Howdens kitchens - which bin bags?

29 replies

I can't believe I am posting about bin bags, but here goes.

Has anyone got a Howden's kitchen with the three pull out bins - two of them are 32L and one is 21L? I am struggling to find bin bags that fit around the top of the bins, as they're all too narrow at the top - even the ones that are 50L. What does everyone else use?

(apologies for the very middle class un-rock and roll question!)

You're not buying the tall thin bags are you? Maybe try normal 50l ones

Simple human J size fit the big bins

I only put a liner in the general waste bin, use the other for washed recycling.

@findyourbacon Did you find an answer to your original query? I'd love to know what bin liner(s) to use for these bins as having the same dilemma!

@Mads117
Yes, I now use the Simple Human size J. They're not cheap, but I order them on Amazon Subscribe and Save, so they're a bit cheaper!

@findyourbacon thank you! Fed up of buying the wrong sized bin bags Smile

I have the 2x44L bins from Howdens and am also struggling to find bin bags that fit them...

I've looked at the SimpleHuman site and there are a load of coded bags but it doesn't seem to say what size each one is! www.simplehuman.co.uk/collections/refills-liners

Anyone know which bags would fit 44L rectangular bins pls? The circumference of the top is 134cm

Cheers

Did you find an answer to this, devotee? We have the same bins and I can’t work it out either!

Sambucus · 17/03/2023 09:49

Thank you, Notme. Very prompt response! will give them a try.

Foxredleo · 01/04/2023 23:18

Did the simplehuman U binliners work? I also have the same howdens 44L bins and struggling.

Sambucus · 02/04/2023 10:39

Hi Foxred. Am sorry to report that they are huge - in all dimensions! It’s back to square one. Let me know if you have better luck

Foxredleo · 02/04/2023 11:08

Thanks for responding back so quickly Sambucus. Oh that's a shame but also a relief as they are quite pricey, and for the U binliners they only seem to sell in packs of 3 not single packs. Have you tried other codes from simplehuman? I've got the J but they are too small.

I'll let you know if I have any luck. Have you tried brabantia?

Many thanks

Sambucus · 02/04/2023 12:19

Not tried any others yet - I might try asking Howdens, but we now have a lot of U bags to use up in the meantime!

Foxredleo · 03/04/2023 00:00

Good idea asking howdens! Many thanks for your help

NotMeNoNo · 03/04/2023 13:29

Sorry that website was misleading. Can you work out from how much "too large" they are, which Simplehuman size would be better. Eg there might be one the same width but not as deep. The actual binbag sizes are all on the website.

Foxredleo · 06/04/2023 11:50

Thank you notmenono, I'll message my bin and take a look on the simple human website

Sambucus · 01/07/2023 14:13

Thank you, Foxred, for your extensive research on our behalf. I will be ordering! Ich

Devotee101 · 20/07/2023 10:18

Fantastic find! Ordered a pack of these and they fit really well!

Thank you so much for finding these and sharing the details!

Foxredleo · 20/07/2023 14:27

No problem and you're very welcome :)

Sambucus · 23/07/2023 20:22

You’re right, Foxred! They are perfect. The Howdens Bin Dilemma finally solved. Thank you 😊

Foxredleo · 24/07/2023 06:51

Happy I could help, and that we finally solved the mystery lol!

alfienoakes1967 · 13/12/2023 13:13

jumping in on this thread as just had a howdens kitchen installed - is there a bag which fits the 21L bin? Dimensions are 36cm x 16 cm and 43 cm deep? thank you!
