9 L Stainless Steel Swing Lid Bin for Under a Desk or Bedroom

The bin beside a desk fills up twice as fast as the one in the bathroom and weighs half as much when it does. Paper takes room without taking weight, and most people buy the wrong size for it.

What Are the Key Features of This 9 L Bin's Round Steel Body?

• 9 L - bigger than a bathroom bin because paper and packaging fill a bin fast, smaller than a kitchen bin because it has to live under a desk.
• Swing flap - opens with the back of your hand and closes itself, which is what a bin opened twenty times a day needs instead of a pedal or a lift-off lid.
• Stainless steel body - it keeps its round shape under chair castors and a weekly vacuum, and a body that stays round is a flap that keeps swinging true.
• Nothing porous to hold a smell - steel wipes back to clean where a scratched plastic bin keeps whatever leaked into it.
• 1.32 kg empty - you move it aside with one hand to clean under the desk and put it back without thinking about it.

Where Can You Use This 9 L Stainless Steel Swing Bin?

• Under a desk, where a week of paper and packaging collects
• At a bedside
• Behind a shop counter
• In the corner of a bedroom or a children's room
• In a bathroom or a small office

Why Is 9 L an Odd Size Between a Bathroom Bin and a Kitchen Bin?

• 9 L is a deliberately odd number - envelopes, packaging and printouts crumple up big and weigh nothing, so a bathroom bin overflows in days.
• Still small enough to live under a desk - it holds a week of paper without spilling over the rim and never becomes furniture.
• A flap beats a pedal here - opened many times a day, it moves under the back of a hand with nothing to step on.
