Constructed from durable brushed stainless steel with a grey plastic lid, this bin boasts a generous 45-litre capacity, suitable for busy households and those seeking efficient waste disposal.

The silent, soft-close lid utilises patented Shox technology, preventing any jarring noises when opening and closing, avoiding the typical bang of standard pedal bins.
