Intelligent “touchless” design has now come to waste receptacles! Our 12-Gallon SmartCan is a motion-activated trash can with an infrared sensor for touch-free, sanitary waste disposal. The lid opens as your hand approaches within eight inches of the built-in sensor, and it closes automatically after five seconds. You can also manually open or close SmartCan with just the touch of a button. Ideal for infection control, SmartCan keeps hazardous waste covered and out of sight. Stylish, brushed stainless steel finish with a removable black plastic lid mechanism for bag removal. Inner liner ring firmly holds waste bags in place. Operates on four D batteries included.
