Amazon Basics 30L Dual Bin Soft-Close Trash can with Foot Pedal - 2 x 15 Liter Bins, Stainless Steel, Small Inner bins, Suitable for 1 or 2 People

I find it absurd that people can rate this product poorly for its small size. The size is clearly mentioned in the listing. I think it's up to the buyer to figure out what dimensions they need before ordering, or if they order incorrectly because they didn't do their due diligence, that's understandable but certainly don't blame the seller for your own mistake. Just because the thing doesn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work for someone else (some of us live in tiny apartments, single rooms in boarding houses, dorms, or have small offices or art studios...some want to separate their paper and plastic from trash in their bathrooms, some aren't using this for trash at all, be imaginative and don't assume your needs should be the needs of others or blame he company for making products to suit a variety of consumers' needs. There's a lid for every pot (or trash can as the case is here). This is the smallest dual bin trash can I could find and I needed just this size for my mom's bedroom. It closes perfectly, meaning the lid comes down all the way when you release the pedal. It's very nice looking and and as well-built as SimpleHuman trash cans (I read Amazon contracts with SimpleHuman to make some of their trash bins so this might be one of those). I use SimpleHuman size D trash bags (I actually use cheaper dupes made by PlasticPlace size D, they are cut precisely like the SimpleHuman bags, the ones in this size are thin though so if you are putting very heavy things in the trash, you might want a stronger bag, I guess they assume such a small bin would't require the thickness, but there are times when that's not the case). The D is a little loose but works well, I think R might fit more snugly and I might try that next but D is fine and the lid closes just fine with D bags in place. Not much more to say about this nice-looking small dual-bin receptable. Very well made and well designed.

I don't recall garbage bins being so damn expensive and my friend actually spotted this one on one of those flash sale things so i snatched it up and for the size and split use it's perfect. The bins are small so if you have a lot of trash this ain't the can for you. I live in an apt and need to empty the trash often to avoid bugs and until i start composting this bin is perfectly size, sturdy and closes securely. Have not found anything negative about this bin. Collects my trash and doesn't complain. I think i'll keep him around. ;)

After seeing reviews about folks being angry about the size and the finish having problems on the top I was a bit worried, but there are only 2 of us and so we decided to go for it. We recycle and compost so the trash part doesn’t need to be big for us and it does fine for two of us. The old tall kitchen bags we have are ok to use but we will switch to mediums when these are gone. Mechanically the can works as advertised; no complains there. A lot of critical reviews talked about the top having blemishes in the steel finish. There are maybe small marks on this but it’s only noticeable if you are searching for imperfections. I didn’t even notice until taking photos for this that there is a small dent in the front. It was packaged pretty well so I’m overall happy with buying this over some $130-150 one just to get the larger size.

Bought this 3 years ago after moving into a new place with limited space & wanted something that would hold recycling, too. I guess I should have measured or educated myself on liters, but I imagined this would hold a LOT more than it does. I just thought each bin would be larger. I will say, it is very well-made--after three years it still works great, the finish is easy to clean & resists prints/dust-i don't find the need to touch it much with the foot pedal, which also still works great. I did end up removing the metal lift-handles from the bins, they got in the way and it was easier to pick up by that small hole in the front. The bins just don't hold much. Besides the small size, finding garbage bags that fit it are almost the worst part. The only ones I can find at the store are medium size. The thin kind with no drawstring or handle. We found these rubber bands made to go around the top of the bins so the bag doesn't slide down. Btw, there are just two of us living here with our cat & our dog. I don't think we generate a huge amount of trash, but it fills up fast for us. After owning this can for three years, I believe it would be perfect for a one-person household Or a couple who isn't a big consumer. And if you are thinking that you will just take out the bar that separates the two compartments, think again cuz it's part of the whole can. While im sure it could be done with a little ingenuity and some power tools, I think I will get another can & put this in the office or something. I do plan to buy this same brand because despite the size, I am really happy with everything else about it! Hope this helps someone before they buy it for a big family or even two people. And think of the trash bags---tall too big, small too small. Stuck with medium. Maybe better ones sold online.

I do not understand how this product is so highly rated. Using this trash can is (and has been) frustrating at about every turn. Do not buy. I shall elaborate: 1. Damaged Upon Arrival. In Stage 1, you discover how flimsy the product can is. As advertised, the trashcan looks like it should be sturdy, but (for me) arrived dented. Better yet (and apparently through some sort of magic), the trash can develops dents along the outer framing--totally on its own and despite careful use (e.g., no throwing off a balcony). 2. Normal Trash Bags Are Useless. Stage 2 is when the frustration begins to percolate. The majority of grocery and other convenience stores sell large (or "tall") trash bags, and would I bet dollars to doughnuts that this is the size most consumers (including me) are used to. However, the two buckets on this bad boy are so small that it's like figuring out a Rubik's cube to get a normal-sized trash bag fitted on each bucket. I doubt that you would prefer smaller bags for ordinary kitchen use, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when everyone is at home. 3. Buckets Are Too Small. The measurements are accurately stated online, but the buckets are MUCH smaller than you'd think. You've probably already cursed yourself a few times having installed bags that are too big for buckets that are too small. Now you're in for the real treat in Stage 3: the buckets can only accommodate trash for 1-2 days maximum! And if you have a family, that figure drops down to 1-2 hours. Taking out the trash occurs more frequently than using the restroom. To add insult to injury, if you have normal trash bags (which I'm sure you do), they will be half full when the trash can is emptied, because they were too big for the buckets in the first place. Awesome! 4. Trash Bags Hard To Remove From Buckets. Stage 4 is the cherry on top. There is a handle on each bucket, and it operates similarly to the handles on grocery shopping baskets (i.e., falls down around the rim and can be pulled up when in use). Here, when you lift the trash bags from these ridiculous child-sized buckets, the handle on the bucket is unavoidably lifted along with the bag, entangling both and causing the bucket to be lifted right out of the trashcan. The upshot is that in Stage 4, everything becomes funny and you start laughing. The denouement, so to speak. 5. You Write Your First Amazon Review. No explanation needed.

Smaller than I expected, and by that I mean smaller than I imagined. I didn’t read the measurements provided or any reviews (rare for me). So, sizing discrepancy is on me. I ordered “Used - Like New” due to price. Came in excellent condition. If your household produces a lower amount of waste on regular basis, it should be fine! Even though it is smaller than expected, I will be keeping it for my townhome with 1 resident. I don’t make that much trash / recycling, so I think it will be spacious enough for my weekly waste. I may have to change an extra time or two if I’m having guests, but shouldn’t be an inconvenience.

I love the clean lines and easy to clean surface of this trash/recycle can. You can use the 8 gallon sized bags since I don't like to go without. Holds a good amount of stuff and easy to empty. I love the step pedal and the soft close. I am a recycle fool and all my veggie waste goes into a compost holder in my fridge so there's no worry about odor. Might be too small for more than two people unless you change your trash daily but otherwise, a great little good looking trash can for a great price!!

I rarely write reviews but I dislike this trash can so much I felt compelled. First, there are no trash bags that fit the awkward size of the bins. The closest size that works is still much too large and bunches up around the rim, making it difficult for the lid to close. The bins are finicky and hard to remove/replace… every time I try to pull them out I end up spilling my recycling all over the floor in the process. I wish I had sprung for the SimpleHuman dual compartment bin I was eyeing instead. Save yourself the trouble.

This is a great sized bin for my kitchen. I did have a bit of mix up to get the right liners, I’ve got about 300 in the wrong size 🙄, however, it’s really sturdy, looks good and the soft closing lid means my cat can not have a heart attack when I put something it!

Good quality

Vraiment pratique et hygiénique. Permet de trier sans avoir deux poubelles différentes, les contenants intérieurs se retirent facilement pour être vidé et nettoyés. L'extérieur se nettoie facilement et ne se raye. Un plus très agréable, la fermeture est quasiment hermétique donc pas d'odeur qui s'échappe de la poubelle. Une utilité évidente !

excellent product
