simplehuman 18L butterfly pedal bin, brushed stainless steel

I love this design, I have 3 different sizes of this design and my dog who loves to get in the trash, cannot. I also love the narrow design.

Good product, especially for those of us who recycle. It keeps the dogs at sniffing distance from the things that don’t go in the compost. Looks a lot better than the old plastic waste paper basket we had hidden under the sink. Now, it shines in metallic glory next to the kitchen island!

This is an amazing piece of kit. I needed a bin for a small area and this is perfect. The craftsmanship is outstanding, as is the packaging it arrive in and the speed of service. So impressed, that I’ve just bought a caddy bin.

Otherwise, very pleased — it’s a substantial upgrade on the 10L model I was using previously and definitely a more cost-effective choice if you’ve got the space for the 18L.

I was looking for a larger compost as in Seattle we are required to compost a lot of our items. I wanted a bin to fit in a particular small space, and this was the best option with being narrow and tall, and has a foot pedal. What would have made it better? A bit shorter in length, and maybe a single flap instead of 2. I wished it was a bit more square for my space. Lastly, please make compost bags that fit your larger bins! I’ve found some elsewhere, but would happily but the perfect size for this can if it was compostable.
