Anfnglich waren wir von der Qualitt doch positiv berrascht, nun allerdings beweist sich wieder die Regel, dass wenn man billig kauft – zweimal kaufen muss!
Der Schliemechanismus ist defekt, sodass die Klappe immer offensteht und nur durch hndisches Eingreifen schliet.
Having looked at several ‘branded’ bins and needing one smaller in height, this bin is fabulous. It is excellent value for money and well made. I would buy again.
Keeps my 1 year old out of the garbage and recycling and looks nice, good quality but getting the bins in and out when changing the bag is kind of annoying. They have to perfectly line up (only 1 way) for the lid to close
This bin is fantastic….well, as fantastic as a bin can be. Although not the biggest bin in the world, having the two compartments means you think about how much rubbish you throw out, and makes sure you regularly empty your bins which really highlights how much unnecessary waste we all go through daily….looks great and closing mechanism works very well. The inner bins can be pulled out for ease of emptying…and it looks good in the kichen..brilliant bin.
This is just as advertised. The two bins are quite large 15l each .I use it for garbage and recycle and they serve the purpose. They are easy to empty and the bin doesn’t occupy too much of space.
Das ist der teuerste Mlleimer den ich mir je gekauft habe. Bereuen tue ich es aber keine Sekunde . Der Mlleimer sieht sehr hochwertig aus und nimmt nicht so viel Platz weg. Aber trotzdem erstaunlich , wieviel Mll in jeden einzelnen Eimer geht.
No sabamos que cubo de basura comprar y despus de dar vueltas nos decidimos por este.
Puedes colocar 2 bolsas de basura diferentes y despus de 6 meses sigue funcionando con un uso diario. Nosotros lo usamos para orgnico y envases y todo correcto. Envases se llena antes que orgnico, pero es normal… Esto no es problema del cubo si no de que utilizamos demasiados envases en casa…
Great hands free recycle bin. Deep containers. Nice low profile bin. One step opens cover for both bins. Handles to carry to garage. Soft close lid.
Very pleased with product.
We had two singles before but I like the two in one unit as there is less outside to clean. Looks nice in the pantry. would prefer neutral colours on the hinges instead of green and yellow. Amazing product.
There are two interior removal bins, each of which can hold 15 litres. They are made of hard plastic.
This arrangement seems a bit weird to me, but I’ve been using it. You can’t get large objects in easily – for example, if you threw away something like a used box of tissues, you’d have to crush the box or else it won’t fit. Because of this, I keep a small collection of largish items of rubbish close to my door. When I leave the house, I take these things with me to the wheelie bin.
I find it a little tedious using (flexible) plastic bags in the (hard) plastic bins. When you return the hard plastic bin into the metal housing, the plastic bag can come off. The instructions tell you to twist the loose part of the bag and stuff it through a little hole at the top of the plastic bin.. If you do this, it does work. Sort of. But it is fiddly. It would be better to have some sort of retaining structure that holds the plastic bag in place.
If I find a better bin, I’ll buy it. But I haven’t.
Pros: looks great, arrived on time, each can 15L and sufficient for a small family (using one as trash, other as compost)
Cons: handles are placed on the inside of the buckets, so need to be tucked in under the bag. This sucks if you have a leaky bag… makes it harder to just pull out the whole bucket and carry to the bin. Also makes it hard to pull put the bag because of the metal handles constricting it.
Works better now after I popped the handles off.
Finally, as others have mentioned, you’ll need to use tight bags because the buckets fit snug into the holes. Larger bags just crumple at the top and fall into the bucket.
Overall nice, but someone should have tested the unit before they finalized the design. Still usable.
Tried to use it to separated wet / recyclable garbage. Hinges and opening mechanism broke. Aside from that, the whole unit was too small and badly made. Will replace with something sturdier. A waste of money.
I love this bin!
Looks brilliant in my new kitchen.
It is very small but that’s brilliant as it makes you empty it more often.
Makes the recycling process much easy, especially for the kids!
As per title. Internal measurements are 45x21x17, which I work out as 16 litres… Which isn’t a lot, but bags come in 15 or 30l sizes, and indeed, 15l bags are too small for a 16l bin.
30l ‘tall’ bags aren’t a bad fit however; a standard 75 deep with 90 circumference will leave you a bit of excess to tuck in, but it’s not absurd.
Other than that, seems nice. Pedal isn’t hard to push, close action is smooth and quiet. Easy to lift a compartment out, probably no need to line the recycling side. Colour coding is a bit ambiguous; no imprint to suggest that one side is the ‘normal’ colour for recycling vs trash, so I guess I’ll decide for myself.
As others have mentioned, changing the bags is a bit of a pain but no big deal.
It’s very tiny, 15L each (Glad roommate bags) I haven’t found a blue bag that fits, but it keeps the dogs out of the trash and sorts without having the ugly blue bin in my kitchen.
I wanted a trash can I could put recycling in too that wasn’t huge because I live in a tiny house. That’s exactly what I got when I purchased this. The only thing I wish was different is if there were a lip on top to open the lid without having to step on the peddle. It’s easy to clean and is very sturdy. Worth the money.
Bello , buona estetica , i 2 comparti sono separati bene , la chiusura perfetta .
his bin is on the small side, if you live alone then this will do but for a family id suggest a larger bin.
looks good, easy to use etc.
Unica nota: il cestino arrivato senza un piedino, ma abbiamo messo un feltrino e risolto subito il problema.
Comoda l’apertura a pedale e il doppio cestello interno per differenziare la spazzatura.
Consigliato+++
Was soll man dazu gro schreiben?
Es ist ein Mlleimer, der seinen Zweck erfllt.
Die Mae stimmen, er sieht gut aus, ist stabil, lsst sich innen und auen leicht reinigen. Die beiden Einstze lassen sich leicht herausnehmen, subern und wieder einsetzen. Die Mechanik ist ebenfalls stabil und leichtgngig (schliet auch sanft).
Preis war in meinem Falle auch ok.
This is the perfect bin for a small house hold, looks much more expensive than it cost too. Really great bin, would totally recommend.
Great little bin which fits nicely into my small kitchen. Two compartments to help with recycling which have removable buckets with handles. Especially like that has a peddle to open so no need to touch the bin with dirty fingers. Looks nice and was a very good price. I recommend it.
Bestellt, befllt, zufrieden!
Tut was er soll, ist stabil und wertig verarbeitet, saubere Mlltrennung ist damit mglich.
Grere Gre wre wnschenswert gewesen aber zu dem Preis unschlagbar.
Und vielleicht eine beidseitige Mllbeutelaufhngung ermglichen.
Looks good and is a good price for the dual bin that colour codes the pedal so you know which is for waste and for recycling. It is perfect for a small office or kitchen that is kept clean. It won’t survive outdoors and the only niggle is fitting the bags which seems to be too fiddly for a kitchen bin.
Super Mlleimer!
Schn verarbeitet und auch gut sauber zu halten.
Der Mlleimer berzeugt durch sein gutes Preis/Leistungs Verhltnis. Er ist leicht zu reinigen und es entweicht auch keinerlei unangenehmer Geruch, der ja leider, teilweise durch den Mll entstehen kann.
Der Mlleimer erfllt seinen Zweck und ist auch insgesamt in Ordnung. Die Klappautomatik funktioniert gut. Im Vergleich zu meinem Mlleimer zuvor, ist das Material nicht so stabil. Der hat einen leichten Sto vertragen. Bei dem jetzigen Modell riskiert man eine Delle, wenn man versehentlich strker touchiert.
Etwas nervig ist, dass man die Einstze genauestens reinstellen muss. Anderenfalls klemmt der Deckel und schliet nicht mehr. Das ist Zentimeterarbeit.
Love it! I wanted something to also put recycling in and this was the best priced. Didn’t disappoint!
This is a great small bin for my kitchen and allows easy separation for recycling. Bags are a little fiddly to get to stay in place but could be because the only ones I could get were a little big. Its sturdy and the lid closes gently.
Seems weird to say this… But this is a great bin. Looks really good , durable and has a good foot pedal. I didn’t realise, but it’s soft close too! Pretty small, but it actually works better for us – clear things out quicker and we don’t stack.
I love this. Looks so sleek and smart. We do need to empty at least 3 times a week but I prefer it so much so my old bin. Easy to clean.
Bin looking for a dual bin for months now. Tired of having two separate receptacles. And didn’t want to go over 100 bucks. This is the perfect trash can that does the job. It’s attractive (stainless steel) and has large enough double sections that are removable for carrying or cleaning. So far, the mechanics are running smoothly, which includes the soft-close top and foot pedal. I actually bought one of the “used” choices offered alongside the new one. It was listed as “Used-Like New” and as described, though the box was slightly messy, the bin itself was perfect. I have major OCD and couldn’t find a thing wrong with it, not a scratch nor a dent. Happily saved a ton! And these days, every penny counts. 🙂 That being said, I think I’ll go ahead and splurge for a recycle and trash decal!
This is a pretty decent little garbage can. We use it for recycling but if you had a lot of bigger (1 or 2 liter) bottles, it would fill up very quickly. It’s sturdy, looks nice, and doesn’t take up a ton of space. The only real design issue with it is that the top of each removable compartment is a little smaller than the inside of it, because of the flip up handle (which you can see in the pictures), so if you put a bag in the compartment and fill it, it will get stuck when you pull it out – which is pretty annoying. We don’t put food garbage in it, so don’t usually use bags, and it’s fine for that.
I use to use one side for recycling, but now both sides are for trash and it works well. The lid is silent and it a great trash can.
Really nice bin. Bigger than expected but it does the trick.
This is a sturdy, good looking trash can for a fraction of the price of others. I’m really not sure why trash cans have the price tags they do these days. This one is a great value, I was specifically looking for a dual trash and recycling combo. It’s the perfect size for one person, maybe two. I did buy 4 gal trash bags and regret it because they are too small, though it says these are 15 liter bins. So I’d probably go with 8 or 10 gal even.
This product was sturdy and beautiful. The handles are perfect.
So glad I got it. Keeps smells away and fits so nicely in my tiny kitchen. Yes, sometimes it’s just easier to take larger recyclable items with me and put them in the outside bin on the way to work. But I wouldn’t change it for anything.
Perfect fit for the end of my island. Double buckets is a bonus as is the finger smudge proof feature. Silent close is really nice.
Je fait jamais de commentaires mais la ca vaut la peine de dire que c’est vraiment un bon produit, assez profond pour la quantit et tout est nickel…
It’s a good product! Could be heavier, but works well!
Oh I love it! Wouldn’t be good for more than 2 in a household but so easy to take the canister out and empty into main bin, although for household rubbish I use a bag
I am pleased with the quality of the cans and the soft close option. Inner portions are easy to remove. I only wish I had ordered a larger size than the 15l as I had intended on side for regular garbage and one side for recyclables.
Gute Quailitt, der Mlleimer ist sein Geld wert. die Mlltten sind nicht sichtbar, was sehr ordentlich aussieht. Die Mlleimertten lassen sich etwas schlecht anbringen, da die Mlleimer etwas herausgezogen werden mssen, um die Mlltten anzubringen. Die Eimer verkanten dann etwas, und es dauert einen Moment, bis man sie wieder richtig drin hat. Deswegen einen Punkt Abzug.
Die Spaltmae zwischen dem Deckel und dem Gehuse sind gleichmig und Plastikbeutel knnen ohne groes Gefummel in die beiden Innenbehlter eingebracht werden, da zwischen dem Deckel und den beiden Innenbehltern noch ca. 1cm Platz verbleibt. Auch die ffnung des Deckels mit dem Fuauslser funktioniert bestens. Der Deckel schliet danach gedmpft und soft.
Die Gre ist fr unseren Zweipersonen-Haushalt mehr als ausreichend und das Design, mit den bereits genannten Bestandteilen in schwarz, ist modern und sehr ansprechend. Nach der Lieferung ist beim ffnen tatschlich ein chemischer Geruch wahrnehmbar. Vor der Erstbenutzung in der Kche wurde der Abfalleimer darum, mit geffnetem Deckel, erst einmal fr einen Tag im Freien gelftet. Das hat dann auch gewirkt.
Wir sind zufrieden und knnen den Abfalleimer empfehlen. Einen Stern ziehen wir wegen dem Lften ab.
Very sleek looking. Cannot tell it is an Amazon’s basics when compared to other brands of the same type. Bin lid closes quietly. Have to purchase bigger bin liners than stated as the cylinder is an odd shape (not round).
Me encant, tiene la capacidad necesaria. No es estorboso, es muy esttico. Guarda bien los aromas. Muy bien producto relacin precio.
Un cubo de basura es el elemento fundamental en la cocina. Sin l, la estancia se convertira en un espacio antihiginico en muy poco tiempo. Lo ideal sera tener al menos uno en la cocina: para tener un lugar separado para la basura.
Una vez que terminamos de cocinar o de comer, echamos los desperdicios en el cubo de basura antes de bajarlos al contenedor de la calle. Lo ideal es que este cubo cuente con una tapa, as evitamos que el olor de los desechos se expanda al resto de la casa.
As se reduce el crecimiento bacteriano y se evita la propagacin de olores. Si, adems, el modelo cuenta con un revestimiento interior extrable, nos aseguramos de que la bolsa se quede en su lugar y no se salga la basura fuera.
Todos, en mayor o menor medida, conocemos la importancia que tiene el reciclado para reducir el uso de energa y la creacin de residuos y para convertir los desechos en nuevos productos o materia prima y, as, ayudar un poco ms el medio ambiente.
Sin embargo, cuando nos proponemos reciclar sin un cubo adecuado, es posible que te veas con diferentes bolsas repartidas por la cocina que contienen vidrio, envases o cartn.
Para que tu cocina no se convierta en un caos, existen cubos de basura con varios compartimentos que te facilitan enormemente tu objetivo de reciclaje. As podrs separar cada desecho y mantener el orden y la higiene en tu hogar.
A la hora de elegir un modelo por su material, tendrs que tener en mente el lugar donde lo vas a colocar, adems del tipo de basura que vas a echar en l. Los dos materiales ms comunes para los cubos de basura de cocina son el plstico y el acero inoxidable.
El acero inoxidable, por otro lado, es ms pesado y mucho ms resistente, lo que lo hace ideal si no lo vas a mover de su sitio o si quieres evitar que tu mascota o tu hijo lo pueda volcar. Adems, las tapas metlicas tambin resultan ms difciles de abrir para las mascotas.
The product is very good value. Very compact and love the idea of separating the items for recycling
But dose the job. I always wanted a side by side bin. It will have to be emptied every 2nd day. It’s only 3 of us in the house anyway. Update one of the hinges broke on the bin after only a month I sent it back for a refund.
I am very pleased with this purchase it is well made although not big enough capacity for more than one Or two in a household particularly for paper waste. It is ideal for anyone on their own or with mobility problems as the foot pedal works well. I love the satin finish and the buckets are easy to remove for emptying. The lid is on a slow and silent closing mechanism. Very pleased with this purchase.
ideal for small kitchen looked at more expensive ones but this is really good
This is probably the most perfect, all-rounder you can find for a bin.
Pros:
– looks EXTREMELY stylish, clean, and aesthetic.
– I love how it has 1 flap instead of 2 since its a double compartment bin.
– opening feature is very smooth and the flap closes nice and slow instead of slamming down
Cons:
– wish the flap itself opened up a little bit more, but it’s not a big issue
All in all, my mum loves this product. We used to use cheap plastic bins in the kitchen which just didn’t cut it, this surpasses everything in terms of functionality and appearance.
Nothing to dislike about this bin, good size….. twin compartments make it useful for recycling. Would recommend, thank you.
Unica cosa che veniva descritta come completamente in metallo, mentre la striscia grigio scuro alla base, e sul bordo del coperchio, sono di plastica. Il che potrebbe inficiarne la robustezza.
It is a good product I figured the containers would have been larger that’s the only downfall for me.
Like that I can get rubbish and recycling in same place but still separate.
Works well. Slow release closing lids. Sleek. Nice ss finish.
Can be awkward to get inner bins back in, but a good size for going under a kitchen worktop and useful to have 2 bins in one. very stable and looks smart.
The inside would be easier to use if it had one bucket, not two. They are quite small. Probably about 4 gallon bags would fit in each (so the size of a bathroom garbage?) I got this for my kitchen to tsk recycling out, but I don’t separate (the city does it) so I dump this every 2 days in my large bin. I was hoping for a week but it matches my garbage. It’s just shorter. It is slow close and the buckets are nice. The size is just smaller than I thought. It doesn’t look like it would hold 13 gallons like a regular kitchen trash
This is sturdy and well build. Perfect for the home office!
Perfect size and great value for money when compared to similar products
La poubelle n’est pas trs grande mais c’est idal pour une petite cuisine. Elle est facile nettoyer, et son design est discret. J’apprcie le fait qu’elle se rabatte doucement sans faire de bruit. La seule chose c’est que je la trouve un peu chre, mais elle a l’air d’tre robuste.
The buckets fit tight and we had an issue finding bags to fit. Out solution was Glad Kitchen Catchers with the red draw string. They are the right size and we snug up the draw string so the bins fit in the can. These seem to work the best by far.
NINESTARS NSTB-6-30 Extra Strong White Trash Bag w/Drawstring Closure, 6 Gallons / 20 L to line each canister. They are a little bigger than necessary but I like the fit.
It still looks very pretty when my 18 month old niece wears it on her head. The high-gloss metal would not have been my first color choice (I would have opted for mint), but it grows on you. It does seem a wee bit heavy to be worn by such a small baby, so she only wears it when she is laying in her crib. But it looks so cute, I have considered tying it to my own head a few times already!
A nice bonus is that, due to the naming change, I realized that this product would be a great trash can. So while my niece is not wearing this product, we use it as such.
10/10, would recommend.
Love it, it’s just a bit more narrow than I would like.
Perfect size for my small kitchen. Looks good and the lid doesn’t fly open when you step on pedal like some garbage cans.
Happy I bought it but I would rather use the recycle part as an extra garbage bin
Great that my cat can not get into it!!
This arrived super quick and I am really impressed at how great it looks. It was about half the price of many others so I thought I would give it a try. Very glad I did. It looks really nice and well made. The two bins inside are easy to remove with the handles. It isn’t super huge so it doesn’t take over the room ( This is in our 5th wheel trailer) . Couldn’t be happier! Well done Amazon!
Der Mlleimer macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck.
Bis auf wenige Kunststoffeinstze ist der gesamte Mlleimer aus Edelstahl-Blech gefertigt.
Die Edelstahl-Oberflche scheint erfreulicherweise ein Anti-Fingerprint-Finish zu haben.
Das Blech wirkt ausreichend dick, die Gefahr von Beulen sehe ich erstmal nicht.
Die Fubedienung zum ffnen funktioniert einwandfrei – ich hoffe dass die Mechanik, als auch die Kunststoffscharniere, langlebig sind.
Die beiden Mlleimereinstze haben eine recht kleine Grundflche und bringen es
durch die Tiefe auf die gewnschten 15L.
Kritisieren mchte ich allerdings, dass der Kunststoff der beiden Mlleimereinstze furchtbar
gestunken hat…ein Tag im Freien hat Abhilfe geschafft.
Zudem etwas schade, dass man den Deckel nicht feststellen kann.
Bislang kann ich den Mlleimer uneingeschrnkt empfehlen, sollte sich etwas
daran ndern, werde ich hier ein Update verfassen.
Meilleure conception que des poubelles semblables de la mme gamme de prix.
Easy way to keep your waste garbage separate and keep in one place
I like the dual bins… the whole can is attractive and I like the soft close lid. The size is just a little larger that I thought it would be… but that’s ok. It is an extra item in my small kitchen… and I am getting used to it being there. All in all it is a great buy.
Perfect size for 2 person household.
The compartments are easy to take out and the lid lifts easily and doesn’t just slam down.
Wish they did a baby one for the bathroom.
El basurero est muy bien construdo y los materiales son de buena calidad. Los dos cubos interiores son ms profundos que una bolsa del super as que pueden usar bolsas ms grandes.
Funciona muy bien. Tiene buen tamao para almacenar los desechos y buena apariencia para la cocina. Slo me pregunto por la vida til del pedal, pero hasta ahora bien.
Nice to have two separate compartments for genial waste and recycling.
Great item, as stated in the details. Just what I needed for my kitche
Pros: parece de buena calidad, la tapa abre con mucho ngulo pero nunca choca con la pared (y por lo tanto no mancha!), tiene cierre suave.
Ni fu ni fa: las asas de los lados (sera ms bonito sin ellas), la dimensin de altura que hace no todas las bolsas quepan con facilidad (uso las del Mercadona y no me llegan al fondo), el formato de los cubos internos que van justos y hace un poco complicado “remangar” la bolsa alrededor de ellos cuando sobra tanta bolsa
Contras: me vino con unas manchas en la parte superior que no se van bien, le di con un estropajo de cocina (uno suave, no os creis) y al final parece que lo he araado de forma uniforme. En fin Tambin lleva un pequeo golpecito que parece ser un defecto de fabricacin. Ya devolv otro cubo de otra marca y no tena ganas de devolver este por cosas as, pero en Amazon USA se quejan de detalles as, por lo visto no soy el nico.
En resumen: con un slo un poquitn ms de calidad en los acabados, podra ser un cubo de Brabantia o Simplehuman que cuestan el triple, as que me lo quedo y contento de que hayan sido “slo” 40 (casi lo mismo que los dos cubos STRAPATS de IKEA que tena antes y que eran un incordio y golpeaban la pared).
This is a large bin with a metal outer and two plastic bins inside. It is quite big to have in my small home-office just for me. I t might be better in a multi-person office. The bin has handles on the sides but I’ve only needed those when moving the whole bin. Each bin inside has its own metal handle, so you can remove each one separately and carry it like a bucket.
The bin is great for separating rubbish. I use one side for recycling, and the other for non-recyclable waste. The foot pedal works fine, lifting the lid to almost vertical. On release, the lid drops slowly to close silently.
In the time I’ve been using this bin, it has worked very well. I have had no problems with it. It is practical for an office, and would work well in a family kitchen. The build quality is good, too.
Both cans arrived damaged. The first one had a film and pock marks on the top. No amount of cleaning got rid of it. I decided to send it back. The second can (different size) arrived completely dented on the side. I sent it back. The replacement of the split can arrived today. It has the same imperfections on the top. It almost seems like there is a blue plastic film protector on it that needs to be pulled off… but there isn’t. I decided to keep this one as it is going in my basement laundry room. Still waiting on the second to arrive. We will see how they hold up over time.
UPDATE: 6 months from previous post. Second can arrived in perfect condition. Both function perfectly six months later. I actually ordered a third for another room, and it came in perfect condition too. Would definitely order these again.
This is a dual/double bucket bin which has two inner bins (one for wet foods/wet rubbish and one for dry foods/dry rubbish) and each inner bin can hold 15l with a total capacity of 30l. The outer bin that holds the two inner bin buckets measures approximately 11 inches in depth (so, quite slimline compared to a kitchen counter), 15.7inches across and is approximately 20.2 inches tall. This makes it reasonably compact for a dual bin – just add the dimensions of the foot pedal to the front which is approximately 7.1 x 2inches. There are also two indented carry handles – one on each side of the outer bin – to make it easy to pick up if you need to, but these don’t add to the size or shape as they are indented.
The outer bin is finished in a fingerprint-proof stainless steel with a black trim and together with the slimline look this makes it look very modern and pretty sleek and it will fit right into any modern kitchen. There is a foot pedal at the base which opens the entire lid to reveal access to both bins (you can’t access just one bin at a time, as they share the same large external lid) and this lid then closes by itself in a soft motion with no lid slam at the end, but shuts very firmly and securely none the less.
Each of the internal bins are very easy to pull out with the stainless steel pale-bucket style handles and you can then easily empty them into a refuge sack or directly into your outside bin/compost. This is a great bin if you use a compost heap as you can use one the bins for this and then empty it straight outside on your compost and use the other side as a general purpose bin. You can also use it as a simple recycling bin, such as putting plastic in one side and glass in the other. It has a lot of uses with the dual aspect and is a very handy slimline bin.
Best of all, it is genuinely finger print friendly – so if you’re usually forever wiping down smears and fingerprints from the bin then this is a great choice!
Recycle bin
This is a general-purpose kitchen bin that can be used as a convenient recycling separator bin. It has two compartments, one for dry items and one for wet. Each is 15 litres.
Build.
It is made of plastic material but it is strong and the finish is good. It has a protective layer over it to stop marks and unsightly finger prints. It is easy to wipe clean. It has a pedal open and soft close lid. The inner compartments are easy to remove to transfer the contents to the main recycling vessels.
In use.
We use one side for plastic pots and tubs and the other for glass jars etc. It easily holds a weeks’ worth from our kitchen. We compost our food peelings so do not use it for these. The lid works well and the bin is easy to clean off.
Overall.
A well-designed kitchen bin that is easy to use for recycling items. It looks good for a bin and is well made so should last a long time before it needs recycling! Amazon has not put up a price at the time of reviewing but if its under 25.00 it is ideal for the purpose and completive against similar bins.
This is a super bin from AmazonBasics. Made from polished metal it has a lovely matte finish and it opens thanks to a foot pedal at the front (much better than those battery-operated ones). There are two separate compartments, each containing a fitted bucket, which makes it very easy to take out the contents. You can line each of them with a bin liner for hygiene purposes, which is what I would do, except that it also makes a fabulous toy bin for the grandkids’ small toys, blocks and random things left behind after a visit. Great to keep things separate if need be – either for tidiness or territorial reasons. And very easy to keep clean too.
