Multiple Compartments
Multiple compartments let you store recyclables and waste in one easy to access place before dumping it into your curbside bin. Each compartment of this 16-gallon dual trash can with lid consists of 2 x 8-gallon departments. These sizes should be big enough to accommodate at least one or two days of trash and recyclables.
It is not recommended to throw both waste and recyclable items into one outside trash can. Rather invest in an outside rubbish bin that supports recyclables and waste.
Stainless steel
When deciding on a dual trash can the first thing you should look at is what type of material the bin is made from. Stainless steel should be the obvious choice because it is easier to clean and will blend in with your kitchen décor. The Organize it All 16 Gallon Dual Trash Can is manufactured from stainless steel materials to:
- Prolong the lifespan of this model
- Make it easier to clean
- To fit any kitchen décor
Dual trash cans like the Simplehuman 26 Gallon Dual Trash Can is engineered with a single lid for both trash and recycling departments, while the Organize it all 16 Gallon Dual Trash Can is manufactured with independent lids for both departments.
With these independent lids, each compartment can separately be emptied, open or closed. Both lids are made from solid black plastic to reduce fingerprint and smudge marks.
Dual step pedals
For easy identification of each department, these dual step pedals have been color-coded. One blue pedal for waste and one green step pedal for the recyclable department.
The advantage of using dual step pedals also prolongs the lifespan of the individual pedals. When using only one step pedal for both recyclable and waste compartment chances are that it can wear out quicker.
Dual removable buckets and handles
The Organize it All 16 Gallon Trash Can also feature two removable 
inner buckets for easy transportation and emptying of waste. These buckets also prevent residue from accumulating on the inside of the bin.
Also for easy transportation of recyclables and waste, both buckets come with stainless steel handles. This is to prevent unnecessary waste from spilling on your floors. These buckets are easy to clean and can also be replaced in case of accidental damage.
Non-skid base
To protect your flooring from scratches Organize it All has attached a thick rubber non-skid base on the bottom of the bin. This is also to prevent the bin from moving around whenever you take out the trash or stepping on the pedals.
