trash cans & recycling bins

I love the size of this can and the fact that it keeps the smell in, but that's about it. We looked at the iTouch cans, we decided they were too expensive because we wanted the recycle and garbage in one. So, we decided to purchase two of these, which was still more than we wanted to pay for plastic, but this one seems to be a little heavier quality than other similar cans. One other thing I don't care for is the fact that whether it's on the carpet or the kitchen floor, it scoots when using the foot pedal. I'll have to find some rocks to but in the bottom. see less

We had this trash can in our kitchen for 3-4 months and then the latch part broke with normal use. I would not recommend buying this unless you plan on buying one every few months. see less

The plastic part that snaps the lid onto the basket broke after just two days of normal use. see less

this is a tiny wastebasket, which is what i wanted. but looks sturdy and sleek. ideal for bedroom or bathroom see less

Easy-to-Clean finish, step works great and is powerfully spring-loaded! hard, plastic inside liner has a handle and is very convenient when emptying & replacing. you can use a standard plastic bag as a liner too it fits perfect! see less

So far, things have gone well. The can itself is very sturdy and the pedal appears to work very well. I have seen a lot of other reviews on step cans and people mention how they eventually break. For now, I'm pretty confident with it!I really like the oval profile because we have it in the kitchen along a wall/walkway and I think it keeps out of the way even if it's only a couple inches. see less

I've had this now for s ... see more

I've had this now for several months. The pivot lid is great - when I've got something like coffee grounds in the filter, just toss it in! Easy to clean and easy to get the trashbags in and out. Can position it either way, and it has a small footprint. Fits with any decor! see less

Bought this trash bin for ... see more

Bought this trash bin for the backyard when BBQing.......works GREAT!!!! Love that you don't even have to touch lid to get the trash in. For those of you that expect a "large" opening, this is not the case. However, I didn't find any problem with this, when I needed the larger opening, I just lifted the easy lift lid. This trash bin is a good size, not too big and not too narrow as some other ones that I was looking at. Overall, awesome value for durable user friendly trash bin. see less

This wastebasket is being used in a recreational room for children and teenagers. It definitely fulfills our needs as a wastebasket. The lid is helpful in keeping the trash in the basket and keeps any smells from dissipating. Great buy! see less

Great trash can. Wide opening to put trash in yet small and compact. The touchless entry is nice. However you will need 4 D batteries unless you buy the plug adapter and keep the can near an outlet. Good design, stylish. Again the only downside is that batteries or the plug were not included. Happy overall with the purchase see less

I really like this trash can. It doesn't take up much room. I like that it has an inner liner, so that the garbage bag doesn't hang over the front of the trash can. see less

This trash can is great. ... see more

This trash can is great. I've owned it for 2 years and it still looks like new. The foot pedal is wide and very sturdy. It's the first trash can that I have owned with a pedal that didn't break. It even survived us moving to a new house. If you've been searching for a nice strong trash can, this is it. see less

It's nice and tall and the bags stay in so nice without slouching down, the pedal works wonderfully, the color is sharp. Great buy, great price. Would definately recommend. see less

I was a bit leary spending a cheaper price on a trash can, but after getting it home and using it, I love it. I love the black color. I'm a bit onthe OCD side with cleanliness and I hate a dirty trashcan. It holds quite a bit and the target trash bags work great. The liner holds well and doesn't fall inside. I love then step-on feature, but seems like I end up using my hands anyway. Creature of habit I suppose. Two thumbs up! see less

like this garbage alot. it is lightweight and so far seems durable.foot pedal opening is roomy enough for my size ten foot,but i find myself opening lid by hand more often than using foot pedal.only gave it 4 stars because lid mechanism pushes thru the bag this no big deal. i would recomend to a friend. see less

We use this as a diaper pail and it keeps the smell contained. The only downside is that we have to empty it every other day because the size is fairly small but we like it a lot and it looks nice. see less

If it fits our apartment, it can fit everywhere! I recommend! Also, it's supermarket bag size so no need to buy trash bags for that one. see less

I hardly ever write review, but I want to for this trash can. I've moved a lot and the kitchen trash can is always needing to be replaced. I like trashcans with a lid and that you don't have to touch. I end up never using the foot lever to open a can. Of all the ones I've had, this is the best one! It really feels like a more high-end trash can. It has room for the whole trash bag, so you don't take it out and then have all this room for more trash. When it's full, it's full! The touch lid is very smooth and has been working just fine. see less

I purchased the last one Target had in stock, and I love it for putting my recycledtrash in,but I need the same the 12.2 Gal trash can in black with the same touch lid for my other table scraps trash, to fit in my kitchen space. also the kitchen trash needs to be empty more often due to smell.[.....] carries that size on lineWhy don't you ? see less

Bought it because of the ... see more

Bought it because of the one touch feature. Within a week the one touch feature no longer worked, so the lid would not open at all. Now have to put my hand inside the can to push the lid up. Nice, dirty job. Now I get to clean and return. Thanks Hefty. see less

This trashcan is best appreciated for its classic simple styling. The mechanism is simple, unlike electronic i-touch type which is bound for failure. Get the stainless lid. My plastic lid broke from the plastic hinge as well after I had a visitor attempt to manually close the lide. Simplehuman was a pleasure to work with and sent me the stainless steel replacement lid. I would buy the same trashcan again and would choose Simplehuman over other companies. see less

I can not believe I spent this much on a trash can, but I love it! I have only had it a week, but so far so good. see less

We love this trash can (if such emotion is compatible with a garbage receptacle!) The delayed close feature is something you wouldn't think about, but now couldn't live without! What the other user posted about the lid is true, but if you contact simplehuman directly, they will send you a free replacement lid...and it is all stainless steel parts...much more sturdy than the cheaper plastic parts that do break in a year. The customer service at simplehuman has been fantastic...they got back to me within 24 hours and the new piece has already been shipped. Hopefully this helps!! see less

My husband couldn't under ... see more

My husband couldn't understand why I would spend so much money on a trash can, but I can tell you this is worth every dime! The lid soft closes, so there is no banging (especially nice with not-careful children around)~ The bag tucks nicely around the edge of the can and any excess can be pushed through the little hole in the back just for this purpose. (I have never had a bag rip and I am using off brand bags, by the way) All of this is on a removable plastic can that slips into the metal one. This prevents any drips from harming the stepper mechanism, and makes for super easy clean up if a bag does leak.The other thing I just LOVE about this can is that its steel is brushed and fingerprint resistant. It doesn't say that on the box or anything, but I've had other stainless steel stuff that just held onto any prints and they wouldn't come clean. THIS can comes clean with a little window cleaner and a rag. Quick wipe down, maybe a buff with a dry part of the rag and it looks like new again. With kids around, that is just amazing! I think I'll be sticking with Simplehuman for my trash can purchases in the future! It was well worth the extra money for a can that will last for years and years. I was tired of the plastic ones that just never come clean. This is exactly the way to go. see less

I really like this product, it's durable and looks nice. The only problem is, the shipping was delayed for a month and it was delivered with 2 dents in it! see less

These stainless steel tra ... see more

These stainless steel trash cans are really overpriced. And this one is horribly designed. Just try getting the trash bag out when it gets full. It catches (every damned time) and then tears open. And then you still can't get it out. This morning, after months of trying to like this thing, I was unable to get the trash bag out after it tore open. Rather than remove the bag I threw the whole can out with the bag - good riddance. $60 in the trash...quite literally. see less

My other wastebasket was always overflowing before the end of the week, but this one holds more, so we don't have to empty it mid week. It fits perfectly in the space I have for it. It's very easy to keep clean, just wipe with a disinfectant wipe, and the lid keeps the odors inside. It is the perfect wastebasket! see less

I love my new wastebasket ... see more

I love my new wastebasket. Perfect size, perfect price and fits perfectly well in my kitchen. Easy for my little one to open. I also love the fact that the lid automatically leaves the odors in. It also fits a lot more garbage than the other one I had before. Must buy see less

I installed this recycler under my kitchen sink for recycling aluminum cans, and just love it! It was easy to install on the cabinet door, and is just the right size. It's light weight, yet very sturdy material. I use a plastic bag to line it because I don't want to get the inside of the base bag dirty because it's so nice. The handle makes it easy to transport the goods when it's full to my larger outside container. This is definitely A KEEPER! Keep up the great work Rubbermaid! see less

We currently started one-stream recycling, all items go into one container. I bought this product as an alternative to bulky recycle bins. I was so pleased with the ease of use, I purchased several more for christmas presents for famiy members. This also works well mounted on the wall in the garage. The only issue I truely have is that it is hard to purchase, it must be ordered online. see less

It's heavier than I had thought it would be but is ok for the purpose. Now that we compost so much it may prove a bit small. Pretty though. see less

Looks great and unobtrusive on the kitchen counter. Make sure to keep it closed tight though. The garden is loving it too! see less

This is the best thing I have found over the years for keeping composting food scraps in. Easy to clean out, does not absorb odors, my only frustration is that the handle comes off so easily. I wish it was a little tighter. And maybe I will try to tighten it with pliers soon. see less

I actually did purchase this in the Target store even though it says it is only available online. I thought it was really pricey, but I wanted something that would look nice on the counter that I could throw my food scraps into. I did not think that the filter would work so well! I can keep nasty food scraps in it for days. I know that is really gross, but it happens. Anyway, no smell can be detected from broccoli and other smelly stuff even after days. I now believe that the price that I paid was actually well worth it. see less

I needed a small odor absorbent trash can and found this guy instead. It is perfect for the dog poo from my small pup, keeps the smell out of my kitchen and from attracting flies on the porch. see less

We purchased this container to store our dog waste between trash pick ups. We store it in the garage and it holds the waste and eliminates the odor that we use to have when we were just putting the bags in the trash. This is a very good quality container, very solid. It is small but the exact size we were looking for. see less

I got this for my mother ... see more

I got this for my mother for Christmas. She has had many "step to open" trashcans and has been frustrated by the way the bag has had to go into those. With this can, you remove the lid and place the bag, so it is super easy. The automatic opening is great when walking with a large load of trash to throw away. It move quickly and I haven't noticed a loud sound as some other reviewers stated. We've really enjoyed it so far! see less

We've only had the iTouch ... see more

We've only had the iTouchless for a few weeks, so reliability is still unknown. But, so far, it is just what I envisioned. It is a big improvement over the previous model in that the IR sensor isn't set off by our dogs as the previous one was and there's no lid that rises up to hit against the countertop. All-in-all I feel it is worth the money and I'm pleased that we bought it. If you can afford the rather high price, I'd recommend getting one. [...] see less

I've enjoyed our fancy ne ... see more

I've enjoyed our fancy new trash can. I've learned how to make it open nearly every time with the first swipe. Sometimes it's a little stubborn, but not often. And there IS a manual "open" button as well. I didn't realize that the thing closed by itself too until a few hours after I had it. It almost scared me! LOL The opening in the lid could be a bit larger, though it's usually not a problem. I'm finding that this one holds much more because everything sinks to the bottom (and also makes the bag REALLY heavy if I let it get all the way full... ) I'd definitely buy this one all over again, though. It's a nice look, nice idea, and a pretty cool kitchen trash can :) And it was a SUPER buy!! I haven't seen many plain stainless trashcans even close in price to this one! I finally decided it's "safe" to throw out my shipping box after a month. :) see less

We have had this trash ca ... see more

We have had this trash can for a year. Overall the quality is what I expected, I bought it [$] last year so I didn't have to spend much to try it out. I love the step feature and the stainless steel look. But, the most annoying thing about this trash can is that it has a metal rim, like an under lip, that catches on anything in your trash bag when you try and remove it. If we have cans, boxes, or bottles in the bag, it is impossible to remove without ripping the bag. So frustrating! We are getting a new trash can this weekend. My husband "accidentally" threw away the plastic ring - but I think we are more than ready for a new trash can that won't be such a hassle. I would not recommend this to anyone. Sorry! see less

I have wanted a stainless ... see more

I have wanted a stainless steel trash can with step-open lid because I have a cat that gets into things, and because I like to cook a lot and have my hands free. I thought this one would be a nice balance between quality and price. I bought it in the store on sale, and it seemed to be solidly built. Unfortunately, it only worked from June until early September, when the plastic piece that holds the lid hinge together gave out. We may be able to repair it with epoxy, but I feel that this was poorly constructed as the hinge seems like it would have to give out sooner or later, being made of plastic. It needs some kind of steel reinforcement. I am very disappointed that I spent over [$] on a trash can that couldn't even make it through a year of regular use. see less

Not worth it! It got weird rust spots all over it after like 3 months! then a few months after, the lid broke! CHEAP!!!! see less

Finally found a nice garbage can for my kitchen that is the right size and color. The bottom of this can will not scratch your floors like some of the others. The OXO brand speaks for it's quality and durability. If you want red accents for your kitchen or any room, this is the one! see less

I love this trashcan. Its the perfect size for my small kitchen. It has this hook on the back that holds the bad in place, so thats a good thing. The color is awesome and it opens and closes smoothly.The only thing i dont care for is when I use the foot pedal the can slides backwards, but other than this it works for me. see less

Most excellent receptacle for disposal of trash...sassy red and with a foot pad that makes for hands-free and better yet, germ-free refuse placement! see less

This is a very nice kitch ... see more

This is a very nice kitchen garbage can. I am very pleased with mine and would buy it again. Two design apects I would change. One, the top lip of the can is rolled inwards and so some square, stiff items (such as milk cartons, cereal boxes, etc) will catch on it and make the bag very difficult to pull out. Second, pulling the bag out creates a suction between the bottom of the bag and the bottom of the can, making the bag difficult to pull out. This problem may have been eliminated in the newest models.Small kids love to play with the auto lid (some adults, too). Shines up beautifully. All in all, a darn good garbage can. Much better than the Simple Human can I tossed out. see less

this trash can is really nice. it works well, doesn't take up too much space and holds a lot. The only problem I've had is that the compartment that holds the batteries came open once and I had to fish for the batteries and cover in the trash. So now I have put tape over the compartment to make sure that doesn't happen again see less

We love our trash can! It was the only thing missing when we first completed our house. We do admit it is a little pricey, but it is stilysh and easy to operate. We are happy with the purchase and reccomend it to people who want their trash can to complement their kitchen! see less

I have had this for about ... see more

I have had this for about 2 weeks and so far it is working well. I don't have any problems getting the bag out. I like the fact that you can leave it open for an infinite amount of time by manually pushing the open button. The sensor works well and although once in awhile it will open if I walk too close, it is rare. I bought the adapter to plug into an outlet rather than have to use batteries which is great! I would recommend this product! see less

I love mine when I purcha ... see more

I love mine when I purchased the first one, then it broke. I had a 7 gallon version for a little more than a year where a gear broke and the lid would not open. Bought a 13 gallon version and now a little more than a year later the sensor won't open the lid and the lid does not close. Replaced the batteries and then took the batteries out, left them out for over 24 hours, as one poster suggested, to reset the sensor and that didn't work. My trash can is never near water and is never forced open or closed unless the darned thing doesn't work. [...] I'm going to a stainless foot model. I'm done with itouchless. see less

I got this can for my mom ... see more

I got this can for my mom 2 years ago on super clearance when they were carrying it in store at Target, and ever since I've been kicking myself for not getting myself one as well. The main reason I purchased this can was I recenlty got a boxer puppy who I wanted to keep out of the trash. My mom's still looks like new after everyday use in the kitchen so I'm looking forward to mine holding up as well. see less

I'm embarassed to say I put so much thought into buying a trashcan. This is a really nice, solid trashcan; it's well made, not flimsy, and the sleek black looks great in my kitchen! It also has a neat feature that holds your bag in place. Very nice. I love it, and it's a trashcan I'll be using for many years to come. Enjoy! see less

I bought this can and it ... see more

I bought this can and it is just as great as Trixie has described, although it's day 2 of ownership, I can tell from the quality and of the OXO name/design that this is a terrific can. It shipped quickly from Target, and packaging was excellent. The rim and bag clip work like a charm, so far I'm thrilled (it's the little things in life, right:)? see less

I got this for a cat food ... see more

I got this for a cat food container and I've been using it for about 5 months. It works great. The lid gets opened and closed twice a day and I haven't had any trouble with it. For under ten bucks, you can't beat it! see less

We've had this garbage ca ... see more

We've had this garbage can in the nursery for over a year now, possibly closer to two. We wanted a garbage can with a lid so our baby & toddler would not grab anything out of it. Used to throw garbage and wet disposable diapers in this with a tall kitchen bag as a liner, a great fit. Now using as a pail for cloth diapers. It will hold a lot. I do diaper laundry every day though and so far this doesn't retain smells. I clean the pail with vinegar and water and don't yet have a pail liner. The latch has gotten stuck to the lid a few times and the spring hinge has popped out too but I've been able to fix it and get it working again every time. For the price it's a great value. Easy to open & close with one hand. Even my 3 yr old boy can open and close with ease but yes it gets stuck sometimes. I still like it! see less

I wonder if my wife even ... see more

I wonder if my wife even tried the lid in the store before buying it. It worked sporadically the very first day she brought it home. Now it won't latch at all. Total failure. And of course we didn't keep the receipt. DO NOT BUY! see less

These trashcans are great ... see more

These trashcans are great! We have the black and the silver (for trash and recyclables). They are nice looking and compact without sacrificing capacity. They are easy to put together also. Just make sure they are in an out of the way spot or you will set them off everytime you walk by. The best part is that the kids are always more than willing to throw away their trash now- because it's fun!! I definitely recommend these cans! see less

I bought this trash can s ... see more

I bought this trash can sight-unseen. I was planning on getting one of the cans with a "flip up" hinged style door. After reading reviews of their proclivity to break, I decided to chart new territory and purchase this "2nd Generation" touchless trash can. The door slides open, instead of flipping up. The design is sleek and the black color looks great in our kitchen. The can has a molded ring inside it that you can loop the trash bag's top rim around so that your trash can securely stays inside without showing on the outside. This can made its public debut at our housewarming party and people gauked and stared and commented all night on it. It is definitely pretty cool.The only drawback is that it is rather loud. Yes, loud. So loud that I can hear it open and close from almost anywhere in my house (granted it isn't loud throughout the house, but audible throughout the house). I don't know why it is so loud, but it took some getting used to. My wife almost didn't want to keep it because of its loud operating sound. But, we are hooked on it and it is now a welcome member of our family, faults and all.If I had it to do over again I would have made the same choice. If you really want a motion-activated trash can and you don't mind being able to hear it open and close then you should be pleased with this can. It is pretty fun. see less

This can has some great f ... see more

This can has some great features: it opens and closes automatically, it is very sturdy and fits in a compact space. However, I do have some issues with it: the tall, slender shape doesn't match well with your standard 13 gallon trash bag, which you may have noticed is more short and squat. What this means is that in order to remove your bag from this can, without destroying the bag in the process, you have to leave the bag very loosely filled. All that space left in the bag is just wasteful. And it completely defeats the purpose of buying the can for me (to keep the trash away from the dog) if I then have to leave the sack out to finish filling it. Also, the lid is very heavy and not easy to keep clean especially where the lid slides together to open. see less

I wanted a diaper pail bu ... see more

I wanted a diaper pail but all the fancy ones seem too much and you have to buy special bags. I got this so I could use my grocery bags. It works great. It's a little smaller than I thought but I don't think I read the size before getting it. It works well for diapers. When it is full the diapers should go out anyway! :-) see less

This is a great answer to ... see more

This is a great answer to hiding your unsightly garbage from family and guests as well as keeping it out of reach from ill-mannered pets. It was a breeze to assemble and install. The only bad thing is it's only 11 gallons. Perhaps upgrade to the 16 gallon model? see less

OK, the price is way more ... see more

OK, the price is way more reasonable than the ridiculously expensive ones. The inner trash bin is heavy duty plastic, so having read the other reviews I passed on buying bags for it. Instead I just take the cylinder out, and dump it directly, and then I hose it down. Since I put nearly zero garbage in it, I expect this to work well. Haven't had it long enough to know if the lid will hold up. If you are required by someone to bag your trash - don't buy this one. see less

So I moved into my first apartment and decided to get really awesome things to fill it with.........This trash can is super cute and matte black which is awesome it's easy to put the bags in and it's also super easy to wipe clean..........about a week later the fricken plastic latch at in the back of the trash can which causes the lid to lift up and and down when you step on the petal broke!!! [...] I really love the way the trash can looks and the color and the price I don't want to pay [a lot of money] for a simple human trash can and I don't have space to store a ugly plastic trash can cause everyone will see it [...] Anyways it was good while it lasted. see less

I bought this garbage can ... see more

I bought this garbage can to go in my bedroom and I am very pleased with it. It's large enough I can fit all my bedroom trash in it and it isn't so big that it becomes a permanent noticeable fixture in my room, like a bed or dresser. The stainless steel finish gives it versatility with my decor and and makes it easy to clean. I have been using it almost daily for just over a month and have had no problems what-so-ever with it. see less
