Best trash can for your kitchen is stainless steel and features a foot lever action to open the lid with a bonus soft close. We are very happy with this trash can. Up to this point we had an open trashcan that would stink the house up when there was disgusting trash in it. Now, with the self closing lid, the trash can contains the stink within itself.
We had rotten garlic cloves that were horrendous and made you want to gag. The lid was closed and we didn’t smell it one bit. It was a different story each time we threw something else out and had to open the lid. And then it was a huge Fear Factor(opens in a new window) challenge trying to discard of the trash.

Trash Bag Placement
The trash bags that I use are the Glad ForceFlex Tall Kitchen Trash Bags can be purchased here on Amazon(opens in a new window). These are perfect for the trashcan as they match the height and opening exactly. To insert the trash bag, pull the black can out a little place the bag within it. Wrap the bag around the edges of the can and pull the bag through the elastic rubber strap on the side of the can. Then place the black trash can within its bin and there you go! EASY PEASY!
- FORCEFLEX TECHNOLOGY: Glad’s trusted ForceFlex technology allows the bag to stretch and expand over heavy loads with sharp edges, delivering reliable strength; packaging may vary
- ADVANCED STRETCH: Glad ForceFlex Tall Kitchen Drawstring Trash Bags feature advanced stretch and strength to prevent rips, tears and leaks without compromise
- FRAGRANCE FREE: Perfect for those who prefer no added scents, these fragrance free trash bags provide odor control without overpowering fragrances

The style of the trash can matches our refrigerator, which is a shade of stainless steel. This is a great buy and will not only hide the trash and recycles but will contain the smell as well. This trash can will not disappoint you!
