Product Information
Full details
The Heavy Duty Dustbin (85 Litre) is designed for homeowners, office managers, and industrial users who require a robust and reliable solution for waste management. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-capacity 85-litre interior with reinforced zinc-plated handles, ensuring durability and ease of use during transport. While its large size provides excellent storage, users should note that the unit's dimensions (W476 x D476 x H673mm) require a dedicated floor space, making it less suitable for cramped storage under smaller sinks or cabinets.

FAQs
Is the bin suitable for outdoor use?
While the heavy-duty construction is durable, it is primarily designed for indoor use. If used outdoors, keep it in a sheltered area to prevent water collection and prolong its lifespan.
Does this bin come with a liner?
No, liners are not included. You should look for heavy-duty commercial bin liners that fit the 85-litre capacity.
How heavy is the bin when empty?
The bin is built for durability, so it has a substantial weight compared to lightweight plastic bins to ensure it remains stable when full.
Can I use this for garden waste?
Yes, it is suitable for garden waste, though you should avoid overfilling it with heavy wet soil, which may exceed the comfortable lifting capacity.
Are the handles sharp?
The zinc-plated handles are designed to be smooth, but they are industrial in style; we recommend wearing work gloves if you frequently move a fully loaded bin.
Troubleshooting
Lid becomes difficult to remove
Check the rim for debris or trapped waste that may be creating a suction seal; clear the area and ensure the lid is seated squarely.
Handles feel loose over time
Periodically check the attachment points on the base; if the rivets or bolts are accessible, ensure they remain tight to maintain structural integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Large 85-litre capacity reduces the need for frequent waste removal
- Reinforced zinc-plated handles prevent rusting and provide a secure grip
- Sturdy construction ensures the bin stands up to heavy daily use
- Black finish is versatile and hides dirt or marks effectively
- Dual-handle design makes the bin easier to maneuver when full
Cons
- Larger dimensions may be difficult to fit in small utility rooms
- No wheels included, which could make moving a heavy load difficult for some users
- Solid construction means it cannot be folded or collapsed for storage
- Weight of the unit itself may be noticeable when empty compared to plastic alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the bin on a flat, level surface to ensure stability. Because the bin is static, it is best placed near the primary point of waste generation. To maintain the life of the unit, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent periodically. While the zinc-plated handles are resistant to corrosion, avoid leaving the bin in direct contact with caustic chemicals or standing water for extended periods. To ensure long-term functionality of the lid, avoid placing extremely heavy objects on top of the bin that might warp the handle mechanism.
