Simplehuman Butterfly Step Can
Best compact waste solution for small kitchens with low clearance.
This split-lid design is the ultimate solution for tight under-counter spaces where traditional swing-top cans fail. You sacrifice a bit of internal volume for that clever clearance, but the ultra-durable pedal and fingerprint-proof finish make it a permanent, low-maintenance upgrade for your kitchen.
