Amazon’s motion-activated 50L stainless steel trash can plunges to $55 while supplies last (Reg. $80)

Reg. $80/$55

While supplies last (currently 16% claimed), Amazon is offering its Amazon Basics 50L Hands-Free Stainless Steel Trash Can for $54.90 shipped. For comparison, over the last three to six months this trash can has sold for an average of about $80. That works out to over 31% off and comes within $7 of the all-time low from back in October 2022. If you’d like to upgrade to a stainless steel trash can, now’s a cost-conscious time to do so. This unit boasts a 50-liter (or 13.2-gallon) capacity and features a motion sensor that will open the lid once activated. Since there’s a lid, you won’t have to worry about garbage odors leaking into your space. I’ve invested in a similarly-sized trash can for my office a few months ago and it’s a move I have yet to regret. Continue reading to find a smaller simplehuman offering with a lower price tag.

Peel, stick, then snap your iPhone onto the wall.

Now if you’d prefer a smaller solution, simplehuman has you covered with this 4.5L stainless steel trash can at $29. While it doesn’t have a motion sensor, there is a step that will open and close the lid for simple operation. No sensor means you won’t need to swap out batteries, too. Bear in mind that this unit is 1/10th of the size of the lead model, so it’s not as good of a value.

Other discounts that are bound to come in handy around the house include this 110-pack of 8-inch reusable cable ties at $8.50. I bought a bundle like this years ago and am still using them to this day. You can also upgrade your office now that Amazon is taking up to 45% off FlexiSpot desks. There are options priced as low as $35.
