="what-to-look-forward-to-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="what-to-look-forward-to" aria-hidden="false"><p>We’d like to recommend an option for those who can’t (or prefer not to) use step cans, and who also don’t want an in-cabinet can.

shape wasn’t as well suited to small spaces as we had originally thought. It has a surprisingly bulky shape for such a narrow can. Also, its slender opening made it awkward to slide vegetable trimmings off of a cutting board and into the bin when it was positioned in the tight space between a cabinet and a fridge.</p><p>We like the locking lid on the Simplehuman plastic <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/9339/26682/4/53893?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/9339/26682/4/53893?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-competition" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="9339" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/9339/26682/4/53893?merchant=Amazon">Semi-Round Step Can</a>, which is great for keeping pets from getting into your trash, even if they manage to knock the bin over. However, the base isn’t weighted enough to prevent the can from sliding around when it’s empty. We still think this is a great can if you want to spend less than you would on our main pick, or if you need a locking lid to keep pets out. But keep in mind that this model’s semi-round shape takes up more space.</p><p>Simplehuman’s plastic <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/18144/94188/4/111749/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/18144/94188/4/111749/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_the-competition" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="18144" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/18144/94188/4/111749/?merchant=Amazon">Rectangular Step Can with Liner Pocket</a> has a smooth step and a design that hides trash bags.

Each of the sensor cans had significant problems. First of all, the sensors were inconsistent and often required using a second hand to get the lids to open. The mechanized “heads” are also heavy and cumbersome to remove when it’s time to take out a bag. If your trash can isn’t stored near an outlet, you can’t use the A/C adapter, which means you have to use three or four C or D batteries, depending on the model.

The main downside is that since this bin doesn’t have a lid, you’ll need to take your trash out more frequently to prevent it from smelling or attracting fruit flies.","type":"text"}]},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-callout","attribs":{"type":"alternate","id":"2"},"children":[],"dbData":{"ribbon":"Also great","callouts":[{"name":"Simplehuman In-Cabinet Can","title":"The best small trash can","images":{"full":"https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/7617/Simplehuman-In-Cabinet-Trash-Can_20180131-210529_full.jpg"},"description":"This small trash can sits securely on a cabinet door and frees up space in a snug kitchen.","notGreat":0,"ribbon":"Also great","pickTypeId":5,"referenceId":111760,"sources":[{"id":22436,"price":{"raw":2999,"formatted":"$30"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"http://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-In-Cabinet-Trash-Heavy-Duty-2-6-Gal/dp/B00DMMW22W","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/7617/22436/4/111760","store":"Amazon"},{"id":170535,"price":{"raw":2999,"formatted":"$30"},"order":1,"merchantName":"Walmart","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.walmart.com/ip/CABINET-TRASHCAN-10-BLK/113870977?selectedSellerId=101009884","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/7617/170535/4/111760","store":"Walmart"},{"id":153088,"price":{"raw":2999,"formatted":"$30"},"order":2,"merchantName":"Home Depot","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.homedepot.com/p/simplehuman-10-Liter-Black-In-Cabinet-Trash-Can-CW1643/204517207","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/7617/153088/4/111760","store":"Home Depot"}],"inactiveSources":[{"id":161151,"store":"Bed Bath \u0026 Beyond","price":{"raw":3000,"rawFormatted":"$30","formatted":"$30"},"buttonDetails":"","order":3,"valueAdd":"","countryId":"usa","availability":1,"rawUrl":"https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/simplehuman-reg-10-liter-in-cabinet-can/1041988916?skuId=41988916","url":"https://wclink.co/link/7617/161151/4/111760"},{"id":169937,"store":"Target","price":{"raw":0,"rawFormatted":"$0","formatted":"$0"},"buttonDetails":"","order":4,"valueAdd":"","countryId":"usa","availability":0,"rawUrl":"https://www.target.com/p/simplehuman-10l-in-cabinet-trash-can/-/A-79961011","url":"https://wclink.co/link/7617/169937/4/111760"}],"productId":7617,"calloutId":"p2","deals":[],"hasEventDeals":false,"combinedSources":[{"id":22436,"price":{"raw":2999,"formatted":"$30"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"http://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-In-Cabinet-Trash-Heavy-Duty-2-6-Gal/dp/B00DMMW22W","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/7617/22436/4/111760","store":"Amazon"},{"id":170535,"price":{"raw":2999,"formatted":"$30"},"order":1,"merchantName":"Walmart","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.walmart.com/ip/CABINET-TRASHCAN-10-BLK/113870977?selectedSellerId=101009884","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/7617/170535/4/111760","store":"Walmart"},{"id":153088,"price":{"raw":2999,"formatted":"$30"},"order":2,"merchantName":"Home Depot","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.homedepot.com/p/simplehuman-10-Liter-Black-In-Cabinet-Trash-Can-CW1643/204517207","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/7617/153088/4/111760","store":"Home Depot"}]}]}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"The compact, 10-liter ","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"a","attribs":{"class":"product-link","href":"https://wclink.co/link/7617/22436/4/111736/?merchant=Amazon","rel":"noopener noreferrer sponsored","target":"_blank","data-gtm-trigger":"product_link","data-store":"Amazon","data-pick-type-id":5},"children":[{"data":"Simplehuman In-Cabinet Can","type":"text"}]},{"data":" is an even smaller can than the pull-out, for those who don’t generate a lot of trash and who need something tucked out of the way.

Here are the most important features we looked for when selecting which trash cans to test: Durable materials: According to our experts, stainless steel bins with tight-fitting lids are best for keeping inquisitive pets and pesky insects or rodents at bay. As Matt Frye told us, “[rodents] can chew through any type of plastic. If it’s aluminum, they can chew through it. It has to be something sturdy.” He also told us to look for bins with “no [sharp] edges, because even with stainless steel, if there’s an edge, [rodents] have very strong mouths and can just bend it.” All of the trash cans we tested have rounded edges. We prioritized stainless steel bins when deciding what to test, but we included some plastic bins in the budget category. If you’re not dealing with a rodent problem, using a plastic bin is probably fine. Fits standard bags: We primarily tested full-size trash cans, limiting our search to those that could fit standard US trash bag sizes—10 gallons (38 liters) and/or 13 gallons (49 liters). The only exception is the small Simplehuman In-Cabinet Can we recommend, which fits regular plastic grocery bags and may be preferable for people with tiny kitchens. Some manufacturers are notorious for selling custom-fit bags with their trash cans (are your ears burning, Simplehuman?). Although we think that’s silly, all of the Simplehuman models we looked at also fit generic bags, so we didn’t rule any out. Easy to clean: Even securely held bags can break, tear, or leak inside a trash can, so we searched for bins that wouldn’t be too punishing to clean inside. Some trash cans had a maze of channels and indentations on the bottom of the bin that were a nightmare to clean, and we ruled those out quickly. We prefer cans with removable inner bins because they’re far easier to clean if your garbage leaks. We also prioritized bins with stainless steel or dark plastic exteriors, because they’re easier to clean and better at hiding stains. The one thing that steel can’t hide is fingerprints. Some manufacturers advertise “fingerprint-proof” finishes, but in our tests those didn’t make much difference. We think this is only a minor issue, but if you’re bothered by fingerprints, see the care and maintenance section for ways to prevent them. Rectangular: We limited our search to rectangular trash cans because their shape fits a wider range of spaces, and it’s easier to scrape food into their large mouths. Round trash cans don’t use space as efficiently and have narrower openings, making it more difficult to scrape scraps into them from a cutting board without some ending up on the floor. Tight-sealing: We looked for trash cans with tight-sealing lids and minimal gaps, to keep odors in and fruit flies out. That said, we had a hard time finding trash cans without some sort of hole in them. Some bins have cutouts for handles, and others have openings on the bottom of the can. In most cases, the holes were blocked when placed against a wall, but we did our best to find trash cans with minimal gaps or holes on the outer can. We also included a couple of lidless in-cabinet models in our tests in 2020, because we wanted to have an option for those who store their trash under the sink by necessity, due to space limitations. Sturdy but easy to move: For step cans in particular, we wanted to find models that would be heavy enough to remain in place while you open them but still light enough for you to move around your kitchen. Not an eyesore: A trash can doesn’t have to look like a luxury appliance to earn our respect, but it also shouldn’t be glaringly unattractive if it’s going to be on full display in your kitchen.

Finally, after eliminating several trash cans that failed our first tests, we tried to create the stinkiest trash scenario possible by combining onions, garlic, hard-boiled eggs, canned tuna, Danish blue cheese, Camembert, and kimchi in each of our step-can and touch-top finalists. We put the lids on the cans and let each one sit in a separate enclosed room over a weekend to see how well they contained the trash smells. Surprisingly, I didn’t make any enemies in the office when Monday rolled around. Note: We tested the small in-cabinet can we recommend separately for our guide to small kitchens, and our testing procedure was a little different. We installed it in a cabinet in a small apartment, and used it daily over the course of a month to see how easy it was to change bags and clean, and to see how well the lid sealed in odors.","title":"How we

Its hook attaches snugly to a cupboard door, and the bin fits 2.6-gallon trash bags or regular plastic grocery bags. The size means you’ll have to take the trash out more frequently, but it’s less likely to smell (the lid also helps contain odors). The In-Cabinet Can has a sturdy metal frame that attaches to a cabinet door with a foam-lined hook, so it requires no installation or assembly. If you want, you can also mount it to the door with a single screw to keep it stable when opening and closing the cupboard, but it’s not necessary. The hook is ⅞ inches wide, so you should measure the thickness of your cabinet doors first to be sure it will fit. And keep in mind that if you have narrow cabinets, you may have to slide the frame closer to the door hinges for it to clear the opening. We also like that, unlike many other in-cabinet bins, this can has a flip-top lid for containing trash odors and deterring fruit flies. You have to open the lid manually since it lacks a foot pedal or push-button opening mechanism, but it props open for longer cleaning and prep tasks. At 11 inches wide, the can’s opening is narrower than those of our other picks, so it can be a little more challenging to scrape trimmings into the mouth of the bin from a wide cutting board. This bin fits 2.6-gallon trash bags (or Simplehuman’s custom Code R bags) and regular plastic grocery bags. Like the pull-out bin we recommend, the In-Cabinet Can comes with a five-year warranty.","title":"The best small trash can: Simplehuman In-Cabinet Can","slug":"the-best-small-trash-can-simplehuman-in-cabinet-can","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_143842","align":"alignnone","width":"636"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"alignnone size-full wp-image-143842","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2558.jpg","alt":"Our pick for the best cheap trash can the Rubbermaid Step-On Trash Can.","width":"636","height":"424"},"children":[],"dbData":{"productionCDN":true,"source":"wp-content/uploads/2020/03/kitchentrashcans-lowres-2558.jpg"}},{"data":" ","type":"text"},{"data":" ","type":"comment"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Photo: Sarah Kobos"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-callout","attribs":{"type":"alternate","id":"3"},"children":[],"dbData":{"ribbon":"Budget pick","callouts":[{"name":"Rubbermaid Step-On Trash Can","title":"The best trash can under $30","images":{"full":"https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/Rubbermaid-Step-On-Wastebasket_20180117-194525_fullsize.jpg"},"description":"This plastic trash can held bags more securely than most of the other less expensive bins we tested, and it seals in garbage smells surprisingly well.","notGreat":0,"ribbon":"Budget pick","pickTypeId":3,"referenceId":111761,"sources":[{"id":107753,"price":{"raw":2410,"formatted":"$24"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Walmart","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.walmart.com/ip/Rubbermaid-Premium-Step-On-Trash-Can-13-Gal-Black-with-Metal-Accent/30606985","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/11812/107753/4/111761","store":"Walmart"},{"id":169857,"price":{"raw":2697,"formatted":"$27"},"order":1,"merchantName":"Home Depot","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rubbermaid-13-Gal-Black-Step-On-Trash-Can-2007867/205139090","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/11812/169857/4/111761","store":"Home Depot"}],"inactiveSources":[{"id":153620,"store":"Amazon","price":{"raw":2000,"rawFormatted":"$20","formatted":"$20"},"buttonDetails":"","order":2,"valueAdd":"","countryId":"usa","availability":0,"rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-13-Gallon-Premium-Step-Waste/dp/B01BK51X9K","url":"https://wclink.co/link/11812/153620/4/111761"}],"productId":11812,"calloutId":"p3","deals":[],"hasEventDeals":false,"combinedSources":[{"id":107753,"price":{"raw":2410,"formatted":"$24"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Walmart","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.walmart.com/ip/Rubbermaid-Premium-Step-On-Trash-Can-13-Gal-Black-with-Metal-Accent/30606985","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/11812/107753/4/111761","store":"Walmart"},{"id":169857,"price":{"raw":2697,"formatted":"$27"},"order":1,"merchantName":"Home Depot","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rubbermaid-13-Gal-Black-Step-On-Trash-Can-2007867/205139090","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/11812/169857/4/111761","store":"Home Depot"}]}]}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"If you’re looking to spend under $30 for a trash can, we recommend the ","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"a","attribs":{"class":"product-link","href":"https://wclink.co/link/11812/107753/4/53884?merchant=Walmart","rel":"noopener sponsored","target":"_blank","data-gtm-trigger":"product_link","data-store":"Walmart","data-pick-type-id":3},"children":[{"data":"Rubbermaid Step-On Trash Can","type":"text"}]},{"data":", which stands out in an endless field of otherwise flimsy trash cans typically found in this price range.

We also appreciated its extra-long foot pedal, which made it easy to open the lid from multiple angles. Its back pocket is designed to store extra bags, which can be pulled through the inner can (like tissues from a box) when it comes time to fit a new bag. However, if you don’t plan to use Simplehuman’s expensive custom-fit bags (Code M bags), you’ll be left with a hole in the back of the can, which could attract fruit flies and allow odors to escape. Step cans We used to recommend the Simplehuman Slim Step Can for tiny kitchens, but after years of long-term testing, we found its narrow shape wasn’t as well suited to small spaces as we had originally thought. It has a surprisingly bulky shape for such a narrow can. Also, its slender opening made it awkward to slide vegetable trimmings off of a cutting board and into the bin when it was positioned in the tight space between a cabinet and a fridge. We like the locking lid on the Simplehuman plastic Semi-Round Step Can, which is great for keeping pets from getting into your trash, even if they manage to knock the bin over. However, the base isn’t weighted enough to prevent the can from sliding around when it’s empty. We still think this is a great can if you want to spend less than you would on our main pick, or if you need a locking lid to keep pets out. But keep in mind that this model’s semi-round shape takes up more space. Simplehuman’s plastic Rectangular Step Can with Liner Pocket has a smooth step and a design that hides trash bags. However, it lacks a locking lid, a stay-open switch, and a removable liner. Its lightweight base would also be easily knocked over by kids or midsize dogs. The iTouchless SoftStep 50 Liter Stainless Steel Step Trash Can is one of the few manually operated bins sold by iTouchless, makers of an array of automatic trash cans. The lid on this can will hit the wall behind it, and it makes a weird noise that almost sounds like a rainstick when it closes. The lid also gets in the way when you remove the inner bucket, which makes fitting bags more difficult. We liked the compartment for holding extra bags on the GLAD GLD-74506 Stainless Steel Step Trash Can, but this can’s thin metal arms weren’t very effective at holding garbage bags in place. This trash can also doesn’t have a plastic insert, so if your garbage leaks, it will seep into the deep, hard-to-clean grooves on the bottom of the bin. The lid on the AmazonBasics Rectangle Soft-Close Trash Can hits the wall behind it when opened. Even if you pull the trash can a few inches from the wall, it will slowly scoot back each time you press the foot pedal. Plus, the plastic insert gets caught on the lip of the lid when you pull it out to fit a new bag. The soft-close lid mechanism on our Kohler 13-Gallon Step Can broke after only a few uses, causing the lid to slam shut with a loud bang. Also, when you open this model using the foot pedal, the whole collar around the rim of the can pops up slightly. We like that the Umbra Brim Trash Can comes in three colors and aims for a more upscale look than most budget trash cans. We dismissed it because its pedal was harder to clean than those on some of the other trash cans we tested, and its tapered design made it far too easy to knock over. Touch-top trash cans The Hefty Touch Lid 13.3 Gallon Trash Can was our former budget pick. However, after long-term testing, we found that the torsion springs that open the lid weakened over time and that the ⅛-inch gap around the perimeter of the lid let out trash odors. The GIGANTISK trash can came in six pieces and required assembly, which is very on-brand for IKEA. Its square shape is clunky and sticks out farther than a typical rectangular trash can when placed against a wall or cupboard. At 16 gallons, it’s also a bit too large to fit a standard, 13-gallon trash bag. Automatic trash cans In 2015 we tested two sensor-based (“touchless”) trash cans that open automatically: the iTouchless 13-gallon Deodorizer Sensor Trash Can and the Ninestars 13-gallon Automatic Trash Can. Each of the sensor cans had significant problems. First of all, the sensors were inconsistent and often required using a second hand to get the lids to open. The mechanized “heads” are also heavy and cumbersome to remove when it’s time to take out a bag. If your trash can isn’t stored near an outlet, you can’t use the A/C adapter, which means you have to use three or four C or D batteries, depending on the model. According to the customer reviews we’ve read, battery life seems to vary between six months and three years. If you can’t use a step can, we’d recommend getting a touch-top trash can instead. Pull-out trash cans The Rev-A-Shelf 35-Quart Pull Out Trash Can is very rickety and not as stable as the Simplehuman pull-out bin we recommend. The handle on the Rev-A-Shelf model is also thin and harder to grasp than the wider handle on the Simplehuman model. Other lid styles After testing the Simplehuman Butterfly Step Can in 2014, we learned that it can be very awkward to scrape things into bins with this design. In our later updates, we opted not to test trash cans with butterfly lids. Like the cans with butterfly lids we tested, the 16½-gallon Umbra Venti Trash Can was too difficult to scrape food into without getting it all over the lid. The swinging lid also does nothing to lock in smelly trash or prevent fruit flies. The IKEA FILUR’s square edges made it too difficult to stretch bags over the rim, so we dismissed this trash can.","title":"The competition","slug":"the-competition","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":null,"bodyContent":null,"title":"Sources","slug":"sources","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":[{"dateLocalDisplay":"January 22, 2020","author":"Sarah Zorn","title":"The Best Kitchen Trash Cans of 2020","publication":"Reviewed","url":"https://www.reviewed.com/home-outdoors/best-right-now/the-best-kitchen-trash-cans","text":""},{"dateLocalDisplay":null,"author":"Sienna Livermore","title":"5 Best Kitchen Trash Cans You Never Knew You Needed","publication":"Good Housekeeping","url":"https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/appliances/a27456239/top-kitchen-trash-cans/","text":""},{"dateLocalDisplay":"July 5, 2017","author":"Lindsey M.
