Which type of kitchen bin is best?
There are many different types of kitchen bins to choose from at Leekes. Pick the one that suits your needs the best with our list below.
Pedal bins
One of the most popular options is the pedal bin. This hands-free solution is an ideal practical choice as you can use both hands to dispose of any rubbish using the foot pedal! These bins come in a variation of colours, sizes and configurations so you can find the perfect one to match your kitchen’s style. You could even separate your rubbish with a double pedal bin.
Press-top bin
Avoid the pedal mechanism altogether with a press-top bin! These work by simply pressing the lid to reveal the bin underneath – it’s a super easy option and perfect if you would prefer not to use your feet!
Sensor bins
For the ultimate hygienic solution, our selection of sensor bins is perfect. The high-tech design avoids pedals or buttons and reacts to your movements
What are the different kitchen bin sizes?
Small bins are perfect for compact spaces, but if you have a big family or you cook often, larger bins will do the job. We stock many different kitchen bin sizes at Leekes, so you can go ahead and find the one that fits your lifestyle in our collection.
10 litre to 30 litre bins for small kitchens
If you have a small family, a 10 litre, 12 litre or 30 litre kitchen bin could be the perfect solution. These small bins are also space-saving for a compact kitchen.
40 litre to 48 litre bins for medium kitchens
We have a selection of medium-sized kitchen bins that range from 40 litres to 48 litres. These options have a good amount of storage but, depending on the shape, might not be able to be concealed in a cupboard.
50 litre to 60 litre bins for large kitchens
If medium or small bins won’t do the job, there are many other options to consider. Large bins range from 50, 55 to 60 litres – all of which we stock at Leekes. These kitchen bin sizes are ideal for larger families. And, you won't need to empty it too often!
How do to hide your kitchen bins?
Not everyone wants their kitchen bin on display. Whether this is for aesthetic or space-saving reasons, a popular way to conceal a bin is by popping it in a kitchen cupboard. Dedicate one cupboard to the kitchen bin but note that a pedal bin might not be a good fit here. You could choose a compartment bin for even more convenient waste management. Explore our fabulous range of shapes, from rectangle to totem and semi-round bins.
