Product Information
Full details
The Wesco Kickboy 40L Bin is a robust, classic waste solution designed for households and professional workspaces that prioritize durability and hygiene. Its primary benefit is the combination of a hands-free pedal mechanism and a tight-sealing stainless steel flap that effectively contains odors and waste out of sight. While it offers premium construction, potential users should be aware that the 40L footprint requires a dedicated corner or space, as it is a substantial, non-collapsible unit.

FAQs
Can I use standard grocery bags in this bin?
While standard 40L-50L bin liners are recommended for a perfect fit, you can use smaller bags if they can be securely folded over the rim of the inner metal liner.
How tall is the bin?
The Wesco Kickboy 40L stands at 75.5 cm in height.
Is the exterior finish rust-proof?
The bin is constructed from quality coated steel; while it is durable, it should be kept dry and wiped clean if exposed to liquids to maintain the finish.
Does the inner liner have handles?
Yes, the galvanized metal inner liner is equipped with a sturdy handle for easy removal and emptying.
Can the lid be removed for cleaning?
The swinging lid mechanism is designed for fixed use to ensure proper odor sealing; it is best to clean the lid in place with a soft cloth.
Troubleshooting
The lid does not swing back into the closed position.
Ensure no trash is protruding from the top that might be obstructing the swinging mechanism.
The bin slides on the floor when using the pedal.
Check that the plastic base ring is properly seated and free of debris or wax buildup.
The foot pedal feels stiff.
Inspect the pedal hinge at the base for any obstruction or accumulation of dust; clear the area to restore fluid motion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Wesco Kickboy is straightforward as it arrives ready for use. Simply place the unit in your desired location, ensuring the base ring is flat against the floor. To insert a bin bag, lift the galvanized metal liner out of the outer shell using the integrated handle, place your bag over the rim, and tuck the edges back into the shell.
For cleaning, the exterior white finish can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the paint or dull the stainless steel lid. The galvanized liner should be rinsed periodically to remove any residue from leaking bags and must be dried completely before re-insertion to prevent any potential corrosion.
