BPA Free Plastic Swing Lid Kitchen Bin, 58 cm Tall, Grey and Black

A bin is the one plastic container in the house that food actually lives in, sometimes for two days, in a flat that gets hot. Almost nobody who sells you one will say a word about what that plastic is.

What Are the Key Features of This Kitchen Bin's BPA-Free Body?

• BPA free - the plastic is named rather than left unnamed, which is unusual on a bin and is a claim you can hold a seller to.
• 28 cm at its narrowest, 35 cm across, 58 cm tall - three real figures, so you can measure the gap beside the fridge before you buy instead of after.
• Sold as 50 L and as 35 L - the same bin in a family kitchen size and a smaller one, so you pick by how often you want to be knotting a bag.
• 2 kg with nothing in it - the bin comes out of its corner easily on a mopping day, and goes back without scraping the floor.
• Glossy grey and black finish - kitchen grease sits on a gloss instead of soaking into it, so one wipe is enough and nothing turns tacky in the corners.

Where Can You Use This 58 cm Kitchen Bin?

• In the gap beside the fridge - 28 cm is the narrow side to measure against it
• At the end of a run of kitchen cupboards, where the flap needs clear air above 58 cm
• Beside an office desk, against the wall
• In a restaurant kitchen, where it gets scrubbed out with hot water and detergent
• Outdoors, on a balcony or in a yard

Why Does a Plastic Swing Flap Work Better Than a Steel One on This Bin?

• Nobody names the plastic in a bin - this body is BPA free, and a named composition is one you can hold a seller to.
• Gloss is a cleaning decision, not a styling one - kitchen grease sits on top and wipes off, where matt holds a film that turns tacky.
• A plastic flap on a 2 kg bin - it moves under the back of your hand and settles; a steel flap that size bangs the rim and keeps rocking.
• 35 x 28 x 58 cm, printed - you measure the gap before you buy, which most bins in this price range never let you do.

Details

Material & Build

• Body: moulded plastic, BPA free - named rather than left as an unnamed mix, on the one container in the home that holds warm food waste for days.
• Lid: swing top - opens on hand pressure and settles back on its own; no pedal and no catch.

Dimensions

• Width 35 cm, depth 28 cm, height 58 cm - 28 cm is the figure that decides whether it slides into a gap; 58 cm is the one to check against a worktop lip or a low shelf, because the flap needs air above it.
• Weight: 2 kg empty - light enough that pulling it out of its corner to mop behind it is a job you actually do.

Colours

• Grey and black, gloss - a dark two-tone body, so the marks a kitchen bin collects do not sit on a pale surface.

Care

• Wipe the gloss down on the outside; hot water and detergent on the inside.
