Organize It All Dual Compartment Step-On Recycling Bin Trash Can, 16-Gallon, Silver, Black

I love this - in fact, I just bought my 2nd one. The first lasted 5 years. Great quality! I shopped around a lot this time to see if there were any others - and this still looks like the best. The good: the large size, the narrow and streamlined look, fits almost anywhere, the containers that hold the trash can be used without bags, and it's very sturdy. After 5 years I still had zero dents- even with 2 young boys running around my house. I get so many compliments on it. The bad: if you want to use trash bags (I do for trash, not recycle) - you have to get the method down for it to fit perfectly because the can is a little small for a standard bag and will pull up at one end if not secured when you put the interior can in. My trick is to put it on (over the handle), pull it down 1/3 of the way down the can, then pull one of the ties to secure, then twist that end until it's really tight (do not knot). Then when it drops into place, it fits perfectly and is secure on all sides. When you put garbage in, it will naturally creep down a bit but it stays in place. When you want to take the garbage out, pull gently on the side of the bag and it will release so you can tie it up, grab the handle and dump. I usually carry the whole can because the handle is so much nicer than risking the bag breaking in my house or dripping on my floor. Also, if you have wood floors, you may want to put some floor protectors for furniture underneath so that it doesn't scuff your floor over time from extended use.

I can't believe I paid this much for a trash can. But once I got past the price, I realized that this is a really great trash can and may even be worth the sticker price. I was looking for a solution to avoid clutter in my kitchen by having multiple bags next to my trash can for recycling, etc. This does the job. Everything is contained in one attractive bin (that perfectly matches my stainless steel appliances), but is still separated so it's very easy to take outside and put in the appropriate bins. The color-coded foot pedals are an added bonus -- you don't have to actually touch the trash can to put something in it, and it's easy to tell what goes where. Initially, I was concerned that the trash bins would be very small requiring me to take the trash out every day. But you can actually fit quite a bit in the bin. And since the bins are removable (an even have a handle), it's pretty easy to take the trash out without making a mess even when the bins are quite full. It's also worth noting that the trash can was well-packaged so there weren't any dings, etc. in the stainless steel. I know others complained about this in their reviews so I'm not sure if I just got lucky or the packaging has recently improved, but that would have been a big con for me since this trash can is so expensive and part of the reason you pay that price is for looks! So glad I didn't have to deduct a star for that. The only con I see is that this trash can doesn't have a section for compost, but I knew what I was buying, so I can't really call that a con.

This is incredible for smaller households that dont have a lot of trash. Both the bins have colors that help visually separate trash vs recycling. I’d give it 5 stars but the lid closure is not slow closing it just snaps immediately.

It looks good and is well made. Some people were upset that is was too small to use as a trash can...I can't imagine using it as such. It's a recycling bin. We use one side for cans and plastic and the other side for paper (junk mail/newspaper/magazines mainly). I like the handles that allow you to pull the bins out easily. It is small, but we recycle a lot, and it gets full in about a week for two adults and 3 cats (canned cat food that we wash out then recycle). It fits the space I needed to fit it in and I measured. Make sure you understand the measurements. It is short. The foot pedals work really well, so far. I'm glad I bought it. I would like it a little taller (to hold more) but over all it helps me with the recycling "clutter" that was visible until I took things outside to the recycling bins. Large recycling items like boxes still need to be broken down and taken outside. This unit is for smaller, everyday, household items.

I love this trash can! It holds 2 13 gal trash bags but I just use a bag on the garbage side because it is so easy to pull out the liners and wash them. I think we've had this can for about 5 years and it has not had the easiest treatment but it still looks great. The pedals (it has one pedal for each side which is great) work very well. It's easy to clean both the black rubber top and the metal.The only thing I would fault it for is even though it is stainless it is starting to rust a little on the inside. However, in it's defense we do live near the beach and most things do rust or corrode. After looking at the competing products this one is so much better that I'm going to buy another one.

The item is quite nice - great size, mechanically sound, and seemingly made of quality materials. But it arrived dented. And given the way it was packaged, I would have been surprised if it was not dented. It was packaged in a snug, thin cardboard outer box (no buffer between box and item, except at top); then inserted in a thin, cardboard shipping box (no buffer between the inner box and the outer box). Any random bump during transport was bound to dent it, and it did. I really hope they improve the packaging, as the item is a 5 (without the dent), but the packaging is a 1. I guess that averages to 3.
