Overview
Stepping on the pedal lifts the lid on these Hefty plastic bins, so scraps go in without touching the top. The pack includes a pair of rectangular grey cans meant for kitchen, garage or home office waste and recycling.
Getting a matched pair lets one can handle trash and the other recycling in the same room. Weak points are in the listing itself: the title says touch top while the specs say step-on, and the description mentions bronze against a grey color.
Who it's for
Kitchens, garages and home offices with room for a pair of mid-size bins get a matched set for sorting waste. Households that want one tall bin or an odor seal should look further, since no seal is listed.
Pros and cons
- Pair of matching cans in one pack
- Hands-free step-on lid
- Rectangular shape lines up against walls
- Suited to waste and recycling
- Lid type described inconsistently
- Finish color described inconsistently
- Item weight not listed
- Plastic, not stainless steel
Performance notes
The pedal works through a linkage to the lid, so the lid opens only as reliably as that linkage holds up over repeated use. Plastic makes the bins light to move but can scuff in a garage. A rectangular footprint lets each can rest flush against a wall or cabinet.

Frequently asked questions
Will the Hefty 12.1 gallon trash can fit under a kitchen counter?
The listed dimensions are 24.65 by 13.26 by 16.4 inches. Measure the space with the lid raised too, since a step-on lid needs clearance above the can to open.
Is the Hefty trash can step-on or touch top?
The specs list a step-on opening mechanism and the description describes a step to open lid. The title says touch top, so treat step-on as the listed mechanism and check the photos.
Is the Hefty 2 pack trash can grey or bronze?
The color is listed as grey, while the description mentions a bronze finish. Confirm in the product images.
Can the Hefty cans be used for recycling?
Yes. The recommended uses are home waste and recycling, and the pack gives one can for each.
