The Functionality of Brabantia Pedal Bins
Pedal bins have long been a popular choice for waste disposal at home, whether as the main kitchen trash can or a compact bathroom bin. One of their biggest advantages is their completely hands-free operation. The lid opens with a light foot pedal and closes smoothly once released, ensuring hygienic use without hand contamination.
Additionally, the soft-close lid prevents noise, making it perfect for families with young children who want to avoid the loud metallic clunk of a bin lid slamming shut. The tight-closing design also helps trap odors, keeping your space fresh. At Brabantia, we know that cleaning or emptying a trash can isn’t the most enjoyable task, so we’ve made it as easy as possible with a removable inner bucket for effortless maintenance.
Using Pedal Bins in Your Kitchen and Bathroom
Pedal bins are a smart choice for both the kitchen and bathroom. The hands-free foot pedal and soft-close lid allow for easy, hygienic waste disposal while cooking, eliminating the need for frequent handwashing. In bathrooms, these bins help protect waste from moisture and humidity, keeping your space cleaner.
With Brabantia’s variety of bin sizes, you can maximize space with discreet, space-saving solutions tailored to your home.
Small vs. Large Bins
Once you determine where your trash can will go, choosing the right size becomes easier. For large families, we recommend a 13-gallon (50L) or 16-gallon (60L) model for the kitchen, while a compact 0.8-gallon (3L) bin is ideal for bathrooms.
For those who want to incorporate waste separation, a multi-compartment Bo Bin is a great choice, allowing you to divide food waste, recyclables, and general trash within one bin.
A Bin to Suit You
We offer a wide range of colors and designs, allowing your chosen pedal bin to seamlessly blend into your home’s style. Choose between a metallic or matte finish, a lightweight plastic frame or a sturdy steel body, and a traditional tall shape or a modern rectangular bin.
For families with young children, a fingerprint-proof finish may be ideal for keeping surfaces cleaner. When it comes to color options, the choices are nearly endless—whether you prefer sleek monochrome tones, bold shades like red and blue, or soft hues like champagne, mint, or terracotta, the decision is yours.
