Kohler 8L / 2 Gal Slim Stainless Steel Step Trash Can, Quiet-Close Lid, Fingerprint Resistant

Add convenient waste disposal to bathrooms, home offices, and other compact spaces with the Kohler 8L / 2 Gal Slim Step Trash Can. Its elongated, space-saving profile is designed to fit neatly against walls or cabinets and works especially well in narrow areas such as beside a toilet.

The lid offers two convenient ways to open: gently push it by hand or use the sturdy foot pedal for hands-free operation. Kohler's Quiet-Close lid then closes gently and silently.

Inside, a removable plastic liner features built-in tabs that secure plastic shopping bags in place, allowing common grocery-style bags to be reused as liners. A fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish helps maintain a cleaner appearance, while an anti-slide base provides additional stability during everyday use.

Backed by a Kohler 10-Year Limited Warranty, this compact step can combines a slim footprint with practical features for small-space waste disposal.

Why It Stands Out

The Kohler 8L Step Trash Can is specifically designed to provide practical waste disposal without taking up unnecessary floor space.

Its slim, elongated footprint and 6.94" listed width make it particularly suited to narrow areas. Kohler specifically identifies small spaces such as a home office or next to a toilet as intended applications.

The lid also offers more flexibility than a conventional pedal-only trash can. It can be opened with the push of a finger or by using the foot pedal, allowing convenient access whether the user is sitting or standing.

After use, Kohler's Quiet-Close technology allows the lid to close gently and silently.

Inside, the removable plastic liner includes built-in tabs that secure plastic shopping bags, making it possible to reuse common grocery-style bags instead of requiring a specialized liner for the stated application.

A fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish helps keep the exterior looking cleaner, while the anti-slide base helps stabilize the can during everyday pedal operation.

The complete design is backed by a 10-Year Limited Warranty.
