Full details
The Amazon Basics 60L Rectangular Dustbin is an ideal waste management solution for busy households, commercial kitchens, or professional office environments seeking a hygienic, touch-free experience. By utilizing advanced motion sensor technology to automatically open and close the lid, it effectively minimizes the spread of bacteria and traps unpleasant odors. While its large 60L capacity is highly efficient, users should note that it requires two D alkaline batteries to operate, which are not typically included in the box.
