Kitchen & Waste Bins
Every kitchen needs a bin, and most need a few to dispose of recycling and food waste alongside general refuse. Kitchen bins are convenient when you’re prepping food, discarding vegetable skins, recycling packaging and more - after all, nobody wants to make several trips to the wheelie bin outside every time they need to throw something away.
To make your time in the kitchen that bit easier, we’ve got bins for everything, all under one roof. From compost bins and food waste caddies to pedal bins and clever two-compartment options, our wide range of kitchen bins cater for all of your kitchen cast-offs and take the strain out of sorting your waste.
Pedal & press top kitchen bins
Kitchen space can often be at a premium, so making sure everything in the room works hard for its place can be crucial. When you’re choosing a kitchen bin, consider how much space you have at your disposal and what kind of bin will be practical for your needs. Pedal bins are a clean option that you can operate easily without using your hands - ideal for busy cooks - but a two compartment bin comes in handy for separating waste for recycling. You might prefer a bin with an easy-open touch bar and space-efficient hinges so it can sit flush against the wall, or be happy to settle for a standard budget-friendly bin with no frills. The good news is that we’ve got them all here at Lakeland.
Clean lines
If space is too tight even for a slimline bin or you’re simply after a clean and uncluttered look in the kitchen, tucking the kitchen bin away inside a cupboard can free up extra room (with the added benefit of containing smells). An under sink bin is a practical option for keeping the kitchen neat and tidy, and it’s easy to access when you’re busy preparing food. It’s a hygienic choice, too, since you can wash your hands on the spot after disposing of rubbish.
On track
A pull out kitchen bin is another great option for a clutter-free kitchen. These clever contraptions are hidden inside a cupboard and have bearings underneath to slide the bin out on a track. Simply pull the handle to access the bin. When it’s time to empty the waste, the bucket lifts out of its frame for maximum convenience. Take a look at our range of pull out kitchen bins from innovative brands like EKO, which come with a five-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
Food for thought
We’re all keener than ever to do our bit for the environment and composting or recycling our food waste is a sustainable way to make use of what we don’t need. Leftover food can be converted into fertiliser for agriculture, and the gases produced by rotting food can also be used as a source of natural energy. A food waste bin is ideal for collecting organic waste like apple cores, vegetable peel and leftover meals, but you can also use your food caddy as a tea bag bin, since tea bags are biodegradable. We’ve also got a range of tabletop compost bins, so you can save scraps to help your garden grow.
