Product Description
The Jantex 45-litre pedal bin is a straightforward, practical waste bin designed for day-to-day use in commercial kitchen environments. Constructed from polypropylene, it is operated via a foot pedal, allowing staff to dispose of waste without using their hands — an important consideration in any area where food handling and hygiene standards need to be maintained.
In a working kitchen, keeping surfaces clear during prep and service periods matters. A bin of this size is well suited to moderate-volume prep areas, where food wrappings, offcuts, and general kitchen waste accumulate quickly. The fitted lid helps contain odours, which is particularly useful in warmer kitchen environments where bins can become a hygiene concern if left uncovered.
Practically, this bin offers a few straightforward operational advantages:
- Hands-free foot pedal reduces cross-contamination risk during food prep
- Tight-fitting lid helps contain odours between bag changes
- Polypropylene construction is durable and easy to wipe down
- Red colour coding supports waste segregation practices in compliant kitchens
- Lightweight enough to reposition easily during cleaning
The red colouring is worth noting for kitchens operating a colour-coded waste or cleaning system — it can be assigned a specific waste stream, which supports basic HACCP compliance around waste management. That said, for very high-volume kitchens or sites generating significant waste across multiple stations, a larger-capacity bin or a greater number of units may be more practical than relying on a single 45-litre bin.
If you are unsure how many bins your kitchen requires or how to position them within your waste management setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It depends on the station and service volume. A 45-litre bin works well in moderate prep areas or smaller kitchens, but high-output kitchens generating significant waste across multiple stations may find they need several units positioned at key points, or a higher-capacity bin for central waste collection.
- Many kitchens use colour-coded bins to separate different waste streams as part of their HACCP or waste management procedures. Red is commonly assigned to a specific category — such as general waste or allergen-risk materials — though your own system will determine how you assign it.
- The polypropylene body is easy to wipe down and can be cleaned with standard kitchen sanitising products. Fitting a bin liner is advisable to simplify bag changes and keep the interior in good condition. The lid and pedal mechanism should be included in your regular surface-cleaning routine.
