simple human to the rescue … again
I recently acquired a small townhouse and found myself in need of a solution for kitchen trash and recycling. Just when I thought nothing would work in the small space I came across this and immediately ordered it with fingers crossed. It solves the problem without being overly intrusive. Highly recommend for small spaces everywhere.

Simple Human Mini Recycler Step Can
The step lid is nice. The bins are so very small it's hard to fit anything in them! Not worth the money.

Perfect for small kitchen
I love this dual trash/recycling can! It’s perfect for my small kitchen. Takes up very little space, attractive, and excellent functionality. I purchased it to free up a cabinet that was being used by two large pullout trash and recycling bins. I needed the cabinet space for other things than trash and recycling! This was the solution! Perfect.

Mini Recycler
I knew it was a mini recycler, but I didn’t know it was this small. It looks great. I love the design, but it just seems like there’s a lot of wasted space in the interior of the trashcan and it makes the mini compartments even smaller.

The usual simple human quality I expected is there, based on other products I have owned, but this mini recycler is really small…. …. . challenge to fit much in it.

It looks good in my kitchen
The piece is nice, in my opinion, the compartments could be a little larger. Maybe you can increase the depth.

just a bit too small
Nicely made, but a bit too small for our needs. We drink a lot of water from 16. 9 oz plastic bottles, and this only fits about 6-7 of them in the recycling component. Unfortunately, the 58L version is a bit too large - it would be great if there were an in-between size available, particularly if one could have options for the relative sizes of the recycling and trash c...

It's not very big. . .
For some reason, I didn't pay attention to the pictures of the mini-recycler step can when I was purchasing it. It is indeed mini! I also didn't realize that it was divided so that 1 side is for trash and the other is for recycling. I wish I had. It will do the trick as a place for us to put bottles, cans, etc. for recycling, but unfortunately, it's not quite what I hop...

Mini recycler
Excellent product for a small space. I use it in my very small kitchen. I tried using other trash bags but I can actually get more waste in the basket when using the bags made for the mini recycler.

Perfect size for small apt/small kitchen
This is the only trash/recyclable can that I could find for our kitchen. Love the design and especially the interior spot for extra trash bags. Brilliant!

Elegant Canister Design Hampered by Fragile Refill System
The canister's construction is aesthetically pleasing, however, the plastic dowels that secure the refill bag holder are fragile and prone to breakage. The design flaw often resulting in the dowels snapping. This deficiency in the design of an otherwise robust canister significantly detracts from its overall functionality and durability. I bought three of these + a repl...

I like the fact that I have recycle and trash containers, BUT, much smaller than I anticipated.

Good. Wish it had more flexibility.
This trash can looks and functions great.I wish it had an option for a single bucket. This size is perfect for small kitchens if it was not divided in half.
