Garvee 16 gallon Stainless Steel Triple Trash Can with Separated Lid and Foot Pedal Recycle Bin Combo for Kitchen and Living Room

This is a side-by-side unit with three garbage cans, each featuring three foot pedals, three slow-closing lids, and three color-coded bins. Now that our city mandates composting, these bins will be a lifesaver! The best part is that the bins are interchangeable, so you can arrange them in any order that works best for you.However, the bins are smaller than our previous trash cans, so you might need more bags of garbage if you wait until they’re full.Also, the can is shorter, which means you won’t hear the lid banging on the shelf above it.They include a compartment for charcoal pads to help eliminate odors. The pad supplied is a the size of a small guaze bandage and I'm not sure how effective they will be.There are handles on both sides of the can, so you can easily move it. It’s quite wide, which is to be expected with three trash cans. The operation is very quiet.We ordered this prerelease, and at the original price of nearly $180, it was quite expensive. Three months later, they lowered the MSRP to $140, and Garvee has it on a limited sale for $116, which I think is a reasonable price if you’re committed to being an eco-warrior.Just a heads-up that you’ll also need compostable trash bags, regular trash bags, and carbon filters in addition to the trash can.

This triple compartment stainless steel trash can is a great space saver in my kitchen. It's a lot more attractive and takes up much less space than what I was using before (see photos). The build quality is okay. This is not a heavy-duty, professional quality device I would consider using in an office or retail location. However, it's adequate for home use. Each compartment comes with a removable plastic bin. You can lift each bin lid with your hand and it stays open or you can use the foot "switch" to open the lid and it closes when you release your foot. Each lid has a removable carbon filter (included) which you can replace as needed. In fact, you may want to replace the filters right away because the included filters are low-quality.Overall, these bins are only five (5) gallons each which is on the small side. On the other hand, I live alone and would not use any of these bins for food waste because five gallons is much too large. Keep in mind, I eat a plant-based diet and cut up a lot of vegetables each day. However, I have a countertop food waste receptacle that is one-gallon size. More than adequate for my daily food waste which should be emptied everyday.Where I live I have to recycle glass separately from other recyclables so I am using one bin for garbage, one for glass, and one for all other recyclables like paper, aluminum, and plastic containers. I only need a plastic liner for the trash receptacle and I am using the 13-gallon size that I already had for my step-on trash can which this product replaced. The 13-gallon plastic liners easily fit the receptacle and the excess can be folded over the side of the bin and stuffed out of the way.I'm only giving this product four stars because at this price point I expected the build quality to be more heavy-duty all around.

We've used this now for a few weeks and so far really love it. It fits perfectly where we intended. It looks great. The lids open and close smoothly. The bins fit the 13 gallon trash bags that we previously used but with less capacity than our old bins, which we knew going in. We added little pads under our counter so the lids don't get banged up when opening. We also added stickers to the lids. Finger prints show up but are easy to wipe off. The body of the bin does feel a bit thin and susceptible to denting, but that hasn't happened to ours at this point.

I've been using this for about one week now. Solid product. Good looking. Does what it's supposed to do.Also, if you're looking for bags for this, I am currently using the 8 gallon bags from a brand called T.Foring. It works and is inexpensive. You can find it here on Garvee.
