Pull out bin cupboard

We have one that’s a single bin, swing bin liner size. It’s great. Didn’t want the small fiddle ones.kind of wish we’d lost a bit of cupboard space for a double one for recycling…but in reality we have a utility with recycling boxes that’s only a few steps away.

the bin is hidden away, doesn’t smell, only fills up as quickly as a swing bin and saves floor space.

Maybe do more research. Our bin storage is large, the volume of a base unit. How is it any more unhygienic than a free standing bin? Ours gets emptied daily anyway, as who wants several days worth of waste sitting in the room?
And uncool? It’s a bin..

I love ours, we have 2 decent sized bins, front for rubbish, back for recycling. They’re at the end of the cupboard row, by the back door so easy to take out. If I know I’m going to prep meat I just open it up first so don’t have to touch the handle! Would never go back to a different bin.

I love ours. It’s the size of a single base unit and has two large and two small bins . I hate freestanding bins which are always an afterthought and spoil the look of a kitchen. Having a large built in bin was a priority when we designed our kitchen, along with most of the storage being in pull out drawers -a complete game changer.

I see I'm in the minority but I fucking hate them. Give me a foot pedal any day. Big bin which can take at least a few days of waste. Currently designing our new kitchen and really find the integrated bins shit, small, unhygienic and very uncool 😄

Love mine! Ours is just a bin, no separate recycling compartments etc so fits a normal sized bin bag. Much prefer having it hidden away than an ugly bin taking up space in the rest of the kitchen. Bonus is that our toddler can't get to it 😂

We have a double one, one for paper and card, one for plastics cans and glass as that all goes in our green bin together. Then we have a normal bin for general waste (but it's a pretty Orla kiely one so I quite like looking at it 😄)

We've got a small pull out cupboard one which we use for the general non recycling bin then we've got a little one at the back where we put plastic bags that need to be recycled at shops. The shelf above holds the food recycling bin plus the bin bags etc. Then we have our 2 bins for the paper and plastic/glass recycling under the stairs. We had our kitchen redone about 2 years ago (on 4th kitchen in 7 years due to moving house) and this is our best kitchen, mostly due to the amount of drawers and use of space.

They are brilliant, strongly recommend working one into the design.

I have a narrow cupboard sized one for recycling and wish I'd had two fitted but they are crazy expensive.

When my parents got their kitchen done they had the cupboard fitted but bought the bin and mechanism separately online and saved well over £100.

Best thing ever.

I have two, as my area is rubbish with recycling and you don't have to split anything. I use the front one for general waste, so I prep on the counter above and can just wipe waste into the bin. I absolutely love not seeing bins in my kitchen.

Love ours. I always recommend them!

Very pleased with ours, but make sure it is big - ours is actually 2 side by side in one cupboard - very big in total. I hate those tiny ones that are only the size of a small cylindrical bucket (sometimes come across them in holiday lets, full after half a day!)

We have one with two bins and it's fantastic, but it's big enough. And we have plenty of other cupboard space.
I didn't want a freestanding bin to spoil the look of the kitchen personally.

Just ripped ours out - too small and the lid kept jamming, this was removed months ago, was also difficult to clean - replaced it for a large double bin by the kitchen door now.

I hate them. The bins either make poor use of the space in the cupboard or are small meaning they need to be emptied very frequently. I'd much rather have an extra cupboard or set of drawers for storage and a separate large kitchen bin.

I definitely want one fitted when we get a new kitchen. I'd get a 2 compartment one as with 3 kids we fill the bins quite quickly.

My current bins are old and disgusting and smell pretty terrible even after cleaning but I'm holding off replacing them for that mythical new kitchen...

Love mine. It’s in a 600 unit with 2 large bins for waste and recycling and a food waste smaller bin with an extra lid. Would def have one again if space allowed.

I like mine but wish I'd had two fitted. Mine has two larger bins and two smaller bins at the back but the smaller ones aren't useful so I just store bin bags and other things in them. This means all the cardboard and soft plastics get stored elsewhere.

I agree with the dirty handle issue. I would install a foot pull on the bottom of it so you don't have to touch the handle in the middle of preparing a chicken.

Love ours...best thing we did

We are happy with ours - 2 50litre rectangular shaped bins - front is normal rubbish and back is recycling. Our area doesn't separate plastic and paper so only 2 needed, our glass box is outside as we don't often have glass bottles anyway. As others have said a metal sheet comes down over the bins when it's closed to trap smells. And there is a little shelf at the top for bin bags and I also store tin foil and cling film rolls there.

I don't find it a faff opening at all as it just pulls out like a drawer and as general waste is at the front I can just half pull it out and swipe any crumbs etc off the side straight in. Saves having a free standing bin taking up space in kitchen. I wasn't sure they'd be worth the money but I'm glad we did it.

I got a new kitchen at the end of last year with a bin drawer with 3 bins and it is my favourite part of the kitchen by a mile. I was so excited to get a wine fridge and wish I hadn’t bothered because it never gets the wine cold enough. But my bin drawer, which was literally the last thing we added 5
minutes before we signed off the design, is hands down the best thing I could have gotten.

My sister has one and it was really annoying as the individual compartments are so small. My work also has them and they are also small! I would find them way too much faff. We have a large-ish freestanding one where a large bin bag lasts for days and I wouldn’t change it.

The three compartment ones are a pain in the arse as they are so small you spend every day emptying them - way too small.

Love mine.
ours has 3 bins in it, it’s lined with metal to keep in smells and has a little shelf on top that we keep bin bag rolls, anti vac wipes on etc.
we use one for rubbish, one for recycling and the small one for washing, things like a pair of socks that gets taken off down stairs or the tea towels.
Only annoying thing is the duet that gets down the join of the metal inner and the door
