Can I use this bin outdoors?
This kitchen bin is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure to elements can damage the materials and finish.
How much does each compartment hold?
Each of the two compartments holds 8 gallons (30 L).
Is the soft-close lid adjustable?
The soft-close mechanism is built-in and not adjustable. It is designed to provide quiet closure automatically.

Does it come with any starter bags?
Yes, the bin includes 15 liner bags to help you get started.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not close softly
Ensure the inner buckets are properly seated and not obstructing the lid. Check that no items are preventing the lid from closing freely.
Pedal feels stiff or unresponsive
Check for any debris or obstructions around the pedal mechanism. Ensure the bin is on a level surface, which can affect pedal operation.
Inner bucket is difficult to remove
Gently wiggle the bucket while lifting. Ensure the bin bag is not caught on the rim of the inner bucket or the bin itself.
Exterior surface shows smudges easily
Clean the exterior with a damp microfiber cloth. For fingerprints, a mixture of water and a drop of mild dish soap wiped with a damp cloth, then dried, should suffice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

The inner buckets can be washed with soap and water.
Ensure the bin is completely dry before placing new bags or closing the lid.
