Product Information
Full details
The Wesco Pushboy Junior is an ideal waste management solution for residents in smaller households or those with limited floor space who prioritize classic retro aesthetics. Its key benefit is the combination of a compact 22-litre footprint with a high-quality powder-coated steel construction that ensures long-term durability, though potential users should note that the swinging lid mechanism requires a manual push-to-open action which may feel less convenient than modern touchless alternatives.

FAQs
What is the total capacity of the Pushboy Junior?
The bin has a capacity of 22 litres.
Can I use standard trash bags?
Yes, standard kitchen bin liners that fit a 22-litre capacity will work, provided they are tucked inside the inner liner to avoid blocking the lid.
Is the bin suitable for outdoor use?
The bin is primarily designed for indoor use. While the steel is durable, extended exposure to outdoor elements may cause premature wear.
How do I clean the galvanized liner?
Remove the liner from the bin, wash it with warm water and a mild detergent, and dry it thoroughly before replacing it.
Does the swinging lid come off?
The lid is designed to stay on for the swinging mechanism to function, but it can typically be lifted off for emptying the liner or cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Swinging lid is sticking or moving slowly
Clean the hinge area of the lid to remove any dust or debris build-up and ensure no bag material is interfering with the mechanism.
Bin is sliding on the floor
Ensure the plastic protective ring at the base is securely attached and that the floor surface is dry and free of debris.
Odors escaping from the bin
Verify that the swinging lid is fully closed after each use and ensure the interior liner is emptied regularly to prevent buildup of waste residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: remove the packaging, ensure the plastic base ring is properly seated, and insert the galvanized metal liner. Use standard waste bin liners that accommodate a 22-litre capacity; ensure the bag is tucked neatly inside the liner so that it does not interfere with the swinging lid's hinge. For care, wipe the powder-coated exterior with a non-abrasive cloth and mild soap. The galvanized liner should be periodically removed, washed with warm soapy water, and allowed to air dry completely before being placed back into the bin to prevent corrosion.
