Elama 40L Stainless Steel Step Trash & Recycling Bin – 6.6 Gal + 3.9 Gal Split Compartments, Slow-Close Lid, Hands-Free Pedal (Silver)

One bin. Two streams. Zero hands. The Elama 40-Liter Step Trash & Recycling Bin sorts your kitchen waste into a 6.6-gallon trash compartment and a 3.9-gallon recycling compartment behind one clean stainless-steel face. A hands-free foot pedal opens the slow-close lid for quiet, mess-free disposal — no more lifted lids, no more slamming, no more deciding between “trash or recycling” at the curb.

Why it works

If you’ve been balancing a separate recycling bin next to your kitchen trash, this hands-free dual-compartment trash can consolidates both into a single sleek footprint. The split-bucket design makes it easy to lift only the recycling for curbside pickup without disturbing trash, and the soft-close lid keeps the kitchen quiet during late-night cleanup. Stainless steel resists fingerprints, scratches, and odor transfer better than plastic bins.

Care & cleaning

• Wipe stainless exterior with a soft cloth and stainless-steel cleaner
• Inner buckets are removable — rinse with mild dish soap and air-dry before re-inserting
• Use standard kitchen drawstring bags sized for each compartment
