Full details
The EKO Puro Plus 10L food waste bin is a versatile, space-saving solution designed for home cooks who need a convenient way to manage kitchen scraps, vegetable peelings, and compostable leftovers. Its primary benefit is its flexible installation system, allowing for clutter-free countertop space by mounting it on cabinet doors or walls; however, users should note that at 10 liters, it may require frequent emptying if you generate a high volume of food waste daily.

FAQs
Does this bin require specific waste bags?
The bin is designed for general use; standard kitchen bin liners that fit a 10L capacity will work, though it can also be used without a bag for easier composting.
Can I install this on a textured wall?
The included adhesive hook is best suited for smooth, non-porous surfaces like painted walls, tile, or cabinet doors.
What are the exact dimensions?
The EKO Puro Plus measures approximately 27.4 cm by 21.2 cm by 31.7 cm.
Is the bin dishwasher safe?
While the plastic is durable, hand washing with mild soap is recommended to preserve the finish and mechanical integrity of the lid hinge.
Is the hanging hardware included?
Yes, both the over-the-cabinet door hanger and the adhesive wall mount are included in the package.
How do I remove the bin from the wall once mounted?
If using the adhesive hook, apply heat with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive before gently pulling it away from the surface.
Troubleshooting
Lid sliding mechanism feels stiff
Check for food debris stuck in the slider tracks and wipe them clean with a damp cloth.
Adhesive hook is not holding firm
Ensure the wall surface was cleaned with rubbing alcohol before application and allow the adhesive to set for 24 hours before hanging the bin.
Lingering odors
Increase the frequency of emptying and wash the bin with a mixture of water and vinegar to neutralize residual bacteria.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires no power tools. To use the over-the-door mount, simply hook the provided bracket onto a standard kitchen cabinet door. For the wall mount, ensure the wall surface is clean and dry before applying the adhesive hook to ensure a secure bond. When cleaning, avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers to keep the plastic surface smooth. A mild soap and warm water solution is sufficient for routine maintenance. Regularly inspect the hinge of the lid to ensure it remains free of debris for consistent sliding performance.
