A receptacle assembly including a body portion, a lid portion, a pedal portion, a rod, and a motion damper. The body portion includes an upper portion and a base portion and defines an interior space. The lid portion is movably engaged with the body portion and is configured to move between an open position and a closed position. The pedal portion is configured to move the lid portion between the open position and the closed position. A rod extends between the lid portion and the pedal portion. The rod can also interface with the motion damper. The motion damper is positioned near the lid portion and is configured to dampen motion of the rod.

1. A receptacle assembly comprising: a body portion comprising an upper portion and a base portion, the body portion defining an interior space;a lid portion movably engaged with the body portion, the lid portion configured to move between a fully open position and a closed position;a pedal portion configured to move the lid portion between the fully open position and the closed position;a rod extending between the lid portion and the pedal portion; anda motion damper positioned near the lid portion and configured to interface with the rod when the lid portion is in the fully open position and the closed position,wherein the motion damper dampens motion of the lid portion,wherein when the pedal is pressed downward, the rod moves at least two components of the motion damper to a first configuration,wherein when the pedal is released, the rod moves the at least two components of the motion damper to a second configuration, andwherein at least a portion of the rod extends along a region exterior to the body portion below the motion damper. 2. The receptacle assembly of claim 1, wherein the base portion is removably coupled to the upper portion. 3. The receptacle assembly of claim 1, wherein the body portion further comprises a lower shell portion positioned within the body portion, a height of the lower shell portion being substantially less than a height of the upper body portion. 4. The receptacle assembly of claim 1, wherein the body portion further comprises a rear shell portion positioned near the lid portion. 5. The receptacle assembly of claim 4, wherein the motion damper is connected to the rear shell portion. 6. The receptacle assembly of claim 1, wherein the motion damper is positioned exterior to the upper portion of the body portion. 7. The receptacle assembly of claim 1, wherein the receptacle assembly further comprises an inner body portion, the inner body portion defining an interior space having substantially the same volume as the interior space of the body portion. 8. The receptacle assembly of claim 1, wherein the motion damper comprises a receiving portion and a piston portion, the receiving portion defining an interior space for receiving the piston portion. 9. The receptacle assembly of claim 8, wherein the motion damper further comprises a sealing member. 10. The receptacle assembly of claim 8, wherein the piston portion is configured to move from a lower position to an upper position as the lid portion moves from the closed position to the open position. 11. The receptacle assembly of claim 8, wherein the piston portion is configured to move further into the receiving portion as the lid portion moves from the closed position to the open position. 12. A method of manufacturing a receptacle assembly comprising: forming a body portion comprising an upper portion and a base portion, the body portion defining an interior space;movably engaging a lid portion with the body portion, the lid portion configured to move between a fully open position and a closed position;movably engaging a pedal portion with the body portion, the pedal portion configured to move the lid portion between the fully open position and the closed position;extending a rod from the lid portion to the pedal portion; andmovably engaging a motion damper with the rod such that the rod interfaces with the motion damper when the lid portion is in the fully open position and the closed position, and at least a portion of the rod extends along a region exterior to the body portion below the motion damper,wherein the rod interfaces with the motion damper such that, when the pedal is pressed downward, the rod moves at least two components of the motion damper to a first configuration, and when the pedal is released, the rod moves the at least two components of the motion damper to a second configuration,wherein the motion damper is configured to dampen motion of the rod, andwherein the motion damper is positioned near the lid portion. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein forming the body portion comprises removably coupling the base portion to the upper portion. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising positioning a lower shell portion in the interior space of the body portion, a height of the lower shell portion being substantially less than a height of the upper body portion. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein forming the body portion further comprises connecting a rear shell portion near the lid portion. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising connecting the motion damper to the rear shell portion. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein movably engaging the motion damper with the rod comprises positioning the motion damper exterior to the upper portion of the body portion. 18. The method of claim 12, further comprising inserting an inner body portion into the body portion, the inner body portion defining an interior space having substantially the same volume as the interior space of the body portion. 19. The method of claim 12, further comprising forming a motion damper comprising a receiving portion and a piston portion, the receiving portion defining an interior space for receiving the piston portion. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the motion damper further comprises a sealing member. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein the piston portion is configured to move from a lower position to an upper position as the lid portion moves from the closed position to the open position. 22. The method of claim 19, wherein the piston portion is configured to move further into the receiving portion as the lid portion moves from the closed position to the open position. 23. The receptacle assembly of claim 3, wherein the lower shell portion has a generally smooth surface for receiving contents of the receptacle assembly. 24. The receptacle assembly of claim 3, wherein the lower shell portion provides an upwardly facing bottom interior surface of the receptacle assembly. 25. The method of claim 14, wherein the lower shell portion has a generally smooth surface for receiving contents of the receptacle assembly. 26. The method of claim 14, wherein the lower shell portion provides an upwardly facing bottom interior surface of the receptacle assembly. 27. The receptacle assembly of claim 1, wherein the motion damper is configured to dampen motion of the lid portion by compressing air in the motion damper.
