Set Contains: 1 x simplehuman 40L white plastic bin, 1 x 5 year warranty card Review: Love It! - Just got my "Slim Jim" kitchen trash bin today, but so far I'm a happy camper! Bin was exactly as I expected and arrived with no damage. Was relieved that it also was pre-assembled as some people have reported problems with attaching the lid. Biggest challenge was figuring out how to unlock the "Pet Lock" on the lid. Don't know if mine was particularly snug or what, but it took a while to figure out how to disengage it. I'm not sure what I finally did that was successful after about five minutes of pushing,/pulling/prying this way and that. I got the "Stone" color. As others have noted, the color is definitely a light grey (kinda industrial), not beige/light tan. *Wish* the company *would* make an almond/off-white one or make this one in the "mocha" color they offer on other models. If you have brown cabinetry, biscuit appliances, etc., an off-white or brown shade would be more complementary. I didn't buy the SimpleHuman garbage bags that are designed for this unit. A white tall kitchen bin bag I already have two boxes of work fine. You do have to allow a couple inches clearance at the back so the hinged lid can open without rubbing against the wall. You also have to allow maybe 1/4" clearance on the side as if you put the bin next to an appliance/cabinetry the lid/unit is wider than the base and if you don't "scootch" the bin over a bit from a side wall, the lid won't clear. No biggie, unless the space you have available is very tight. PROS: Nice quality, pleasing design. Like the fact the bin has a foot pedal and an "auto-close" feature which means essentially the unit is "hands-free." With the pedal/hinge on the the narrow side you get maximum storage capacity, with a slim profile that fits into tighter spaces. Nice it has wheels on the back, but they are of no value/use to me. Ditto for the pet lock. Didn't have to pay an arm and a leg. Another unit I was looking at would have cost me over 100 bucks. (For a stupid kitchen trash bin!!!) CONS: Color selection. "Pet Lock" and lid/hinge "installation" can be tricky though I was lucky/figured it out. BOTTOM LINE: Good value for the money (at least to date). How durable it is in the long run remains to be seen, but so far I am very pleased. This one was attractive, priced right, had several features that are found on much more expensive models, and was of the right size/dimensions for my needs. UPDATE: The Stone (grey) color was really getting on my nerves from an aesthetic standpoint. Picked up a can of off-white spray paint designed to be used on plastics. Taped off the handle, hinges, wheels, pedals, etc. and went for it. Now I have a great trash can that now looks equally nice as it complements the floor, cabinets, appliances in my kitchen instead of sticking out like a sore thumb color-wise. Woo-hoo!!! Very, very, happy camper, now. :) Review: 想像通りの品物でした - 分別用に2点購入しました。 大きさや素材感は思っていた通りの品物で満足しています。 難点としては、中にキャスター部分などの凹凸があるので洗いにくそうです。 蓋の取り付けは、かなり固いのですが、思っていたよりも簡単にはまりました。 2点中の1点は、開梱して蓋をビニールから出したところ、蓋の表に縦の線が入っていました。よく見たら裏にも入っていたので、ヒビだと思います。 蓋の入っていたビニール袋もオリジナルのものではなかったのも気になり、1点はそのまま返品し、再度、購入しました。 ## Features - SILENT CLOSE LID - simplehuman's patented lid shox technology controls the motion of the lid for a slow, silent close. - LOCK THE LID SHUT - A slide lock securely locks the lid to help keep pets and curious children from getting into the trash. - SLIM, SPACE-SAVING SHAPE - Designed to make the most of tight spaces. - STAY-OPEN LID - The lid stays open for as long as you like — perfect for longer chores. - BUILT-IN WHEELS - Built-in wheels make the can easy to move. - CUSTOM FIT LINERS - simplehuman's code K liners are designed to fit this can perfectly so they don't slip. Extra-thick plastic and double-seam construction prevent rips and tears. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004L9L3IO | | Additional Features | Slide Lock | | Best Sellers Rank | #65,262 in Home ( See Top 100 in Home ) #485 in Kitchen Waste Bins | | Brand | simplehuman | | Brand Name | simplehuman | | Capacity | 40 liters | | Color | White Plastic | | Colour | White Plastic | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,171 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Finish Type | Painted | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00838810012797 | | Included Components | Bin | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 47.2L x 25.7W x 63.2H centimeters | | Item Type Name | 40L slim plastic pedal bin | | Item Weight | 2.8 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | simplehuman | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Opening Mechanism | Step-On | | Opening mechanism | Step-On | | Recommended Uses For Product | Kitchen | | Recommended uses for product | Kitchen | | Room Type | Cocina,Kitchen | | Shape | Rectangular | | UPC | 838810012797 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** simplehuman - **Capacity:** 40 liters - **Colour:** White Plastic - **Material:** Plastic - **Opening mechanism:** Step-On ## Images ![simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can With Secure Slide Lock, White Plastic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41hhJhWMZyL.jpg) ![simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can With Secure Slide Lock, White Plastic - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lvWuKqFjL.jpg) ![simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can With Secure Slide Lock, White Plastic - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51G69UykmPL.jpg) ![simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can With Secure Slide Lock, White Plastic - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41XQiHntYoL.jpg) ![simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can With Secure Slide Lock, White Plastic - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41xjfwGTIAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: JUST GIVEGIVE ME DIMENSIONS IN ALL YOUR PRODUCT & SAY if it's "width" "depth" or height" You make me struggle to find this info and it's important!!!** A: Height= 21 inches with top closed. Width is 11 inches. Depth is 19 allowing for where top affixes plus foot opener. Hope this helps. **Q: Do all models of this brand require custom trash bags?** A: None of the models "require" the SimpleHuman bags. For this particular model, I use regular kitchen trash bags and they fit great! **Q: Please tell me how to attach the lid? I am going to send this back if I cant figure it out.. Im frustrated, pls help** A: This is a 4/2021 purchase. My roommate and I just spent an hour trying to get the lid on. After reading these comments I think the company is being kinda unprofessional about the whole thing. If you read down far enough you'll see their response... a web address which is, yep you guessed it, Oops. Our bad. This isnt here anymore... then sends you to a promo site for the trash cans you didn't buy. But Yes. The upside down hint (below) works. One hinge slipped on as soon as we got it in place. The other took a tap from a hammer (I'm a real philistine... I did not bother with a cloth cover. But nothing untoward seemed to happen.) It seems to me that since the upside down instructions work, the company could at least include them in the box. Otherwise it seems like a good trash can. **Q: Could you tell me the dimensions, primarily the width? Thank you.** A: Its about 9 inches across at its widest point and tapers off to the back at approximately 7.5 inches. Hope that helps :-) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love It! *by R***R on 6 January 2019* Just got my "Slim Jim" kitchen trash bin today, but so far I'm a happy camper!

I didn't even realize the wheels on the back, so that convenient for moving it around. Would be nice if there were clips to hold the bag down better but it still stays in place. I like it, I'm happy. Oh and the lid can lock, perfect for Snoopy kitties ## Frequently Bought Together - simplehuman 40 Liter / 10.6 Gallon Slim Kitchen Step Trash Can With Secure Slide Lock, White Plastic - Plasticplace Custom Fit Trash Bags, Compatible with simplehuman Code K Packs, White Drawstring Garbage Liners 10 Gallon, 24'' x 28'' (20 Count/5 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/285015827-simplehuman-40-liter-10-6-gallon-slim-kitchen-step-trash](https://www.desertcart.be/products/285015827-simplehuman-40-liter-10-6-gallon-slim-kitchen-step-trash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
