Full details
The SONGMICS Dual Rubbish Bin in Silver is designed for households looking to streamline waste management and recycling. Its primary benefit is the dual-compartment system that simplifies sorting. A potential consideration is its size for very small kitchens. This bin features a durable, rust-resistant steel body, a quiet soft-closing lid that can be held open, removable inner buckets for easy cleaning, and a rear bag hole for secure liner placement.

Does it come with rubbish bags?

Can I use any brand of rubbish bags?
While other bags might fit, custom-fit bags are recommended to ensure a secure and neat fit within the inner buckets, preventing slippage.
Is the lid lockable?
The lid is designed with a soft-closing mechanism and a hold-open feature, but it is not lockable.
What is the material of the bin?
The bin is constructed from durable, rust-resistant steel, with PP plastic inner buckets.
How do I clean the steel exterior?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent and wipe with the grain of the steel. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not close softly.
Ensure the inner buckets are correctly seated and not obstructing the lid's closing mechanism. Check for any debris around the hinge or pedal.
Pedal mechanism is stiff or unresponsive.
Check that the pedal and its connecting rod are free from obstructions. Clean any dust or residue that might be hindering movement.
Inner buckets are difficult to remove.
Ensure the rubbish bag is not caught on the bucket rim. Empty the bucket completely before attempting removal.
Bin exterior shows streaks after cleaning.
Use a soft microfiber cloth and wipe in the direction of the steel grain. For stubborn marks, use a slightly diluted mild detergent and rinse with a clean damp cloth.
