Product Information
Full details
This SONGMICS Kitchen Bin is designed for households seeking an elegant and functional waste management solution, particularly for those who appreciate dual-compartment sorting. Its key benefit is the hands-free pedal operation and soft-close lid, offering convenience and quiet use. A minor caveat is that while its design is sleek, it is primarily focused on functionality and may require specific bag sizes for optimal fit. This bin features a durable steel construction, two separate 30L compartments for waste sorting, a convenient pedal mechanism, and removable inner buckets for easy cleaning and bag changes. It also includes 15 complimentary bin bags.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the bin?
The bin has a total capacity of 60L (2 x 30L compartments). Specific dimensions can be found in the product's detailed specifications or manual.
What type of bin bags should I use?
The bin is designed to work best with 30L bin bags. SONGMICS recommends their own compatible 30L bin bags (Code H) for an optimal fit.
Can I keep the lid open indefinitely?
Yes, you can manually lift the lid to a 90° angle to keep it open for extended periods, such as during intensive cooking or cleaning tasks.
Is the bin made entirely of steel?
The main body of the bin is made of premium steel. The inner buckets and pedal mechanism may include durable plastic components.
How do I clean the soft-close mechanism?
The soft-close mechanism is generally maintenance-free. Ensure the area around the lid hinge is kept clean and free from debris. If any issues arise, consult the troubleshooting section or product manual.
Does it come with bin bags included?
Yes, the product includes 15 complimentary bin bags to get you started.
Can I remove the inner buckets for cleaning?
Yes, the two inner buckets are removable, making it easy to empty them and clean them separately.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not close fully or softly.
Check if the inner buckets are correctly positioned and not obstructing the lid. Ensure no debris is caught in the hinge or closing mechanism. Verify the lid is not manually held open beyond its intended soft-close range.
Pedal is stiff or does not open the lid.
Inspect the pedal mechanism for any obstructions or dirt. Clean the area around the pedal and hinge. Ensure the inner buckets are not pressing against the mechanism from the inside.
Inner bucket is difficult to remove or reinsert.
Confirm that the bin bag is not excessively full or improperly placed, as this can cause it to snag. Ensure the outer bin is on a stable, level surface.
Exterior shows smudges or scratches.
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Always dry the surface immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals or scouring pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the bin and remove all packaging.

- Place a 30L bin bag around the inner bucket, securing it using the designated bag hole if needed.
- Repeat for the second inner bucket.
- Close the lid to ensure it operates smoothly.
Compatibility:
This bin is designed for use with standard 30L bin bags. For the best fit and to prevent bags from slipping, SONGMICS recommends using their compatible 30L bin bags (Code H). Standard 30L bags may fit, but some variation in size and thickness can affect how well they sit.
Care:
- To clean the exterior, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- For the inner buckets, remove them from the bin and wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely before reinserting.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the steel surface.
- Ensure the pedal mechanism remains free of debris for smooth operation.
