Pedal Bins
Pedal bins are an efficient and safe way to dispose of waste. They open the lid with a pedal that you press with your foot and close it again automatically.
The modern Pedal Bin is available in different sizes and materials to suit your needs. Its powder-coated steel body and mirror-polished stainless steel lid combine aesthetics, endurance and tactility. Its removable plastic liner is easy to clean.
Aesthetics
Pedal bins have a classic aesthetic that makes them a great choice for both private and public spaces. They’re a simple yet functional solution that can help keep waste organised and tidy, and they’re also durable enough to stand up to hard use in busy environments.
Unlike open bins, which often allow for odours to build up, pedal bins with lids keep odours contained. This means that they are ideal in areas where odours are a concern, such as in hotels or restaurants.
In addition, they prevent the spread of bacteria that could cause cross-contamination. This is essential in food prep areas, hospitals and homes, as it helps to reduce the risk of bacterial infection.
The lid of a pedal bin opens smoothly and silently when you step on the foot pedal. A hidden lock system is beautifully concealed within the bin, while modern materials – including powder-coated steel and mirror-polished stainless steel – combine aesthetics, endurance and tactility. The removable plastic liner is easy to clean and features an intelligent bag lock.
Another great feature of a pedal bin is that they’re hygienic, meaning that they don’t attract germs and odours. This is especially important in food preparation and cleaning areas, where there’s a lot of contact with dirty hands.
These modern designs are available in a range of sizes, so you can find the perfect one to fit your space. A small bin with 30-40 litres will be enough for a family, but it’s worth looking for a larger bin if you have large amounts of waste that needs to be disposed of.
A pedal bin with a lid is also an excellent choice for bathrooms and kitchens. It’s a stylish way to keep rubbish in check and prevent guests from smelling it when they come into the room. Many designs now have soft-closing lids that slowly close as you take your foot off the pedal, so they’re more comfortable for both staff and visitors.
Pedal bins are often part of the popular blomus SONO bath line, which features gentle shapes and perfectly rounded edges that make them a pleasure to use. The buckets are also designed with a slow and gentle closing mechanism that ensures an easy and enjoyable experience when using them.
Convenience
Pedal bins are one of the most convenient types of waste disposal available. They enable hands-free waste disposal, limiting the spread of bacteria and reducing the risk of cross contamination – ideal for use in food pedal bin prep areas, hospitals and washrooms. They also prevent odours from escaping and are more hygienic than bins that require touching.
Moreover, they’re easy to empty with only one hand. This makes them ideal for busy households, restaurants and cafes – you can fill up the bin in seconds without having to bend over or worry about bending your back. In addition, the lid is soft and easy to close – no more fumbling with sticky bin lids!
They’re also a popular choice for hotels. Since the pedal is a moving part, it can break more easily than other kinds of bins, making them less reliable and more likely to need repairs from your maintenance team. Additionally, guests can push them harder than they should, causing the bin to hit the wall and leave marks on the walls which can be hard for your housekeeping staff to fix.
Another benefit of these bins is that they’re often cheaper than sensor bins, which require batteries and need to be replaced more regularly. However, they are more expensive to clean as they tend to get dirty faster.
If you’re looking for a simple and practical solution to your waste disposal problems, consider the pedal bins available from Brabantia. These hygienic waste bins are available in a variety of sizes and colours, all with soft-closing operation and a robust design.
You’ll also find a large selection of options for the bathroom. Depending on your needs, you can opt for an open top bin or a swing top one. Those with an open top are a fast-growing option for hotel bathrooms, as they’re easier to clean than other bins and don’t require any contact at all with the contents inside.
You’ll also find a range of designs, with cylindrical, rectangular and oval bins available in various sizes and vibrant colours. You may prefer a bin that opens at a wide angle, or with a silent soft-close mechanism. If you’re looking for a large-capacity bin, you can choose from options with volumes of up to 152 l.
Durability
Pedal bins are an efficient way to keep waste contained, and they also limit the spread of germs. This makes them ideal for use in food prep areas, hospitals and homes. They’re hygienic and easy to clean, and you can also get pedal bins that are made from stainless steel for added durability.
Whether you’re looking for a metal bin or a plastic option, it’s important to choose something that will last for years. Some pedal bins come with a 10-year guarantee, so you can be sure they’ll work for as long as you need them to.
If you’re looking for a durable pedal bin, look for one with thickened 0.8mm steel construction that will stand up to regular use. This will prevent it from breaking down, and it’ll save you money in the long run as you won’t need to replace it regularly.
Another great feature of this bin is its “no fingerprint” sealing glaze, which helps to keep it clean and shiny. Simply wipe it down with a mild soap and water or a soft damp cloth to keep it in top condition.
This heavy duty metal pedal bin has a smooth, silent closing lid and a removable inner container for easier disposal. It also has a handle for hands-free operation, and an anti-slip base to ensure stability.
It is available in a range of sizes and colours, making it easy to find the right one for your needs. These bins are crafted from durable 304 heavy duty stainless steel, which is designed to withstand everyday use in commercial settings. They’re also resistant to dents and scratches, and the bin is protected at the bottom with a foam rubber tread.
These bins are great for any office, but they’re especially useful in areas where odour control is a concern. They’re a great alternative to open bins and swing bins, and their tight-fitting lids help to keep odours at bay. This makes them perfect for offices, washrooms and other public areas where odour is a problem. They’re also a good choice for busy workplaces that need to reduce the amount of waste they produce.
Cleaning
Whether you have a wheelie bin, kitchen waste bin or food caddy, your rubbish can be a magnet for bacteria and insects so it’s important to keep it clean. The best way to do this is to make cleaning a regular part of your home routine. Using an antibacterial spray cleaner and paper towels is the perfect place to start. You could even add some lemon juice to the mix and see if this helps to get rid of any unpleasant smells.
The first step is to sanitise the bin and lid with an antibacterial spray. It’s also a good idea to use a soft cloth to wipe down the pedal bin interior of the bin as well as the lid.
Next, rinse out the bin thoroughly with warm water and a bit of washing up liquid to remove any excess dirt or grime. You might want to use a scourer or sponge to get rid of any stubborn stains that you can’t remove by hand, and it’s always a good idea to wear gloves so that your hands are protected.
Finally, once you’ve given the bin a thorough clean it’s time to dry it out. You can do this by putting it in your kitchen or bath and giving it a nice hose down, or by hanging it outside and letting it dry out naturally.
In addition to its modern design and practical features, the Pedal Bin by MENU has an enviable ten-year guarantee so that you can be confident it’ll stand the test of time. Its powder-coated steel body and mirror-polished stainless steel lid combines aesthetics, endurance and tactility to create a bin that is sure to last.
