A kitchen bin is one of the most-used items in the home — yet most are poorly designed for the realities of separating waste, food scraps and recycling. The Joseph Joseph Totem Max 60L Waste Separation Unit in Stone is an award-winning solution that combines general waste, recycling and food waste in a single, space-efficient unit with a clever vertical layout.
Totem's design stacks two 30-litre compartments vertically rather than side-by-side — a general waste compartment at the top and a multi-purpose recycling compartment below, both with removable buckets fitted with integrated bag hooks for securing liners (or two smaller bags for splitting recyclables further). Breather vents in the bucket sides make removing a full liner significantly easier — no more wrestling a bag free from suction. A 3-litre removable food waste caddy is included, which can be stored in either compartment or kept on the worktop for kitchen scraps destined for compost.
A replaceable activated carbon filter sits inside the lid, with airflow technology that reduces moisture buildup — the primary cause of bin odours — keeping the kitchen smelling fresh between empties. The lid features an integrated hook so it can rest against the side of the unit while in use. The Stone finish is a soft, warm neutral that complements both modern and traditional kitchen designs. Wipe clean with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cloths or strong chemicals.
Available at Red Rhino as part of the Joseph Joseph Kenya collection. Also available in Graphite and Carbon Black, and as the more compact Totem Compact 40L. Explore more at Red Rhino.
