Receptacle assemblies with motion dampers

A trash can comprising:

• a front wall comprising an opening;
• a rear wall opposite the front wall;
• a chamber;
• a peripheral lip, the peripheral lip configured to mate with a trash bag such that the trash bag is received in the chamber;
• a lid unit coupled to the rear wall, the lid unit comprising:
• a lid configured to pivot between a closed position and an open position;
• and
• a trim ring configured to pivot between a lower position and an upper position, the trim ring being engaged around a portion of the peripheral lip in the lower position, a front of the trim ring being pivoted upward from the peripheral lip in the upper position;
• a foot pedal configured to move between a resting position and an actuated position, the foot pedal operably connected with the lid such that movement of the foot pedal from the resting position to the actuated position moves the lid from the closed position to the open position, a portion of the foot pedal received in the opening in the front wall of the body;
• and
• a motion damper positioned near the front wall, the motion damper configured to dampen movement of the foot pedal from the actuated position to the resting position.

A trash can comprising:

• a front wall;
• a rear wall opposite the front wall;
• a bottom wall;
• a chamber bounded at least partly by the front wall, rear wall, and bottom wall;
• a lid unit comprising a lid configured to pivot between a closed position and an open position;
• a foot pedal located on or protruding from the front wall, the foot pedal configured to move between a resting position and an actuated position, the foot pedal operably connected with the lid such that movement of the foot pedal from the resting position to the actuated position moves the lid from the closed position to the open position, the foot pedal comprising a motion damper engaging region;
• and
• a motion damper configured to dampen movement of the foot pedal and the lid, the motion damper positioned between the foot pedal and the bottom wall, a rear of the motion damper being closer to the front wall than the rear wall, the motion damper engaged with the motion damper engaging region of the foot pedal, wherein with the foot pedal in the resting position the motion damper is substantially completely enclosed by the foot pedal and the bottom wall.

• and
• a motion damper configured to dampen movement of the foot pedal and the lid, the motion damper positioned between the foot pedal and the bottom wall and closer to the front wall than the rear wall, the motion damper engaged with the motion damper engaging region of the foot pedal,
• wherein with the foot pedal in the resting position the motion damper is substantially completely enclosed by the foot pedal and the bottom wall, and wherein an upper end of the motion damper is positioned at an elevation that is higher than a bottom-most portion of the chamber.
