Key Features to Look For in EKO Trash Cans
When shopping EKO trash cans, prioritize these essential features:
- Material and Finish: Brushed stainless steel for a premium, smudge-resistant look.
- Lid Mechanisms: Options like step pedals for hands-free use or motion sensors for touchless convenience.
- Capacity and Size: From small 1.6-gallon bathroom units to 13.2-gallon kitchen models.
- Inner Baskets: Removable liners for easy emptying and cleaning.

Comparing EKO Models: Madison vs. Mirage-T
The Madison 6L / 1.6 Gal Bathroom Trash Can is ideal for small spaces. Its rectangular design with a soft-close step lid and removable inner basket makes it perfect for bathrooms or offices. The compact footprint fits under sinks, and the stainless steel resists moisture, preventing odors and bacteria buildup.
In contrast, the Mirage-T 50 Liter / 13.2 Gallon Touchless Rectangular Motion Sensor Trash Can suits high-traffic kitchens. Activate the lid with a wave of your hand—no touching required during meal prep. Its larger capacity handles family waste, and the sensor ensures hygienic operation. Both models share EKO's signature durability, but choose Madison for subtlety and Mirage-T for innovation.
Common use cases include bathroom vanities for the Madison, where its 1.6-gallon size prevents overflow, and kitchen counters for the Mirage-T, ideal for composting or recycling alongside Trash, Recycling & Compost systems.
Tips for Choosing the Right EKO Trash Can
Assess your space: Opt for Madison in powder rooms or guest baths; go Mirage-T for main kitchens. Consider lid type—step for light use, motion for heavy traffic. EKO's non-slip bases and odor-sealing lids add value, reducing trips to larger bins. Pair with liners from trusted sources for optimal performance.
