The Rubbermaid 13G Classic Black Step-On is a touch-free, simple solution for your kitchen waste. The plastic foot pedal allows for hands-free operation to reduce the spread of germs. The Linerlock(TM) bands hold liner bags in place to prevent slipping and messes. While the container is ideal for kitchen waste, it is also versatile and durable and could be used for pet food or recycling.

I bought this 8 months ago and the opening/closing plastic piece that holds the metal on the lid has already broke apart causing it to no longer work. The grey trash bag holder has already popped out of place too. I may buy another one in hopes I just got a poorly constructed one. I had this exact trashcan for 7 years and it worked perfectly until the plastic broke then I replaced it with the one I bought on Amazon.

Did not have any of the issues mentioned in reviews for this model. Lid arrived attached and in working order. Stickers came off easily. No scuffs, dents or scratches. Came wrapped securely. Arms work as expected without any issues. Lid closes as expected. Is a light plastic so can move when stepping but, ours is against a wall so not an issue. I would not have paid full price but was on sale at 50% off. Original price of $50 is a bit much for a trash can. Especially one of lighter type molded plastic. Some of the reviews and videos are for the other models as well which I think added to some confusion in some of these reviews. The basic model has a plastic step not metal for example.

This garbage bin is nice and is a good size for family kitchen use for organic waste. I am glad that my wife is happy!

I've had this for about 2 months total and it's so annoying. The grey "band" is plastic and won't stay. It's supposed to help keep the bag in and not slip when the bag has trash in it. Except the band comes out of their slots very easily and one side is flippy-floppy. Also, the foot level is slanted, and so when you hold it down it slides, regardless if you have shoes on or not. So it slides away from you when you try to hold the lid open with your foot to throw trash away. It's very annoying. It's too late to return it, but I'll be looking for a better-designed trash can for the kitchen. I wouldn't buy this honestly. Not if you want it for the kitchen. It's not very stable and is easily knocked over. Not a fan.

I found myself whining about not being able to install the lid and just assumed since I'm 76 years old it must be me. Then I looked at the 1* reviews and found out I am far from the only one with this issue. I'm sure the Rubbermaid folks have a lovely tool to do just that or one guy they call godzilla. Oh well, guess I'm going to get used to a lidless trashcan.......

I bought these so my cantankerous cat wouldn’t chew on the plastic trash can liner bags that would hang over the outside top edge of my previous kitchen trash cans…! These work perfectly because the trash can liner bags get tucked underneath a removable rim underneath the lid of the trash can, so Kitty can’t chew on it, and the trash can liner bags are not visible when the lid is shut closed. Also like the durable foot-operated manual lid-opener, for no-hands ability to open up the lid! Also, the lid will stay in an open position if you prefer for easy access, by just opening the lid with your hand to the upright position. I also like that these are very lightweight, being plastic, and are easily washed out. I bought two of these trash cans, in different colors: one for trash and one for recycling.

Very flimsy, broke after a month. Customer support non existent. Amazon customer support also very unhelpful.

This is good in the sense that it's quality plastic, pedal works well, and lid seems stable. But one of the features I initially liked best about it turned out to be the one that broke it, and that is the handles on the inside of the can. These are made to help hold the trash bag in place and prevent it from sliding down into the can itself. Great idea, and very useful...until one or both of those handles breaks. Then it makes putting the trash bag into the can very difficult, and the bag is no longer held in place. When the handles broke on the one I purchased, I went to Target and bought a stainless steel one that I like much better. This is a great trash can as long as the handles are stable.

My first one of these cans was almost by accident. I went to a local big-box store hoping to find a stainless kitchen trash can made in the USA or Canada to replace the one I lost in a fire at my former home.Sadly there were no metal kitchen cans on the shelf that were made in the Western Hemisphere, so I settled for this can which was the most robust looking of the available options that were made in the USA.After 7 years this can is still working well. It holds the liners well, the lid opens easily by hand or with the foot pedal and it remains in the open position if you want. It uses standard 13 gallon liners. The lid lifting mechanism has some metal parts, it pivots easily and stays connected to the can.I won’t detail all the ways a trash container with a foot operated lid can fail, if you’ve had them I’m sure you know well enough. If you want to support a USA based business and still get a can that will last a decade or more, this one should be a good fit.I recently bought another from Amazon because they aren’t available locally anymore. The new one arrived a little deformed from shipping and the lid didn’t fully close. After a few days in a warm room it looks and works just fine.

Fits a regular green garbage bag. Excellent band around the inside to hold the bag securely in place. Lip around outside makes it easy to carry through the house when it's time to put the garbage in the outside bin. Small footprint so it doesn't take up much space. Foot pedal holds the top up so I can scrape off the counter or cutting board.
