Product Information
Full details
The Wesco Kickboy 40L Bin is designed for households and professional environments seeking a durable, hygienic, and aesthetically timeless waste management solution. Its primary benefit is the hands-free pedal operation combined with a high-capacity swinging flap that effectively seals in odors, making it ideal for kitchen or commercial use. While it offers superior build quality and stability, users should note that the 40-liter capacity is fixed and lacks modular internal sorting compartments, requiring manual bag management.

FAQs
Does this bin come with an internal bucket?
Yes, it includes a fire-retardant, hot-dip galvanized steel inner liner.
Can the bin be used outdoors?
While the powder-coated steel is durable, it is designed for indoor use. Exposure to prolonged moisture or rain may lead to corrosion.
How do I clean the stainless steel flap?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and a stainless steel cleaner or mild soapy water to maintain the shine and remove fingerprints.
What size trash bags should I use?
Standard 40-liter bin liners are suitable for this model.
Is the pedal mechanism repairable?
The mechanism is designed for high durability; if a mechanical issue occurs, inspect the linkage for any obvious obstructions.
Are there different color options available?
Yes, the Kickboy is available in various finishes, including Red, Black, White, and Beige.
Troubleshooting
The pedal feels stiff or does not open the lid fully
Check the linkage at the base of the bin to ensure no debris has become lodged in the pedal mechanism.
The swinging flap does not close completely
Verify that the trash inside is not overflowing or preventing the flap from swinging back to its centered position.
The bin slides on tile or hardwood floors
Ensure the plastic protective bottom ring is securely attached to the base; if it continues to slide, consider placing the bin on a rubberized mat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Kickboy is straightforward: simply place the plastic base ring on your desired surface to ensure stability, then insert the galvanized inner liner into the shell. When using standard 40-liter bin liners, ensure the bag is tucked securely over the edges of the galvanized bucket before placing it into the bin shell to prevent the bag from slipping inside. For maintenance, wipe the exterior powder-coated finish with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the finish over time. Periodically remove the galvanized liner and rinse with water to ensure it remains hygienic and free from residues.
