Product Information
Full details
This 6-litre round pedal bin is designed for users needing a compact waste solution in smaller spaces like bathrooms or offices. Its key benefit is its space-saving design combined with a durable, smooth-operating pedal mechanism and an easy-to-clean removable inner bucket. A potential caveat is its smaller capacity, making it less suitable for high-traffic areas. Key features include a strong steel pedal, a removable inner bucket, and compatibility with custom-fit liners.

FAQs
What size bin liners should I use?
This bin is designed for simplehuman Code C custom-fit liners. These ensure a perfect fit without slipping or bunching.
How do I clean the bin?
The inner bucket is removable and can be washed with soap and water. The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is this bin suitable for a kitchen?
While it can be used in a kitchen, its 6L capacity is best suited for smaller kitchens or as a secondary bin for specific waste, rather than a primary kitchen bin where larger volumes are generated.
What material is the bin made of?
The bin features a plastic housing and a durable steel pedal.
Can the inner bucket be replaced if damaged?
Yes, replacement inner buckets are available for this model.
What are the dimensions of the bin?
The bin has a width of 274 mm, a depth of 203 mm, and a height of 307 mm.
Does the lid stay open when stepped on?
The pedal is designed to open the lid smoothly. The lid typically stays open while the pedal is depressed, closing gently when the pedal is released.
Troubleshooting
Pedal is stiff or not opening the lid fully
Check the pedal mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the inner bucket is correctly seated and not interfering with the pedal's movement. Wipe the pedal mechanism with a damp cloth.
Lid does not close properly
Ensure there is nothing preventing the lid from closing, such as an overfilled bin or a misplaced liner. Check that the inner bucket is fully inserted.
Inner bucket is difficult to remove
Ensure the bin is not overfilled. Gently pull upwards on the inner bucket handle. If it feels stuck, ensure no waste is caught around the rim.
Bin liner is slipping or bunching
Ensure you are using the correct size and type of liner (simplehuman Code C). Adjust the liner by tucking the excess material securely around the rim of the inner bucket.
