The 10 Best Pedal Trash Cans

Editor's Notes

April 21, 2020:

Most rooms in our homes and offices need some form of a receptacle to hold our waste. While a trash can without a lid may be fine in an office or bedroom, a more hygienic option is often preferred in kitchens and bathrooms. This selection of touchless cans keep your garbage out of sight and are operated with a foot pedal, which prevents having to touch the lid at all. They are available in a range of styles and finishes, so you can match them to your bathroom hardware, or your kitchen appliances.

Smaller options are more suitable for bathrooms and bedrooms, or as a secondary can in a kitchen. The Simplehuman Butterfly lid and the AmazonBasics Rectangle are both compact options finished in brushed stainless steel. The Mingol Retro, and the Kohler K-20957 are equally small and are available in different color schemes.

Large trash cans are ideal for kitchens as they generally produce more waste, much of which is recyclable. The Simplehuman Dual Compartment has an integrated second bin that can be used to store plastic bottles and suchlike. Other larger capacity models like the Glad GLD-74507, the Simplehuman Semi-Round, and the Ninestars Combo Set are functional for everyday kitchen waste, and will complement your appliances with their brushed metal outer shells.

If you're searching for something with a touch of design flair then the contemporary angles of the Liex-trash Geometric are sure to stand out in any setting. The space-age, iTouchless Autostep has an electronic sensor built into the pedal that lifts the lid with an effortless tap.
