There’s nothing more frustrating than carrying an armful of food scraps, dirty napkins, and throwaway cutlery only to fumble while opening the garbage bin. Well, we found a solution that eliminates that problem.

The BestOffice Automatic Trash Can is currently 51 percent off in a sleek black hue, meaning you can get it for just $29. It’s also available in stainless steel, white, and red; the latter of which is marked down to $39. The trash can has an automatic sensor that allows the lid to open and close “quietly” with the wave of a hand. The lid stays open by itself for seven seconds, so you can scrape plates and dump any contents inside before it automatically closes. When it’s time to take the trash out, the lid is removable to help slip the bag out easily.

The best-selling garbage bin has a large, 13-gallon capacity and a stainless steel surface that’s waterproof and oil-proof, which makes cleaning a breeze — just wipe down with hot soapy water. The base has traction for a nonslip grip.

Though the garbage bin requires batteries, which are not included, shoppers say the battery life lasts a “long time.” When the trash can is out of power, you can also open it manually. And if you have summer vacation plans and will be out of town, you can switch the trash can off to save power.

In the past month alone, more than 800 shoppers have added the trash can to their carts ahead of summer, and it’s topping Amazon's Movers and Shakers Charts, which tracks what shoppers are buying in real time. With more than 9,300 five-star ratings, the trash can is loved by shoppers for its accessibility, pet-friendly design, and long battery life.

“The lid has a tight seal that keeps the odors trapped inside, making my house smell so much better,” one reviewer wrote.

“I bought this type to keep my dog out of it, and it works,” another person shared. “He hasn't been able to knock it over or get into [it] at all.” And a third person said, “The hands-free operation is very convenient when hands are full.”

An automatic trash can is one of the simplest solutions to one of the dirtiest kitchen chores. Shop the BestOffice Automatic Trash Can while you can get it for more than half-off, plus keep scrolling for more on-sale touchless options.
