Delay-sensing technology helps save battery life and keeps the bin from opening when something passes by.  

This 13-gallon Simplehuman step trash can blends function with thoughtful design. The semi-round shape sits flush against the wall, while the sturdy step pedal and patented lid technology deliver a smooth, silent close.
