- To organise your kitchen: Keep your kitchen tidy and rubbish out of sight. Choose from bins that fit under the sink, in kitchen cupboards or bins with a foot pedal for easy access.
- Maintain kitchen hygiene: A kitchen rubbish bin typically comes with a lid to prevent odours from escaping and to deter pests like flies and other insects from accessing the contents of your bin and creating an uncomfortable environment.
- Make recycling simple: For the eco-friendly kitchen, recycling is a must. Eliminate the hassle of sorting your recyclables manually with a bin with separate compartments - perfect for separating and holding recyclable items as you go. For example, a dual bin from Brabantia will make the perfect recycle bin for glass and plastic bottles.

Choosing the right rubbish bin size
Depending on the size of your household, you may want to choose a larger bin for bigger households and a smaller one for a household of 1 - 3 persons. Also consider the available space in your home; choose larger bins for spacious areas and smaller bins for compact spaces.
Different types of rubbish bins
- Bins without lids: An open bin is best kept in a cupboard or under the kitchen sink to avoid exposing the smell of your kitchen rubbish. They're also useful for cafeterias or places with high traffic where people can easily dispose or scrape food into the bin where liners are continually changed.
- Step pedal or motion sensor bins: Hands-free convenience! A step pedal bin or automatic motion sensor bin are great if you don’t have cupboard storage space, want a larger kitchen bin or the convenience of hands free.
- Pull-out bins: Hidden in kitchen cupboards, pull-out bins keep your rubbish bin out of sight. These bins are also good for small spaces such as apartment living as they don’t take up floor space.
- Wall mounted bins: Conveniently mounted on walls, free-ing up space on your floor. Perfect for compact spaces.
