Hands-free garbage can operation? Just step on the OXO SoftWorks stainless steel rectangular trash can"s broad foot pedal. The lid will automatically close, or you can conveniently lock it in a 90º stay-open position for extended use. Use OXO"s unique bag lock to secure trash bags around the plastic liner rim in the upright position, insuring that garbage stays in the bag, not in the can. The bag lock also gathers trash bag excess, keeping the trash bag out of sight underneath the extra-deep lid for a clean look. The liner is easily accessible and tapered for easier removal of heavy trash bags.
