Product Description
This is a large-capacity, colour-coded pedal bin from Jantex, made from polypropylene and finished in red. At 87 litres, it is designed to handle the volume of waste generated during a busy service period without needing frequent emptying. The foot-pedal mechanism keeps the lid closed at all times unless actively in use, which helps contain odours and reduces contact with the bin itself.
In a working kitchen, hands-free waste disposal is a practical hygiene requirement rather than a convenience. Staff handling raw ingredients, cooked food, or cleaning tasks should not need to touch a bin lid in the process. The pedal operation supports this directly, and the colour-coded red finish helps kitchens that operate a waste-stream or colour-coding system to identify the bin's designated use at a glance.
Practical advantages for day-to-day kitchen use include:
- Hands-free pedal lid keeps waste access hygienic during service
- Red colour coding supports waste segregation and kitchen protocols
- Bin bag hooks inside the body keep liners in place under heavy use
- Close-fitting lid helps minimise odour escape in enclosed kitchen spaces
- Polypropylene construction is robust and straightforward to wipe down
This bin requires no installation — it is a freestanding unit that can be positioned wherever it is most needed. At 4.4kg, it is light enough to reposition easily, though at this size it will need enough floor space to stand clear of main traffic routes. It is not suitable for outdoor use or areas exposed to prolonged direct heat.
Well suited to mid-size to larger kitchens where a high-volume bin is needed at a single waste point. Smaller operations or those needing bins at multiple stations may find a smaller capacity more practical, while very high-throughput environments might consider additional units rather than relying on one.
If you are fitting out a kitchen and working through waste management requirements, we are happy to talk through what will work best for your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It depends on your service volume and how frequently bins are emptied. An 87-litre capacity suits a moderately busy kitchen that empties bins once or twice per shift. Very high-throughput operations — large hotel kitchens or high-volume restaurants — may find they need multiple units positioned across the kitchen rather than relying on a single bin.
- Many kitchens use colour-coded bins to separate different waste streams — for example, general waste, food waste, and recyclables — helping staff dispose of waste correctly and supporting compliance with waste management requirements. Red is a commonly used designation, though your own system should be set up to match your local waste contractor's requirements and any site-specific protocols.
- Yes, the hands-free pedal operation and close-fitting lid make it appropriate for use in food preparation and cooking areas where minimising contact with waste receptacles is important. It should be positioned away from direct heat sources and food prep surfaces, and liners should be changed regularly as part of your kitchen hygiene routine.
