Semi-Round Step Trash Can
A step-pedal kitchen bin with a slide lock that keeps the lid shut against a nosing dog, the easiest fix for scraps like corn cobs getting scavenged out of the bin.

Our take
A dog nosing open a swing-lid bin is how a lot of cooked bones, corn cobs and sweetened food end up somewhere they should not be. This one uses a slide lock over the lid, so once it is engaged the lid stays shut even when a dog paws or noses at the pedal, and the pedal itself needs a real step to open rather than a light push. It is a kitchen trash can first, sized for a household rather than a single room, and the slide lock is a manual step you have to remember to set rather than something that happens automatically.
Good to know
- 50 litre / 13 gallon semi-round body
- Slide lock over the lid, engaged manually
- Step pedal opening, no touching the lid
- Fingerprint-resistant coated steel finish
Who it is for
- Households with a dog that raids the kitchen bin
- Kitchens where scraps like corn cobs or bones end up in the trash
Who should skip it
- Anyone who will not consistently engage the slide lock, it does not lock itself
- Tight galley kitchens, the semi-round body still needs real floor space
