best kitchen recycling bins



Recycling as much of our waste as possible has never been more important, but it’s a process that often gets neglected amidst the business of our everyday lives – which is precisely why a decent kitchen recycling bin is so important.Get more news about recycling bin,you can vist our website!

Ten years ago, this type of bin was rarely a thing of beauty – more often than not they’d be constructed from concrete-grey slabs of plastic best hidden away in the darkest corners of our kitchen, making it all too easy to neglect our recycling responsibilities.

Despite living in a two-person household, we get through a surprisingly large amount of rubbish of all types, although we’re also avid recyclers, so testing recycling bins for kitchens was a (albeit slightly pongy, at times) breeze. We developed a whole new appreciation for pedal mechanisms and bin liner rims, and spent more time than we care to remember inserting and removing liners of all shapes and sizes.

In short, you can rest assured we put every single bin through its paces. Our priorities were ease of use, appearance and the bin’s ability to blend in – our pet hates include clanging lids and awkward shapes, none of which blighted our bin testing session on this occasion, thank goodness.
This is a bin that looks great in kitchens, as well as living rooms and offices. Its slate-inspired colour scheme minimises the risk of a colour clash, and it achieves that rare feat of being both incredibly practical and effortlessly stylish. The features we loved the most are simple ones often overlooked, whether it’s the dual pedals (in our experience, most dual bins rely on one pedal to open a single lid, but here both bins have separate lids and pedals), the deeply inset handles on the side, or the fact that bin lids don’t slam open fully when the pedal is pressed – they don’t quite reach a vertical axis, minimising the risk of wall marks. The flush surface means it’s easy to clean, and the generously-sized holes in each bin make fitting liners easy. And trust us, when a bin looks this fabulous, bin liner muffin top is a major faux pas.

This is a brilliant option for larger kitchens, and fantastic proof that larger bins don’t mean sacrificing everything in the style stakes. We love a high gloss finish but we’re wary of fingerprints, and all too often so-called fingerprint-proof bins don’t cut the mustard. Not so with this one, which remained stubbornly pristine, even after we’d used wet hands to grapple with the bin as we removed a seriously stubborn liner. We loved the fact that the wide foot pedal had grip marks for easy opening, and the tall, slim bins are easily removable and big on practicality, with stuff holes for excess bin liner material and generously sized metal handles on both. The soft closing – a rare thing on a bin of this size – was a welcome surprise, too.

This tardis-like bin comprises two bins beneath the smoothest finish we’ve ever felt – one which is so smooth we couldn’t stop touching it (and trust us, we’ve never said that about a kitchen bin before). It’s got a simple, sleek design which makes it ideal for stylish, smaller kitchens – it’s large enough to gobble up a decent amount of waste, and a flash of bright green (added to differentiate one bin from the other) cranks up the style credentials. There’s plenty of practicality too, including internal holes to ensure bin liners can be pulled tight, raised plastic tabs on both bins for easy removal and four chunky rubber feet to protect hard floors. It’s also easy to clean (which is essential when it comes to our kitchen bin criteria), because of its open top design and easily removable rim.

Recycling kitchen bins in pastel hues are few and far between, and on the rare occasions we’ve stumbled across one, they’ve rarely been things of beauty. Unlike this chunk of pastel perfection – a pale green bin with a smooth matte finish and two surprisingly roomy bins (both with looped handles) tucked beneath a soft close lid. We love the fact that one bin is a little larger – there’s almost always one type of waste people produce more of – and we’re seriously impressed by the top-quality feel, which relates to everything from the sturdiness of the foot pedal to the lid closure mechanism.
