High-Performance Voice And Motion Control

Life is messy! That's why we develop sensor technologies that offer quicker, more efficient access to our cans, removing friction and effort from the task.

Whisper Quiet

The planetary gear motor drive is built to last and near silent. At 52 decibels, it's barely a whisper.

I Hear You!

It only takes one microphone for accurate voice recognition, even in loud, busy environments. Just say, “open can” — or you can say, “stay open” for longer chores then “close can” when you are finished with your task.

An Elegant Recycling Solution

Our dual compartment option makes sorting trash look good! Each side has a generous capacity, and emptying is easy with a plastic bucket on the recycling side and a liner pocket in the trash compartment.

Streamlining The Task

Our liner rim system makes trash faster and neater. Simply lift the lid for easy access, then close it to keep the liner tidy and out of sight.

Keep Liners Where You Need Them

Our liner pocket makes it easy to store a 20 pack of custom fit liners inside the can so you never have to reach for them.

Dispense Liners Inside The Can

Our liner pocket dispenses liners one by one quickly and easily for a faster liner change.

Cleaner Stainless Steel

Our invisible silver-ion coating resists fingerprints and the spread of germs without dulling the natural sheen and luster of the steel (brushed stainless steel models).

Perfect Fit — Extra Strong

Our code H custom fit liners fit this can perfectly so there's no bunching, slipping or messy bag overhang for a neater, cleaner look. They are also extra-thick and double-seamed so you can pack your trash to the rim without rips, leaks or tears.

Optional Compost Caddy

Add our compost caddy to your trash-sorting routine — it conveniently docks on the side of this trash can encouraging you to separate organics from trash, making waste management even more efficient.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Clean stainless steel weekly with a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent. DO NOT use steel wool, stainless steel polisher, bleach, salts or acids as these will damage the product. Or use our microfiber mitt, which just uses water on one side to wash and the other dry side to wipe and polish. Our stickers should not leave residue, but if this happens, remove using adhesive removers such as “Goo-Gone®”, “Un-du®” or “De-solv-it®”. Be sure to rinse the area with water and dry with a soft cloth.
