ABSTRACT:
A trash can with a cap opened with a step includes an outer trash can, an inner trash can, a cap closing on the outer trash can, a moving mechanism and a step. The step is positioned outside of the outer trash can with a first end of a movable rod of the moving mechanism located just under the step. So, when the step is pressed down with a foot of a user, the movable rod moves up a connecting rod vertically to push the cap to swing up open, as the cap is pivotally connected with a projection fixed on a rear end of the cap. Further, a decorative cap is pivotally connected with the projection, hiding an upper end of the connecting rod protruding out of the outer trash can so as to beautify the whole shape of the trash can.
