Product Description
This is a large-capacity pedal-operated waste bin made from polypropylene, designed for daily use in commercial kitchens, back-of-house areas, and washrooms. The foot pedal opens the lid without hand contact, which is a straightforward but important feature in food preparation and hygiene-critical environments. The tight-fitting lid closes firmly after each use, containing odours and reducing the risk of airborne contamination spreading around the workspace.
At 87 litres, this bin is well suited to busy kitchens where waste accumulates quickly during service and emptying needs to be kept to a minimum. The polypropylene construction is resistant to knocks and daily wear, and the material is easy to wipe down or clean out at the end of service. Black colouring helps conceal scuffs and marks that are inevitable in a working kitchen environment.
Practical reasons this bin works well in commercial settings:
- Hands-free operation supports cross-contamination controls in food prep areas
- Tight-fitting lid contains odours during busy service periods
- Large capacity reduces how often staff need to stop and change the liner
- Polypropylene construction cleans down easily at end of service
- Robust enough to withstand the pace of a working kitchen without cracking or denting
Worth noting that at this capacity the bin is bulky when full, so placement near a clear route to the waste collection point will make a practical difference. It is intended for general waste or dry waste streams — it is not designed as a food waste caddy or recycling bin, though liner use can adapt it to most waste types.
This bin is a practical choice for kitchens, prep areas, and washrooms where hygiene compliance and high-volume waste management are priorities. Smaller options are available if space is tighter or waste volumes are lower.
If you are fitting out a new site or reviewing your waste management setup and want to make sure you have the right sizes and quantities for your service volume, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most mid-sized kitchens running regular service periods, 87 litres is a practical capacity that keeps liner changes to a manageable frequency without the bin taking up excessive floor space. Very high-volume operations — large events catering or central production kitchens — may find they need multiple bins or a higher-capacity option. If you are unsure, it is worth considering your typical service length and waste output before deciding.
- This bin is designed for general dry waste streams and is not specifically built for wet food waste, which typically requires a dedicated caddy with a sealed or lockable lid to meet local authority requirements. It can be used with a liner to handle a range of waste types, but if food waste segregation is a compliance requirement at your site, a purpose-built food waste container would be more appropriate.
- Polypropylene wipes down readily with standard kitchen sanitiser and a cloth, and the smooth surface does not harbour bacteria in the way that textured or porous materials can. A liner will extend the time between full cleans, but the bin and lid should be wiped down regularly as part of your end-of-service cleaning routine. The pedal mechanism should be checked periodically to ensure it opens cleanly — no lubrication is typically required, but food debris around the hinge should be cleared.
