Two bins in one footprint, each closing softly so nobody hears a slam.

At a Glance

  • Capacity: 16 gallons total, two 8-gallon compartments
  • Material: Stainless steel body with a matte silver finish
  • Operation: Step pedal, hands-free lid on each side
  • Lid: Slow-close mechanism prevents slamming
  • Liners: Two removable inner liner buckets for easy bag changes

This two-section step bin splits 16 gallons of total capacity into two separate 8-gallon compartments, so trash and recycling stay sorted without two separate cans taking up floor space. A stainless steel body wraps a slow-close lid and a hands-free step pedal on each side.

Key Features

  • Two 8-gallon compartments: 16 gallons total capacity split for trash on one side and recycling on the other
  • Stainless steel body: a matte silver finish that wipes clean and resists fingerprints better than gloss
  • Slow-close lid mechanism: the lid lowers gently instead of slamming shut
  • Step pedal on each side: hands-free operation for both compartments
  • Two removable inner liner buckets: lift out each plastic liner to change bags without touching the outer shell
  • Built-in side carry handles: move the bin room to room without straining your back

What's Included

In the box: one 2-section stainless steel step trash and recycling bin with two removable inner liner buckets.

Before You Buy

  • Elama backs this bin with a straightforward 90-day limited warranty. It covers defects in materials and workmanship, with no third-party plan to activate.
  • At 26 in tall, it will not clear a standard 24 to 25 in under-counter cabinet opening. Measure your cabinet or corner space before ordering since this bin is meant to stand on the floor, not tuck under a counter.
  • Only the outer shell and lid are stainless steel, the two inner liner buckets are plastic. The plastic liners still lift out easily for bag changes, they simply are not stainless like the visible shell.

Perfect For

  • A kitchen that wants trash and recycling sorted in one footprint
  • Households replacing two mismatched cans with one matching stainless bin
  • A pantry, laundry room, or garage corner with floor space for one taller bin
  • Anyone who wants hands-free, step-pedal operation on both compartments
  • Apartments and condos with local recycling rules that require separation at the source

Care & Use

  • Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove fingerprints.
  • Lift out the plastic inner liners to change bags or rinse them out as needed.
  • Avoid abrasive scrubbers on the stainless finish, they can scratch the surface.
  • Check the slow-close lid hinge periodically to keep it operating smoothly.

Shipping

This bin ships boxed with both inner liners in place. Ships fast from CurbGo with tracking.

Why this bin works

Two bins in one footprint

Trash and recycling cans often end up as two mismatched containers crowding a kitchen corner. This bin splits 16 gallons into two separate 8-gallon compartments in one stainless shell, so sorting happens without doubling the floor space.

A lid that never slams

A banging lid is a small annoyance that adds up over a hundred trips a week. The slow-close mechanism here lowers gently every time, on both compartments, so late-night kitchen trips stay quiet.

Hands-free on both sides

Carrying dishes to the trash with full hands usually means bumping a lid open with an elbow. Step pedals on both compartments open each lid hands-free, so trash and recycling both stay a simple step away.

The numbers that matter

A tall, two-section stainless bin built to sort at the source.

2 Step pedals, one per compartment

How does this compare to two separate cans or a single large bin?

vs. two separate trash cans

Two mismatched cans take up more floor space and rarely match in finish. This bin combines both into one stainless shell with a shared footprint.

vs. a single large trash can

A single bin with no divider means trash and recyclables mix unless someone sorts by hand. This bin's built-in divider keeps both streams separate from the start.

vs. a sensor or touchless lid

Sensor lids add batteries and electronics that can fail. This bin uses a simple step pedal and slow-close hinge on each side, with nothing to charge or replace.

FAQs

Common questions that customers ask

How many total gallons does this trash can hold?

16 gallons total, split into two separate 8-gallon compartments.

Is the whole bin stainless steel, or are the inner buckets plastic?

The outer shell and lids are stainless steel. The two removable inner liner buckets are PP and ABS plastic, not stainless.

How tall is this trash can, will it fit under my counter?

It stands 26 inches tall and is designed to stand on the floor. It will not fit under a standard 24 to 25 inch under-counter cabinet opening.

Can I use standard kitchen trash bags in each compartment?

Yes, each of the two 8-gallon compartments takes a standard kitchen trash bag in its removable liner bucket.

Does the lid really stay quiet, or does it still bang shut?

The slow-close mechanism lowers the lid gently on both compartments instead of letting it slam.

What is the warranty if a part breaks?

Elama backs this bin with a 90-day limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
