Made of extra durable plastic, the simplehuman Semi-Round Step Trash Can is fingerprint-proof and easy to clean. It’s coated in a soft plastic wall bumper to prevent the can from damaging the wall if it bumps against it.

For small kitchens, we recommend a cabinet sliding trash can. This particular trash can is an excellent option as it’s only five gallons. This is enough space to see you through for a few days, but it’s small enough to fit in most cabinets.

The heavy-duty caddy is made of thick chromed steel wire. It’s a durable set-up that will accommodate your trash can for a long time. The caddy also slides all the way out of cabinets so you can reach the back of the trash can.

The removable inner buckets have handles. So you can easily remove them for taking out the trash or cleaning.
