A contactless step trash can is practical on several levels. For one, it’s keeping hands from touching unnecessary surfaces, which means less of the germs that carry colds and fewer of the hand-washings that dry out skin. Contactless also means you won’t have to devise a complicated strategy for single-handedly opening a garbage bin while juggling a cutting board’s worth of potato peels, carrot skins, and broccoli stalks. The square form factor makes it handy to sneak this large trash can into a kitchen corner, and the clean stainless steel finish with black plastic accents meshes with most modern designs.
