Product Information
Full details
The Wesco Pushboy Waste Bin is an ideal choice for homeowners and office managers who prioritize both durability and iconic retro aesthetics in their waste management. Its standout feature is the large, stainless-steel swing flap that effectively seals in odors and keeps waste out of sight. While it is a high-quality, long-lasting investment for your kitchen or workspace, its larger 50-liter footprint means it is best suited for rooms with adequate floor space rather than tight, cramped corners.

FAQs
What is the total capacity of the Wesco Pushboy?
The Pushboy has a 50-liter capacity, making it suitable for moderate to high waste generation.
Can I use standard trash bags with this bin?
Yes, standard 50-liter trash bags will work with the removable metal inner liner.
Does the flap feature a soft-close mechanism?
No, the stainless-steel flap is a traditional swing-style mechanism that relies on gravity to close.
Is the bin suitable for outdoor use?
While it is made of durable steel, it is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure may cause premature weathering of the powder coating.
How do I clean the interior?
The inner metal bucket is removable; you can take it out to wash it with warm, soapy water and dry it before reinserting it.
Troubleshooting
The flap is sticking or failing to close properly.
Check the hinge mechanism for debris or sticky residue. Clean the pivot point with a damp cloth and ensure it is free of obstruction.
The interior liner is difficult to remove.
Ensure the trash bag is not overfilled or caught between the liner and the outer shell. Pull the liner straight up using the handle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Pushboy is straightforward: remove the outer shell, insert the metal liner, and secure your standard 50-liter trash bag around the rim of the liner. When caring for your bin, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the powder-coated exterior to maintain its vibrant red finish. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the coating. For the stainless-steel flap, a dedicated stainless-steel cleaner can be used occasionally to keep it free of fingerprints and smudges.
