Pedal bins remain popular because they let you open the lid without using your hands. In compact rooms, a small pedal bin can be more practical than a large kitchen-style dustbin.
Where a 5L pedal bin works best
The Brabantia NewIcon 5L White pedal bin is suited to bathrooms, guest washrooms, bedrooms, home offices and other areas where waste volume is modest.
Why choose a pedal bin?
- Hands-free opening
- Controlled lid operation
- Compact footprint
- Easy placement beside counters or sanitary areas
5L versus larger bins
A 5L bin is deliberately compact. For a main kitchen, most households will need more capacity. For bathrooms and secondary waste points, however, the smaller size reduces visual bulk and encourages frequent emptying.
