FYI, if you send simplehuman an email or call them they will send you the
parts that broke for free, mine did and they did, in fact they sent 2
sets..no charge, not even shipping. I wasn't ecstatic when it broke, like
you said it's NOT a cheap item, but they do seem to stand behind their
products.

OK, this is a little OT, but I am not certain where else to post this...

where can one find a simple, stainless steel kitchen trash container with
a foot pedal that you step on to open the lid that is worth a crap? Latest
version is "simplehuman" which wasn't cheap - I think it is this one

http://www.simplehuman.com/products/...ctangular.html

lasted six months before plastic lid broke, now you have to open it with
your hand which is not convenient.

Previous, less expensive iterations lasted less time. This is a house
with two adults living in it, neither one of which has enough time to
abuse a trash can, even if we were bored enough to do so (trimming all the
foliage in the yard provides ample opportunity to work out aggressions.)

any suggestions?

(whose old steel trash can in the garage, which is actually very old
oily/paint stained/whatever rag container, is still working fine, albeit
too small and too ugly to live in the kitchen.)
