Product Information

Full details

The SONGMICS Double Rubbish Bin in Black is designed for households seeking an efficient and elegant solution for waste management and recycling. Its key benefit lies in its dual compartments, simplifying waste sorting, all housed within a durable, easy-to-clean steel exterior. A potential consideration is its footprint, requiring adequate space in your kitchen. This bin features two 20-litre compartments, a soft-close lid, a prop-open function, removable inner buckets, and a wide, durable foot pedal.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not close softly.

Ensure the bin is not overfilled and that no objects are obstructing the lid's path. Check that the inner buckets are seated correctly.

Foot pedal feels stiff or unresponsive.

Check for any debris or obstructions around the pedal mechanism. Ensure the inner buckets are not preventing the pedal from operating freely.

Exterior shows water spots or streaks.

Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth immediately after. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents.

Bin bag is difficult to secure.

Ensure you are using appropriately sized bin bags (approx. 20 litres). Utilize the rear bag securing hole as intended by folding the bag edges over the inner bucket rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the bin and remove any protective packaging.

  4. Place a suitable rubbish bag into each inner bucket, folding the edges over the rim.
