EKO Essential 8+8 Gallon Dual Trash Can, Kitchen Step Recycle Trash Can with Dual Removable Bucket, Independent Lids and Pedals, Brushed Stainless Steel

I am surprisingly pleased with this dual garbage and recycling bin. This is the third one I've purchased. The first two I returned because they were too small.Grant, you, I have not had it for long, but i'm so happy I took a chance on this one. This bin looks so nice next my to my kitchen and I like the one step pedal.The only downfall that I've found so far is that when you want it to stay open, the latch is to difficult for me, so I use small needle nose pleirs. Works for me. Great product so this is not a deal breaker.

love how there are two components with MORE THAN ENOUGH space. easy to put the trash bag in (it even came with one!). lock feature works rly well to stabilize the bin, very good value for money, looks very slay. stable and amazing product.

I like the even size bins for trash and recycle as I find I have more recycle these days than trash. Sturdy. Love the side handles as I did not have them on previous bin.

This is absolutely the exact same can that is sold as the Rubbermaid Dual Stream Step-on. I know, because I replaced that Rubbermaid model with this one after the lid broke. So, I can tell you that the can is mostly good - the trash side bin is big enough, and the recycling side is acceptable, but could be better. The downside is going to be the same issue that plagues the Rubbermaid (as it's clearly the same model): the lid will eventually snap and break.There is a LOT of stress put on the plastic around the screw holes that hold the lid on. Over time, that plastic weakens and it snaps. It took nearly 3 years for the Rubbermaid to break, so I'm hoping this one lasts at least that long. I limped it along an extra month by JB Welding the cracked portions and reinforcing it with an old credit card, but it eventually failed again, necessitating it's replacement.I picked the "EKO" brand because it was half the price, and I thought from the pictures that it looked remarkably similar. That hunch was correct. You can even compare the plastic extruding marks between the two and they are the same. The Rubbermaid doesn't have the spot for the charcoal filter, but you can see in the plastic an outline where that part can be molded into the lid. The bins are the same, just different colors. Same holes in the bins to hold the bags, same metal handle on the recycling side.So, if you want the RM one, you might as well just buy this one and save the money.

So happy with this purchase. Quality material, built to last, stylish design and at an affordable price. I love that the garbage can is bigger than the recycling and the fact that the recycling bin comes with smaller bags.

Very convenient to have both the recycled bin and trash bin together. Takes up less space. Good quality 👌

Let me start by saying I rarely if ever write poor reviews. Stuff happens and nothing is perfect. When initially purchased, this can was not inexpensive. Really liked it for the first year or so, then it started functioning awkwardly - lid not opening consistently. This is a trash can that’s not used daily as it’s at our cabin so it’s used at most 30-40% of the time. Because it has a three year warranty, I reached out to the company - got to the UK customer service. They were terrific: friendly and very responsive. Sadly, we are in the US and their customer service is non-existent. You call the number and they are never available. If you’re lucky they will call you back. Took forever to get an initial response and then they said their warehouse was moving so they couldn’t respond. I had to keep checking back over the course of a few months. Finally they said the replacement parts are out of stock with no sense of when they would be available - offered me 15% off a new can. I could get 10% just for signing up for emails. Amazon tried to help by providing an alternate number (turns out it was for their legal dept) which was disconnected. US buyer beware.

Had a small dent at the corner but no need to return it it's for the garage recycling still happy with my purchase.
