Overview
A 13-gallon rectangular step trash can from Glad with a Clorox-treated lid for odor control, a hands-free foot pedal and interior rings that hold the bag in place.
The odor control lives in the lid material itself rather than a separate filter, so it works for the life of the can rather than needing a cartridge replacement. Interior bag rings are meant to stop a liner from slipping down or overhanging the rim, and the whole unit is plastic rather than metal, which keeps it light and simple to wipe down.
- 13 gallon rectangular capacity
- Clorox-treated lid for ongoing odor protection
- Hands-free foot pedal
- Interior bag rings hold liners in place
Who it's for
Fits a kitchen, office or basement that wants a hands-free step can at a lower price point than a metal alternative, with both 13-gallon and larger 30-gallon bags reported to fit. Not the pick for someone who wants the lid to close on its own after stepping off the pedal, based on what buyers actually experienced.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers consistently liked the hands-free pedal, the odor control in the lid, and that the bag rings make liner changes easy without stretching a bag by hand; several also confirmed both 13 and 30 gallon bags fit. The recurring complaint is that the lid stays open once triggered and must be pushed shut by hand rather than closing on its own, and one buyer found the pedal needed a hard step to lift the lid at all. A repeat buyer also noted their second unit had a lid that sat crooked when the pedal was pressed, unlike their first.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Odor-blocking lid works without a separate filter
- Bag rings keep 13 or 30 gallon liners from slipping
- Ships fully assembled
- Sturdy steel pedal reported by most buyers
- Lid does not spring shut on its own, needs a manual push to close
- One buyer found the pedal stiff and hard to press
- Build consistency varies between units, per one buyer who ordered two
Performance notes
The foot pedal lifts the lid through a lever mechanism rather than a gas spring, which several buyers found responsive and sturdy while at least one found stiff and hard to lift. The lid is designed to stay open once fully depressed rather than spring closed the moment the pedal is released, so closing it again after use takes a manual push in some buyers' experience rather than an automatic drop.
