Product Information

Full details

The Eko Cupboard Bin is a 5-litre waste solution designed for those seeking efficient and discreet waste management in compact spaces like kitchens, offices, or utility rooms. Its key benefit is its versatile mounting system, allowing it to be hung on cabinet doors, walls, or placed on countertops, saving valuable space. A potential caveat is the need to purchase deodorizer capsules separately to manage odors effectively. This durable plastic bin offers a modern grey finish and features a removable inner container for easy cleaning and bag changes.

Troubleshooting

Bin lid does not close properly.

Ensure the bin bag is not overfilled and is tucked neatly inside the inner container. Check that the inner container is seated correctly and that the lid is aligned properly before pressing down.

Bin is unstable when hung on a cabinet door.

Verify that the cabinet door thickness is within the recommended range for the hook. Ensure the hook is fully engaged with the door's edge.

Odors are not being controlled.

Ensure that deodoriser capsules or carbon filters are correctly placed in the designated compartment. Replace them according to their recommended lifespan. Consider using compostable liners for food waste if applicable.

Inner container is difficult to remove.

Ensure there are no obstructions around the inner container. Gently pull upwards, and if it feels stuck, check that the bin bag is not caught on the rim.
