Product Information
Full details
The Wesco Pushboy 50L is an iconic, high-capacity waste bin designed for individuals or businesses seeking a durable, aesthetic solution for high-traffic environments like kitchens or offices. It offers a generous 50-litre capacity and a robust steel construction that effectively seals odors with its signature stainless steel flap, though its substantial 75.5 cm height requires adequate clearance under counters or in tight spaces.

FAQs
Does this bin require specific trash bags?
While it does not require proprietary bags, a standard high-capacity heavy-duty liner works best with the 50L volume.
Can the Pushboy be used outdoors?
It is primarily designed for indoor use; prolonged exposure to the elements may affect the steel finish.
Is the stainless steel flap removable?
The flap is part of the integrated lid assembly and is not designed to be frequently removed by the end user.
How do I clean the powder-coated body?
Use a damp, soft microfiber cloth with a mild detergent; avoid steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
Is the metal liner rust-proof?
The liner is designed for dry and wet waste, but we recommend regular cleaning and drying to prevent long-term corrosion.
Troubleshooting
The flap sticks or does not close properly
Check for debris caught in the hinge mechanism or an overfilled bin causing waste to obstruct the flap's path.
Scratches on the floor
Inspect the plastic floor protection ring at the base for dirt or wear; clean the ring and the floor surface to restore the barrier.
Odor escaping
Ensure the internal liner is properly seated and that the flap hinge is clean, allowing it to gravity-close fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple as the unit arrives pre-assembled; simply place the metal liner inside the shell and position the unit in your desired location. Given the 40 cm x 40 cm footprint and 75.5 cm height, ensure you have sufficient vertical clearance if placing it near islands or tables. For care, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the finish. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the powder coating or the stainless steel flap. Periodically remove the metal liner to rinse it with water and disinfectant to ensure a hygienic environment.
