FAQs
What is the total capacity of the waste bins?
The system includes one 12-litre bucket and two 6-litre buckets, for a total capacity of 24 litres.
Will this fit any kitchen drawer?
No, this system is specifically designed for drawers within 600mm-wide kitchen units. It also requires the internal drawer dimensions to be between 486-536mm in width and 414-482mm in depth, with adjustable flaps for fine-tuning the fit.
How do I clean the waste bins?
The individual buckets can be easily removed. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. The base unit can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
Can I use standard bin bags?
It is recommended to use bin bags that are slightly larger than the stated volume of each individual bucket (e.g., a 15L bag for the 12L bucket) to ensure they fit securely.
What color are the waste bins?
The main structure and buckets are made from anthracite grey plastic. The handles on the buckets are colored to aid in waste sorting.
Is assembly required?
Minimal assembly is required, primarily involving adjusting the base flaps if needed and inserting the buckets into the base unit.
Troubleshooting
Unit does not fit drawer properly.
Ensure the drawer dimensions are within the specified range (486-536mm width, 414-482mm depth). Recut the adjustable base flaps if necessary for a precise fit.
Bin bags do not stay in place.
Use bin bags with a capacity larger than the individual bucket size (e.g., a bag for a 15L bin for the 12L bucket). Ensure the bag is pulled taut around the rim.
Buckets are difficult to remove.
Check for any obstructions in the drawer or on the base unit. Ensure the buckets are seated correctly and not warped.
Plastic appears to be fading or becoming brittle.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean only with mild soap and water.
