Kitchen & Recycling Bins

For one or two people, a 20 to 30 litre kitchen bin is usually enough for everyday waste. Families or busy households may prefer 40 to 60 litres, especially if the bin is for general waste. If you recycle separately, a dual or multi-compartment bin can help manage capacity more efficiently.

Pedal bins are reliable, simple to use and do not need batteries, making them a practical choice for most kitchens. Sensor bins are more hygienic because they open without touch, which is useful when preparing food. The best option depends on your budget, space and how often the bin will be used.

The best recycling bin is one with separate compartments for different waste types, such as general rubbish, plastics, paper or food waste. Look for removable inner buckets or liners to make emptying and cleaning easier. Slimline recycling bins are a good choice if you want waste separation without taking up too much floor space.

Use bin liners that fit properly, empty food waste regularly and wipe the lid and rim with a mild cleaner. A bin with a tight-fitting or soft-close lid can help contain odours. Removable inner buckets also make deeper cleaning much easier.
