Can anyone recommend a good kitchen bin?

[a1234567]

Hi all - I'm after a good quality mid-priced kitchen bin. I'm on my own so it doesn't need to be family sized, but maybe something with a recycling compartment as well. It's to go under a countertop, so would need to fit under that. Thank you in advance!

However, if you’re short on time, here’s a summary of the kitchen bins and brands Mumsnetters are recommending on this thread:

🗑 Brabantia Bo Touch Bin Hi - 2 x 30L Inner Buckets, £152

🗑 simplehuman CW1830 46L Rectangular Recycling Kitchen Pedal Bin, £135

🗑 SONGMICS Kitchen Bin 30L, £65

🗑 Joseph Joseph Totem Max 60 Litre Waste Separation and Recycling Kitchen Bin, £188

MNHQ

These make the most efficient use of space in a cupboard, lots of size and divider options too: www.hafele.co.uk/en/products/kitchen-fittings-accessories-appliances/kitchen-bins/19/

I absolutely love my Simple Human one. It's as perfect as a bin can be - well worth the investment!

Another vote for brabantia, i had my last one 10 years and only changed as i broke it. Keeps the smell in

After a lot of searching we recently bought the Joseph Joseph Totem but the 40l one not the 60 for a small space.
I'm so sad becauseI live it and my bin makes me so happy.

Simple human touch top is great. Bought mine almost twenty years ago and still just as good. My elderly aunt had bin envy when she saw it so I bought her one as a present.

Hi. I’m really interested in buying a Brabantia 40l touch top bin but what is putting me off is whether I need to buy their bin liners too as they are expensive. Can I use my normal black refuse bags or not? Any advice greatly appreciated

I wouldn't worry. I buy the bags for my Brabantia in Home Bargains. I'm sure you'll find something for yours in there, too.
