Waste Separation Made Simple: With 3 compartments side by side for this trash can， your recycling， waste， and food scraps can all be sorted in one receptacle.When your hands are full of onion skins or browned banana peels， just step on the pedal of the garbage can to open the lid， without the need to touch the lid. The lid closes silently and softly without slamming shut.When It’s time for emptying， easily lift the inner bucket using the metal handles. The stainless steel body is fingerprint-resistant and easy to clean for minimum maintenance.
