The Top 10 Kitchen Trash Cans to Keep Your Space Tidy

There's a reason this trash can has over 8,000 reviews—a secure liner rim that holds your liner in place (and keeps it hidden), a liner pocket to keep trash bags on hand when you need them, and lid shox technology to keep the lid quiet, without any banging or loud noise, are just a few of the many reasons. They've also eliminated the need for an inner waste bin bucket, so you maximize trash capacity, making room for 25 percent more trash. The stainless steel will add a sleek touch to your kitchen.

It is entirely possible to find a quality trash can under $40, and this is your best bet. The touch-top lid springs open for quick access, while LinerLock bag wires secure the trash can to the rim to prevent it from slipping. The 13 gallon capacity means you'll be changing the bag way less frequently, too.

If you want the most hygienic trash can possible, this completely touchless model is your new favorite kitchen tool. The motion of your hand opens the lid automatically, and it even has a natural carbon odor filter to keep your home smelling fresh and clean. Thanks to an extra-wide 12 inch opening, you can easily toss your bulkier trash items (like those pizza boxes).

Equipped with a foot pedal for hands-free usage, this rectangular piece is designed to fit right into your space—even the awkward, angular corners, thanks to its clean-line design. Take it from one of the hundreds of reviewers who gave this bin five stars: "Never thought I’d love a trash can so much! So happy about my purchase," writes one customer. "I love how sleek and clean it looks, it’s perfect for my kitchen."

We're forever fans of this simple, clean design—and it's also totally effective. Keep your garbage bag hidden thanks to the swing top, and you won't have to worry about a foot pedal breaking over time with this one, either—just drop your trash and go. The venti can hold 20 or 30 gallon bags, so you'll be good on taking out the trash for a while.

Available in colors like mint green and tomato red for a pop of brightness, this durable trash can is more than just a functional kitchen necessity. A plastic protective rim prevents floor damage, and the metal lid is completely removable so you can take out the trash and replace the bag easily. Speaking of, there's an extra perk: Brabantia includes a liner with every bin purchase.

If you want to make sure your garbage can isn't the eyesore of your kitchen, you need this simplehuman retro trash can. The vintage style is sleek and streamlined (and would match perfectly with your other SMEG appliances), but it also totally performs. The pedal is engineered to last over 150,000 steps, and the lid closes slowly and silently, so you don't have to annoy your whole household with loud bangs. Stainless steel side handles make this can super easy to move around.

It can hold up to 21.1 gallons of trash and you'll never have to get your hands dirty to use it: This stainless steel find ticks all the boxes. Thanks to a motion sensor, it's completely hands-free.

With over 10,000 5-star reviews, this 50-liter bin is a clear customer favorite. We suspect that might have something to do with the noiseless lid and finger-proof stainless steel exterior—if you have kids or pets and want to avoid constant cleaning, it's a great option.

Looking for a more luxe option (well, as luxe as a garbage bin can get)? This sleek step-on trash can has a quiet and gentle closing mechanism, and because it's a slimmer fit, it's perfect for squeezing into tight corners in a smaller kitchen.
