Recycler

Simplehuman's Recycler is a dual-compartment steel bin with a soft-close lid, a fingerprint-proof brushed finish, and an internal frame that holds a custom-sized liner without slipping. The two 30-litre compartments split trash from recycling without doubling the counter footprint. The lid is nano-silver treated to resist fingerprints and germs; the pedal is engineered for a decade of stomping. There is a strip magnet on the side for the roll of liners so you never have to hunt for a bag. It's the bin for a kitchen that gets used every day — a small piece of appliance-grade engineering doing an unglamorous job with real care.

California maker of over-engineered household staples.
