Sort garbage and recycling in one footprint without touching a lid
At a Glance
- 10.6 gallons total: 40 liters split across two removable buckets
- Two inner buckets: a 6.6 gal (25 L) and a 3.9 gal (15 L) for trash and recycling
- Step pedal: a steel pedal lifts the lid so hands stay clean
- Slow-close lid: lowers quietly with no slam
- Matte silver stainless: an easy-wipe finish for kitchen or office
Two cans for trash and recycling eat up floor space, and one can mixes everything together. This Elama step bin solves both with a single 40 liter (10.6 gallon) stainless steel body holding two removable plastic buckets: 25 liters for trash and 15 liters for recycling. A sturdy steel pedal opens the lid hands free, and the slow-close mechanism lowers it quietly without slamming or pinching fingers. Built-in side handles make it easy to move for cleaning, and the matte silver finish wipes clean.
Key Features
- Split inner buckets: 25 L and 15 L removable plastic buckets keep garbage and recyclables apart.
- Steel step pedal: a stable, smooth step opens the lid without touching the bin.
- Slow-close lid: eases shut quietly and keeps fingers from getting caught.
- Side handles: built-in handles let you lift and move the bin without grabbing the lid.
- Stainless steel body: a matte silver finish that cleans with a quick wipe.
- Rectangular shape: a squared-off body sits neatly against a wall or the end of a cabinet run.
What's Included
In the box: one 40 liter stainless steel step bin with slow-close lid and two removable plastic inner buckets, one 25 liter and one 15 liter.
Before You Buy
- The two compartments are different sizes. One bucket holds 25 liters (6.6 gal) and the other 15 liters (3.9 gal), so neither side is sized for a standard 13 gallon kitchen bag. Plan on smaller liners.
- It stands 25 inches tall. Measure under any counter overhang or shelf and leave headroom for the lid to open fully.
- The footprint is 18.25 by 14.5 inches. Check the floor space beside a cabinet or island before ordering.
Perfect For
- Kitchens that sort recycling
- Home offices and break rooms
- Small kitchens with room for one bin
- Apartments with building recycling rules
- Mudrooms and laundry rooms
Care & Use
- Wipe the stainless exterior with a soft damp cloth and mild soap, following the grain.
- Lift out the inner buckets to wash them in warm, soapy water; dry before replacing.
- Step on the pedal gently and let the slow-close lid lower on its own rather than pushing it shut.
- Skip abrasive pads and bleach on the stainless steel.

Why a split step bin simplifies the kitchen
Hands stay clean
Step on the steel pedal and the lid lifts, so raw chicken packaging and coffee grounds go in without touching the bin. The slow-close lid then settles shut quietly instead of banging.
Easy to empty and clean
Each plastic bucket lifts straight out for bagging and rinsing, and the side handles let you slide the whole bin aside to mop the floor. The matte silver steel wipes clean in seconds.

How does a split step bin compare?
vs. two separate cans
Two cans double the floor space. One split bin keeps trash and recycling side by side in a single footprint.
vs. an open recycling basket
Open baskets show the mess. A lidded bin hides cans and bottles and helps contain odors.
vs. a single-compartment step can
One bucket mixes everything together. Two buckets make sorting automatic.

Sleek design, easy to use, easy to clean.
I was drawn to this dual-compartment garbage can as it seemed like an efficient solution for saving space by combining both garbage and recycling bins. The design allows for easy removal of the inner cans and straightforward cleaning, which is a definite plus. However, my experience has been less than ideal. The challenge lies in finding bags that fit the compartments perfectly. Unfortunately, this has proven to be quite a task, making the overall usage less convenient. Additionally, the size of the smaller can seems a bit too restrictive for our household's garbage and recycling needs. It may be better suited for those with a more uneven ratio of waste to recyclables. While the concept is innovative, the practicality falls short in terms of bag compatibility and size adequacy for our specific usage. It might be a better fit for households with a different waste disposal dynamic.
