How to Install an In-Cupboard Kitchen Bin

Modern kitchens serve so many purposes; we cook, clean, socialise and work here, so it’s no surprise that we want to make sure they’re as functional as possible. And one of the most practical ways to do this is by maximising the available space with clever storage solutions. Installing an in-cupboard kitchen bin comes with a host of benefits, with many customers highlighting their integrated bin as one of the kitchen essentials they couldn’t do without. A bin that you fit into your cabinet frees up floor space and keeps waste hidden while also providing a convenient recycling station. These bins are also relatively simple for the competent DIYer to install – so long as you have the right instructions! It’s worth noting that a carpenter or handy person can install a bin for you, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a kitchen fitter. Here’s what you need to know before installing your integrated kitchen recycling bin. How to Turn a Kitchen Cabinet into a Bin There are several ways to turn your kitchen cupboard into a recycling bin, with a great selection of products for cabinets with pull-out doors, hinged doors and options suitable to fit under sinks. How you fit your bin will largely depend on what kind of cupboard you’re installing it into, as the corresponding bin units will have different frames and measurements. Anyone can turn their kitchen cabinet into a bin as in-cupboard bins can be retrofitted into existing cabinets or added to your new build. If you’re in the design stage and you or your kitchen fitter would like any more details on any of our in-cupboard products, get in touch with the Binopolis team, and we’ll be happy to help.. If you’re sold on the idea of an in-cupboard bin but aren't sure where to start or are still considering products, check out our guide to the best kitchen bins from the best brands for a snapshot of some of our bestselling bins. We stock bins from industry-leading brands like Wesco, Hailo and Vauth-Sagel, so you can be sure you’re getting the utmost quality. Where to Install Your Integrated Bin While most people probably don’t have a spare cupboard that doesn't get used at all, you might have one that doesn’t make the most of its storage potential and would serve you better when repurposed as a bin. Where you install a bin in your existing kitchen will likely come down to your layout and the dimensions of your cabinets. If you have a 600mm-wide cupboard you can spare, this will allow you to fit some of our biggest capacity bins, ensuring you won’t have to empty rubbish as frequently. However, you’d be surprised by how much capacity even a narrow 300mm cabinet can hold. If you can devote a cabinet like this to a bin, you can have up to 40 litres of recycling capacity ingeniously hidden inside. Measuring Up for Your Kitchen Bin When you’re choosing an in-cupboard bin, you’ll first need to establish three key measurements that’ll indicate which bin you can fit. These include: Cabinet width (internal and external) Cabinet height (typical cabinets are usually 680mm) Cabinet depth (kitchen cabinets are generally somewhere between 450mm and 600mm) We stock an extensive range of products to fit numerous cabinet sizes, so you will likely find something to fit your cupboards even if they have non-standard measurements. You can see the measurements and dimensions for all our products in their product description, so provided your own measurements are accurate, you should have no problem finding a bin to fit your cupboard. You can read our buying guide to in-cupboard bins for more information and some additional tips on measuring up. How to Install In-Cupboard Bins for Cabinets with Pull-Out Doors Bins for cabinets with pull-out doors are a precise fit to the internal width of the cabinet. Where we say bins for 400mm doors, for example, that is the starting point to identify the size of base unit or cabinet that the model is designed to fit, but from there it’s important to check that your internal width is correct for the product. For instance, the internal width for a cabinet with a 400mm wide door is likely to be within a tolerance of 362-368mm, which the bin needs to fit to in order to function properly. Once you’ve checked the internal width, please then check the internal depth you have, from front inner edge to the back panel or wall, as depth is the dimension which varies most across cabinets and also bin models. Finally check the height inside the cabinet, you may have the full height to devote to a bin, but if you have a top drawer or simply don’t need the tallest capacity bins, there are lower height models to choose from. Most of our pull-out products come with soft-close runners to allow for easy operation. You will need to fit these runners to the sides of the cabinet casing, which can take some skill as you’ll need to ensure they are level. You will also need to attach the bin unit to the back of your cabinet door, again ensuring everything is properly aligned. All of our bins for cabinets with pull-out doors come with instructions or fitting templates specific to each model to ensure installation is as straightforward as possible. If you would particularly like a model with a fitting template included, look for Vauth-Sagel, Hailo, Gollinucci and Blanco models which all come with a card template which is held up to the cabinet sides and door, giving you the exact fixing positions. However models from Wesco, Ninka and Tecnoinox do come with printed instructions and we also send our customers buying these models our own detailed fitting notes by email. So, you or your fitter will have all the necessary fitting information, and we are here to answer any additional fitting queries. Pull-Out In-Cupboard Bins Frequently Asked Questions We are often asked about these particular points: Can I convert a hinged door cabinet to a pull-out? In principle you can remove a door from its hinges so that it becomes a panel to apply to the front of a bin unit for pull-out doors. One issue is that if you have a handle down one side of the door, this may not be ideal over years of pulling out a finely-balanced pull-out bin, which are best pulled out from the centre of the door, but if you can alter the handle position, or possibly create a routing or groove for pulling out, this will help. I have an in-frame cabinet: how do I fit a pull-out bin? The key dimension here is the width of the ‘exit’ through the frame, which will be the door width. Because the bin unit needs to pull out through the frame, this width will determine the size of the bin unit to fit. If the internal cabinet width is wider than the width of the frame/door, you will need to line or batten the inside cabinet sides to achieve the correct fitting width for the bin model. For example, if you have a 600mm base unit with a framed door, you will likely need a bin unit from the section for ‘500mm doors’, because these will fit to an internal width of 462-468mm and therefore should pull out through the frame. One point to check here is with doors which may have a thinner central panel – if the door has a thicker surround, this needs to be wide enough to accommodate secure fixing of the door brackets. My cabinet is a non-standard size: can I fit a bin for pull-out doors? The internal width of a cabinet is the key dimension in determining which bin unit you can fit. If you have a bespoke or unusual internal width, you should be able to batten or line the internal sides to achieve the correct width as specified on the product page. If you have a restricted depth front to back, or lower height, there are many options with shorter fitting depths or lower heights. Remember, if it appears that your internal depth is not enough to fit the bin you’re interested in, it can be possible to remove the upper part of a back panel in order to free up more depth. If you’re still unsure about which bin is right for you, explore some of our most popular products in our guide to the best integrated bins for 600mm-wide pull-out cabinets. How to Install In-Cupboard Bins for Cabinets with Hinged Doors Generally, the bins for cabinets with hinged doors are the simplest installations. Many of these bins have a metal frame which screws to the base of the cabinet, giving you some leeway as to where you position it within the width of the cupboard. These bins are very easy to fit, with most requiring just 4-6screws to hold the bin in place – when installed, you simply open the door and pull the bin out from the cabinet with the panel at the front. When pushed back in, the door then closes. As these models are self-contained units, each bin will fit any cabinet with the minimum designated width or wider. It’s worth noting that the largest capacity double compartment bins for hinged door cabinets are under the heading of ‘400mm hinged doors’ – these can fit cabinets of this size upwards. You could position the bin unit on one side of a wider cabinet and use the remaining space for extra storage. Each in-cupboard bin for cabinets with hinged doors comes with specific measurements, so you can get a good idea of how it will fit within your cupboard. We also have a selection of bins which attach to a hinged cabinet door and swing out when the door is opened, allowing for easy access. These bins tend to be cylindrical or in a rectangular shape to fit across the back of the door. Please check the space that you have inside the cupboard if looking at this type, as many have lids which stay inside the cupboard and the volume of the bin itself needs to swing back into the cabinet too. In-cupboard Bins for Hinged Door Cabinets Frequently Asked Questions We are often asked about these particular points: I have a 600mm or wider hinged door cabinet, what are my bin options? There is one Blanco bin model (pictured below shown under a sink) made to fit across a 600mm cabinet, but you can also fit any hinged door model by positioning it either in the centre or to one side of the cabinet (checking the depth and height of each model too). It can be possible to fit two bins for a 300mm cabinet into a 600mm unit, side by side. This method could offer up to 80 litres of capacity by fitting two 40L single bins, or perhaps one single and one double compartment bin, to create a 3 compartment recycling set up. How do the bin units fit round the hinges inside the cabinet? The product widths given for the bins which fix to the base of hinged door cabinets are measured at the maximum point, which is across the back of the lid. The height of these bins is designed to fit below the top hinge in most installations, and, at the bottom front of the bin, the combination of tapered bin containers and the open nature of the steel frame means that the units are designed to fit away from the bottom hinge in most common hinge sizes and designs. How to Install In-Cupboard Bins for Under-Sink Cabinets The same general fitting instructions as above will likely apply to bins for under-sink cabinets, with some additional considerations. If you are installing a bin in an under-sink cupboard, the bin you choose will need a lower height and shorter depth than other in-cupboard options as you’ll have to fit it in front of or below pipework and plumbing. This is why understanding the correct measurements is essential, whether you would like a pull-out door for your sink cabinet or whether the door will be on hinges. To find out which of our bins are most suitable for under-sink installation, see our guide to the best kitchen bins for under-sink cabinets. Our bins in this range will come with specific fitting instructions for each product, along with a fitting video for additional guidance. The simplest installations include bins for cabinets with hinged doors, or lower height and depth models for pull-out doors. Blanco, Hailo and Vauth-Sagel bins all come with a card template giving you all fixing positions needed for accurate fitting. So long as you choose the correct size model and follow the fitting instructions supplied with your bin, whether a template or working from our emailed detailed notes, installation shouldn’t be a problem. There are plenty of ways to get the most out of your waste storage systems, and installing an in-cupboard bin might just be the perfect space-saving solution for your kitchen!

The Best Kitchen Bins for Under-Sink Cabinets

If you’re looking for ways to maximise your bin storage, making the most of the cabinet space under your sink could be the ideal solution. Putting a bin in your under-sink cupboard means you can store rubbish out of sight while keeping it in a handy, central location that is often underutilised. As you’ll have to work around pipes and plumbing, bins with a low height and shallow depth are perfect options for these spaces. We have a great range of kitchen bins that fit the bill in this regard, with varying capacity options that have numerous compartments. Our in-cupboard bins for potential under-sink installation are also available for pull out and hinged door cabinets, ensuring you can find a product that works for your space, providing a convenient recycling and waste storage solution. What Size Bin Do You Need for Under-Sink Cabinets? Sizing a bin to go under your sink can be more challenging than doing so for regular cupboard spaces. This is because you’ll need to work around plumbing and the limited cupboard depth. If you’re looking to install a bin in an existing under-sink cupboard, check the available height under the U-bend and the remaining depth in front of any other plumbing to ensure you measure for a shallow enough bin. If you are planning to incorporate one of our in-cupboard bins for potential under-sink installation into a new kitchen, consider whether the plumbing can be made to work around your chosen model. Sometimes positioning pipework even a centimetre or so higher can make the difference between being able to fit a bin or not. Our selection of bins that work well in under-sink cupboards tend to be shorter and are typically under 450mm in depth, with options for a depth of as little as 325mm. Check out our buying guide to in-cupboard kitchen bins for more insight into sizing and choosing in-cupboard bins for various cabinet types. The Best In-Cupboard Bins for Under-Sink Cabinets with Pull-Out Doors Even when considering these size requirements, there are plenty of options for under-sink cabinets with pull-out doors to choose from, with efficient design from leading brands, including Wesco, Hailo and Blanco. Wesco Pullboy-Z Bin for Under-Sink Cabinets The Wesco Pullboy-Z 34L two-compartment integrated bin is a fantastic option for shallow cabinets, requiring space to accommodate a depth of just 403mm and a height of 335mm. Equipped with two separate compartments, this model offers plenty of capacity for the average household and provides a convenient way to sort different kinds of waste. Operation is smooth and effortless with full extension, soft close runners, and, like many of our bins, this model is complete with a steel lid that can act as a handy shelf to store liners or cleaning products. If you have a large household and tend to fill your bin up fairly quickly, a larger capacity bin may serve you better, in which case a bin located under a sink bin is unlikely to give you the space you need and you would be better served using a full height cabinet or the space under a drawer. Hailo Cargo Synchro Bin for Under-Sink Cabinets Hailo offers some brilliant in-cupboard products, including those suitable for under-sink installation. The Hailo Cargo Synchro three-compartment 54L recycler is a particularly good example. It has a depth of 405mm and height of 424mm, packing in plenty of capacity to ensure no inch of cupboard space goes to waste. With one 28 litre and two 13 litres buckets, sorting rubbish is easy – one of the smaller compartments also comes with a lid making it ideal for food waste. All the compartments have easy access and are covered by a sheet steel lid topped with an anti-slip rubber mat. This product is also equipped with Grass Nova Pro soft-close over-extension runners for quiet, easy operation, adding to the overall quality of the design. The Hailo Cargo Synchro range is available in several other sizes, with varying capacities, compartments and door widths. Blanco Select Bin For Under-SInk Cabinets Blanco is another brand known for its expert designs and sleek products. If you need a bin for a tight space, especially like that under a sink, something like the Blanco Select 50 two-compartment 38L recycler is ideal; it measures just 361mm high and has a fitting depth of 450mm. For convenient sorting, the compact, efficient design houses two compartments, each 19 litres. These buckets can also be easily lifted out to ensure you can clean and empty them with ease. Like other similar products, the Blanco Select range is equipped with a handy steel lid and soft close runners. You can find this model in various sizes that give a little more capacity. The Best In-Cupboard Bins For Under-Sink Cabinets with Hinged Doors There are also some excellent products to choose from if your under-sink cabinets have hinged doors. When fitting an integrated bin for hinged doors, the self-contained units are fixed to the cabinet base. This means you can fit them where you like, navigating around pipework. Wesco Shorty Bin for Under-Sink Cabinets The Wesco Shorty 30L low level two-compartment recycler is designed to work with almost any under-sink cabinet with doors of an external width of at least 500mm. It measures just 345mm high and has a depth of 325mm, helping you make use of tight under-sink cupboards. This unit contains two 15 litre buckets with an integral plastic lid that covers the bins and can store liners. Its steel frame is easily fixed to the base of your cabinet, and full extension runners mean the bin can be opened and closed smoothly. Wesco Slim-Line Bin for Under-Sink Cabinets If you don’t need multiple compartments to separate waste, the Wesco Slim-Line 19L single compartment waste bin is ideal. With plenty of capacity for everyday waste, this model fits along the width of the door, so requires a depth of just 210mm and is suitable for cabinets with a minimum width of 450mm. The lid of this bin fixes to the side of your cabinets, covering the bin when it is closed. It is suitable for both right and left opening doors. The durable stainless steel body with inner plastic lining is designed to last and will serve you well for years to come. Blanco Pro Bin For Under-Sink Cabinets If sorting recycling is a concern for you, the Blanco Pro three-compartment 39L recycler is a great solution. With 350mm high and 400mm, this design can be suitable for under-sink installation and makes fantastic use of your 600mm under-sink cupboards. Again, the unit is easy to fit to the base of your cabinet and the three 13 litre plastic inner buckets give you plenty of waste storage options that can be cleaned and emptied easily. The Best Under-Sink Bins For Pan Drawers As pan drawers for sink base units become increasingly popular, so too do bins that can be installed into these cupboards. We have a range of products suitable for 600, 800, 900, 1000 and 1200mm wide drawers. Bins for pan drawers consist of several bin containers, each with lids, that sit inside a base tray. They offer numerous compartments that allow you to sort your recycling. Something like the Gollinucci Sistema 9XL pan drawer range that requires a minimum height of just 220mm is ideal for these shorter sink drawers. Modern kitchens are at their best when they are as functional as possible, which means making the most of all available space. Shop our range of bins suitable for under-sink cabinets to ensure this area of your kitchen doesn’t go to waste! Please ensure you always cross-reference the correct dimensions of your cabinet with the dimensions of the product (detailed on the product page) to ensure your chosen bin is suitable for the installation space.

Spring 2020: Best built-in kitchen bins for 600mm cabinets

Spring is always a good time to think about tidying and refreshing your kitchen and one way to create an instantly neater look is to fit an in-cupboard bin. Built-in bins can be retro-fitted into an existing kitchen, or planned in at the design stage, and our customers love how these products help them deal with recycling and waste, keeping it neatly organised and out of sight, while freeing up floor space. We are open and despatching as normal, so if you have some time at home to give fitting an in-cupboard bin some thought, or if your fitters are continuing to work on your kitchen and need to install your bin, we hope that this summary of our bins will help you to choose the right product. Where we say a product is in stock, it can be despatched within 1 or 2 days and our free next-day delivery means it won’t be long before you can fit your bin. Our in-cupboard bins are available for cabinet widths between 300 and 600mm (base units), and we also have bins to fit pan drawers, so there is a great choice of options but if you have a family or simply want to avoid taking the bins out too often, a 600mm cabinet is the ideal size to ensure you can install some of the largest capacity bins we have. Bins designed for 600mm cabinets with pull-out doors, where your door is attached to the front of the bin unit and the bins slide out when you pull the door, give the largest capacity because they take up more of the interior of the cabinet. There are some options for 600mm cabinets with hinged doors, but customers often find they can take a door off its hinges, leaving them with the door as a panel to attach to a pull-out bin unit. The previous fixing holes for hinges are normally avoided by the new bin fixings, and we strongly recommend a central handle or top groove on the door for balancing the weight in pulling out. You’re welcome to get in touch if you’d like to check your cabinet or door if you’re looking to convert from a hinged door unit. In-cupboard bins for 600mm cabinets with pull-out doors All of our products are top quality German or Italian products which should stand up to years of use in your kitchen, with steel soft-close runner systems and a choice of recycling configurations so you can separate your recyclables and waste to suit your needs. This is our range explained by brand:   VAUTH-SAGEL Vauth-Sagel is a leading German manufacturer with typically solid build quality, a sleek contemporary look and unique innovations including an ‘easy-fit’ soft-close runner system included in the price. If you are fitting your bin yourself, we suggest that Vauth-Sagel bins are one of the easiest brands to fit because they come complete with templates which you use against the cabinet sides and door to give all drilling and fixing positions. All fixings are included too, so all you need to supply is the cabinet, the door, a drill and screwdriver. VAUTH-SAGEL: full cabinet height An important point to check when choosing your Vauth-Sagel bin is the internal DEPTH that you have in your cabinet. This is because the taller models are available in a choice of two depths: 480mm depth is needed to fit the 85 litre models, and 515mm depth for the 91 litre models. Some customers remove a section of the cabinet back panel (as you might for access to a socket etc) to free up extra depth, but to keep your cabinet intact please check the model you need to fit your depth before ordering. Vauth-Sagel 85L and 91L bins use much of the full height of the cabinet with lids which are fixed to the cabinet sides, still giving you extra storage space for liners. papers etc. The ES-Pro 3-Compartment 85L Recycler has a generous 85 litre capacity made up of two 32 litre and one 21 litre inner buckets. This triple bin is 570mm high, meaning that it fits close to the top of the cabinet in most installations. It’s 476mm deep so will fit most standard cabinets. Available in a choice of Silver Grey or Lava Grey. If you have an extra deep cabinet you can make the most of this space with the ES-Pro 3-Compartment 91L Recycler which is 515mm deep, and has two 35 litre buckets and one 21 litre bucket. Available in a choice of Silver Grey or Lava Grey. VAUTH-SAGEL: Below drawer height There is a choice of Vauth-Sagel bins at 470mm high and 470mm deep, which have lids which pull out independently of the bin for improved access and to create an extra shelf in your cabinet. They can potentially be fitted below a drawer and are also ideal if you don’t have a 500mm deep cabinet or have pipework or a thicker back panel taking up depth. The ES-Pro 3-Compartment 53L Recycler has one 28L bucket and two of 12.5 L. The ES-Pro 2-Compartment 56L Recycler (two 28L buckets) and the ES-Pro 2-Compartment 60L Recycler (39L and 21L, useful if you create more recycling than waste or vice versa). All are available in both Silver Grey and we have just launched them in darker Lava Grey.   HAILO Hailo bins are another great choice if you’re fitting yourself at home, because they come with an excellent set of fitting instructions and all of the fixings you need. They are solidly built to last and again the range is divided into Euro Cargo models for the full height of the cabinet, and Cargo Synchro lower height models which can be fitted below drawers and potentially below sinks. Check your internal cabinet depth if you’re looking to fit the full-height Euro Cargo 90L In-cupboard recycler, as it is the deepest of all models for a 600mm cabinet, needing 515mm depth to fit. Two generous 38 litre heavy duty plastic inner buckets give you great capacity and there is also a 12L bin / caddy with its own lid and double handles, plus a handy 2.5L container which is useful for storing liners or as other kitchen storage. Available in light grey and dark grey finishes. The two Hailo Cargo Synchro models for a 600mm cabinet are both 424mm high and 405mm deep, making them a great choice for fitting below sinks or where you have restricted depth. An added feature is the sheet steel lid which has an independent sliding mechanism and a non-slip rubber mat on top, making it extra useful for storage of liners, cleaning materials etc. Choose the configuration of compartments to suit your recycling needs: the Cargo Synchro 56L recycler has two 28 litre bins, or the triple Cargo Synchro 54L recycler with one 28 Litre and two 13 Litre compartments (one with a lid - ideal for food waste).   GOLLINUCCI This innovative Italian range is again a great choice if you are fitting at home, supplied with all you need including very clear and simple instructions. The reason these bins are so popular with customers at home and with professional kitchen designers and fitters is that they offer great capacity of bin containers in a relatively compact depth, making fitting in most installations possible. Why do the Gollinucci bins have such great capacity? The answer is the fantastic design of the soft-close runners, made as slim and sleek as possible to create more width for the bin containers themselves. In the model for a 600mm unit, this means that two 40 litre bins can fit into a depth of only 458mm. Even if you don’t have restricted depth, the Gollinucci bins are worth fitting if you’d like to have individual lids on the bin containers included in the price, and you have the option of adding an overall cabinet-wide lid too. WESCO If you are a bit more used to measuring and marking out with accuracy in DIY projects, Wesco Pullboy Z soft-close bins can be fitted by customers at home or of course by a fitter or carpenter. They come with a set of runners and side panels called the Blum Tandembox and it is the combination of these two top German manufacturers coming together with the bin parts (Wesco) and the soft-close mechanism (Blum) which makes them such effective products but adds just a degree of complexity in fitting. Rest assured though that we do provide our customers at Binopolis with our own emailed extra fitting notes. And being real people we are here to help too! WESCO: Full cabinet height From Wesco we have two extra large 80+ litre bins. The Wesco Pullboy-Z 827640-11 has two huge 40L inner buckets, and the Pullboy-Z 827618-11 has two 32L buckets plus two 10L ones. To help imagine these capacities, it’s worth remembering that 30 litres is the capacity of many single standard kitchen pedal bins. As an example, the 32L Wesco bucket is 53cm tall and the 40L is 50cm tall (40cm wide), so at around half a metre high these are great capacity buckets. With two hidden in your cabinet, this represents enough capacity for a family and for a smaller household would mean fewer trips to the wheelie bins. It’s not surprising that these are two of our most popular in-cupboard bins. Another of our most popular bins, the Wesco Pullboy-Z 828614-11, also features two of the 32L buckets. This product is significant because it is 576mm high but instead of the standard 500mm depth, it is 450mm deep making it a great choice for customers with pipework or a reduced depth cabinet. WESCO: Below drawer height The choice of Wesco Pullboy Z bins to fit in a 600mm cabinet below a drawer includes the 827616-11 which is 471mm high and has 72L of capacity across 4 buckets. For even lower fitting heights, the 827608-11 is 400mm high, meaning you could fit its 4 buckets with total 60L capacity below shelves or potentially a sink installation. A great pull-out option for 600mm sink units is the 829603-11N which is just 335mm high and 400mm deep, so it should clear pipework in most sink installations: please check your dimensions in-situ.   NINKA Ninka bins are supplied with many of the premium kitchens on the market including Siematic and we are pleased to bring you them to fit at home, whether you have a new kitchen or not. We do suggest that the fitting is best for experienced DIY-ers or by your kitchen fitter or carpenter: accuracy of measurement and precision in putting the parts together is needed but again we do supply extra fitting notes which we’ve produced only for Binopolis customers. Once fitted the Ninka bins are worth a little time taken to install them: the Ninka containers are particularly durable and strong and one particular model, the 84 litre is one of our best sellers because it gives you two 42 litre compartments. The 4-compartment 80 litre model comes with two 32-Litre and two 8-Litre containers, and individual lids are available for the 8 litre ones for effective storage of food waste.   TECNOINOX Absolutely premium bins from a professional kitchen equipment manufacturer with the unique features of aluminium bin containers, and aluminium overall lids which move down to touch the bins when the cabinet door is closed. The Tecnoinox 74L Single Compartment model is THE LARGEST capacity single bin for any cabinet, essentially with an aluminium double-walled construction bin container giving the stability needed for a container of this size. There are two and three compartment models available too for 600mm cabinets, supplied complete with Blum Legrabox drawer systems into which the containers sit. Strong enough for commercial use, the Tecnoinox bins are also an ultimate addition to a home kitchen.   BLANCO Blanco bins are designed with low heights and compact depths, making them ideally suited to installation below sinks or drawers. They are brilliantly simple for installation yourself at home, complete with an easy to use template. For a 600mm cabinet you can choose from the 2-compartment Select Orga which comes with the added innovation of an upper organisation drawer which acts as the lid on top and is designed to fit either side of most U-bends. Or there are the Select 2 or 3 compartment models with sliding steel lids, plus the Compact model for small spaces.   NEED SOME ADVICE?

How to choose your built-in kitchen bin

Measuring your cabinet, plus solutions for non-standard cabinets, are covered in this first blog on the factors to consider when choosing your in-cupboard kitchen bin.  Our in-cupboard bins can be to retro-fitted into existing kitchen units or can be included as part of a new kitchen scheme.  At Binopolis we sell only premium quality brands such as Wesco, Hailo, Vauth-Sagel & Ninka as they combine great functionality with strong build quality and durability. Our range includes products that are suitable for cabinets with hinged or pull-out doors.  You just need to supply the cabinet and the door – we can provide everything else.  Choosing the right bin takes some working out and checking in advance. It’s worth taking a bit of time on this, and we’re always happy to help, so that what you order will fit! Please give us a call to discuss your needs or email your dimensions and we’ll suggest the right products to fit your cabinet. The starting point is obviously the cabinet size, so in this first blog on how to choose your in-cupboard bin, we’re looking at measurement and some of the more specific considerations for more unusual cabinets. Measuring your cabinet Measuring your cabinet starts with the door: check if it’s pull-out or on hinges and then measure the external width across the door. You then need to check three further internal dimensions: Internal width (from one side of the cabinet to the other).   The internal width is normally 30-40mm less than the external cabinet width, depending on what the carcass is made of. Our bins for pull-out doors are based on soft-close runners which need to fit to certain widths, usually 38mm less then the door width (based on 19mm carcass material). If the carcass is made from 16mm material, you can use spacers or a piece of hardboard etc very firmly battened to one or both sides, to create the optimum width. If you have a non-standard pull-out door cabinet, it is still possible to batten the sides with thicker material as ling as it’s very firmly fixed to keep the runners and bin level and to cope with years of movement and the weight of the potential contents. Bins for hinged doors are free-standing self contained units which don’t fit to the cabinet sides, so you have some leeway in which bins will fit your cabinet width. You can fill the cabinet width with the bin, or alternatively position the bin over to one side to leave space for other storage. 600mm hinged door cabinets can sometimes hold two narrow bins side by side. Internal height Our In-cupboard bins are available in a range of heights from 320mm to 590mm.  A typical kitchen unit is 680mm high and the larger capacity bins need to use the full height of a cabinet.  Bin units below 530mm in height will generally fit in a cabinet below a drawer and units below 370mm below cabinets with two drawers (but please check you measurements carefully as every unit is different). Internal depth Our in-cupboard  bins fit a range of cabinet depths from 330mm upwards (although our shortest depth bin is only 220mm deep – ideal for under sinks, fitting in-front of pipework). Most cabinets are around 500mm deep but can vary between 450mm and 600mm.  Please check the depth of your cupboard before ordering and ensure there is sufficient depth.   In tight situations it is often possible to remove the top section of the back panel of a cabinet, providing those few precious extra few millimetres to accommodate the bin mechanism. This is particularly useful to know if your 500mm deep cabinet has an internal depth nearer to 490mm after having a 10mm back panel fitted.     Other special situations Inline cabinets If you have an in-line cabinet, the door fits into a frame and the frame is narrower than the internal sides of the cabinet.  In-line cabinets pose some additional requirements for in-cupboard bins – for in-line cabinets with hinged doors you may need to build up the floor so the bin clears any lip; for in-line cabinets with pull-out doors you will almost certainly need to build out the sides internally, so that the internal sides and ‘exit’ from the cabinet are the same width: please call us if you need help on this. Sink cabinets For many customers fitting a bin below a sink unit is an obvious place to fit an in-cupboard bin.  However, pipework and U-bends can pose special challenges.  Choosing a low height unit will minimise any fitting limitations, but you may need a bin which is both short in depth and low in height. Because of this limited space, bins below sinks are great in compact kitchens or if you have a small household, but note that they are often not large enough to be the main receptacle for a family’s waste and recycling. The next steps in choosing the right in-cupboard kitchen bin Once you’ve established the internal space you can allocate for the bin in a new kitchen design, or have measured an existing cabinet you have for the bin, there are a few other considerations, including capacity, number of compartments and the brand or design to choose. We’ll cover those in another Blog soon, but for now please use our Quick Product Finder which will show you the selection of possible bins for your door width and type: find it by looking for the blue panel at the very start of the In-cupboard bins section. This will narrow down the potential choice for you out of our large range. As always please get in touch if we can help with any aspects of choosing your in-cupboard bin.

Vauth-Sagel in cupboard kitchen bins

Simple to fit, premium quality and great capacity: Vauth-Sagel integrated kitchen bins can revamp and refresh your kitchen, keeping the hub of the home neat and organised. Our Vauth-Sagel in-cupboard bins for pull-out doors are a sleek, chic way to turn a cabinet into a hidden recycling bin. An integrated bin can have a transformative effect on your kitchen, freeing up floor space and keeping the waste and recycling neatly out of sight. Getting the right mix of function and style in the hardest working room in the house is important and a built-in bin is a simple-to-fit addition.  Vauth-Sagel design and produce parts for Audi, Lamborghini, BMW and Volkswagen and also provide the accessories for top of the range SieMatic kitchens. When you see which other businesses they partner with, it makes perfect sense that Vauth-Sagel products are of premium quality and also full of innovative design features.  The Pull-out door bins feature: A unique system of 'easy-fit' soft-close side runners for the bins, which are strong steel panels quickly fitted using clear fitting instructions and drilling templates. Runners, frames and lids made in heavy gauge steel which is triple coated in a sleek platinum coloured finish: extra tough, corrosion resistant and stylish to look at. Vauth-Sagel manufacture both steel and plastic parts and this ensures that the inner buckets are strong and also a perfect seamless fit into their frame. Handles on the inner bins with angled corners which align closely together to form a frame around the bins and stop small pieces falling down  between the buckets. The handles are particularly strong when lifted up to take the weight of the bin contents. Liners can be fitted around the tops of the bins and held in place with the handles.  Minimal and sleek styling which compliments contemporary kitchen designs, but of course the bins can fit into a cabinet of any design and create a hidden recycling bin with smooth functionality in any cupboard. Choose the right bin for your cabinet Start by measuring the width on the outside of the door. We have products for 300, 400, 450, 500 or 600mm cabinet widths. The width of the products themselves is based on the external cabinet width minus 2 x the thickness of the carcass material, which is usually between 16-19mm as standard. This means that for example a bin for a 600mm cabinet will measure 562-568mm wide, and take up the total width of the inside of the cabinet. Then check the height you have available for a bin. If you have most of the height of the cabinet free, you can fit the XXLiner bins which are the tallest at 570mm high when installed. These tall bins have a steel lid which is fixed to the cabinet sides and if it is around 10cm lower than the worktop, you'll still have enough space to use it as a shelf for liners etc.  Alternatively if you have a drawer above the bin, or if it's below the sink, look at the Oko Liner range which are 470mm high. These Oko liner bins have a lid on sliding runners which can be pulled out independently over the bins to act as a useful shelf. The lid is shown in action in the video on the product page. Check the depth you have for the bin: the standard depths taken up by the Vauth-Sagel bins is 470mm (Oko Liner range) or 476mm (some of the XXLiner range), both a great fit for 500mm deep cabinets.  New to our Vauth-Sagel range are bins for deeper cabinets, needing 515mm depth. These are the XXLiner 91L bin for 600mm cabinets, and the two slimline XXLIner bins for 300mm and 400mm cabinets. How many compartments do you need? The final decision to make in choosing your bin is the configuration of inner 'buckets' that will be best for your needs. There are double and triple versions available, and you can also consider the idea of combining a double in-cupboard bin with a Joseph Joseph Stack 4 food waste caddy to create a triple recycling solution. Vauth-Sagel Integrated bins are designed to fit the maximum capacity into your cabinet space, spread across two or three inner bins, so that you can sort and store your recycling and waste quickly and easily. If we can help with any more information on these fantastic products, or you want to check if they will fit your cupboard, just call or email with your dimensions and we'll work it out and confirm the best product for you.

600mm built-in kitchen bin: Easter project

All of our in-cupboard bins will transform your cabinet into a top quality built-in bin, but if you have a 600mm cabinet you can fit a bin with the most generous capacity.  If you're getting ready for guests over Easter, are working on a new kitchen or are planning some kitchen DIY during the holiday, Easter is the perfect time to order and fit a built-in bin which will magically hide your waste and free up floor space. In-cupboard bins can be retro-fitted into an existing kitchen, or planned in at the design stage, and our customers love the transformative effect they can have in hiding away copious amounts of recycling and waste, leaving a streamlined and organised kitchen. Our In-cupboard bins are available for all standard cabinet widths, and the range divides between bins to attach to pull-out doors and those for fitting inside cabinets with hinged doors.  This blog is all about 600mm cabinets, and if you can devote this size of cabinet to housing your bin, you can install some of the largest capacity bins we have. But don't despair if you don't have a 600mm cabinet avaialble, as our 500mm bins are also a very copious size and we have clever designs for cabinets down to 300mm wide: if we can help with choosing a bin for any size cabinet, please get in touch. Read on for our suggestions for both Pull-out and Hinged door 600mm cabinets: PULL-OUT DOORS Eleven of our 600mm bins are for pull-out doors, including 7 Wesco Pullboy Z bins and 4 from Vauth-Sagel. All are top quality German-made products which should stand up to years of use in your kitchen, with steel soft-close runner systems and a choice of recycling configurations so you can separate your recyclables and waste to suit your needs. WESCO: Full cabinet height From Wesco we have two extra large 84 litre bins. The 827642-11 has two huge 42L inner buckets, and the 827618-11 has two 32L buckets plus two 10L ones. To help imagine these capacities, it’s worth remembering that 30 litres is the capacity of many single standard kitchen bins (usually the cylindrical type).  As an example, the 32L Wesco bucket is 53cm tall and the 42L is 50cm tall (45cm wide), so at around half a metre high these are great capacity buckets. With two hidden in your cabinet, this represents enough capacity for a family and for a smaller household would mean fewer trips to the wheelie bins. It’s not surprising that these are two of our most popular in-cupboard bins. The 827618-52 has an 80L capacity across 4 buckets and its key difference is that it’s black and white to match other Blum Intivo fittings, or simply to compliment your kitchen styling. Another of our most popular bins, the Wesco 828614-11, also features two of the 32L buckets. This product is significant because it is 576mm high, as the largest bins, but instead of the standard 500mm depth, it is 450mm deep making it a great choice for customers with pipework or a reduced depth cabinet. Bins with a height of 576mm take up much of the height of a standard cabinet, but the lids on both Wesco and Vauth-Sagel bins are strong enough to use as a shelf for liners, papers etc so the space at the top of your cabinet is not wasted. The bins can also be fitted high up in the cabinet (as long as the weight on the door is balanced), for easy access from the worktop. WESCO: Below drawer height The choice of bins to fit in a 600mm cabinet below a drawer includes the 827616-11 which is 471mm high and has 72L of capacity across 4 buckets. For even lower fitting heights, the 827608-11 is 400mm high, meaning you could fit its 60L capacity below shelves. A great pull-out option for 600mm sink units is the 832604-85 which is just 330mm high and also 450mm deep, so it should clear pipework in most sink installations. VAUTH-SAGEL: Full cabinet height Vauth-Sagel is another German manufacturer with typical solid build quality. Their Oko Liner bins have a sleek contemporary look and unique innovations including an ‘easy-fit’ soft-close runner system with steel lids which can be used as a shelf. In this way one Vauth-Sagel Oko Liner creates both a bin and a storage shelf in your cupboard.  Of the 5 Vauth-Sagel bins for 600mm cabinets, the XX liner 85L X600 is our largest capacity in-cupboard bin, with a fantastic 85 litres made up of two 32 litre and one 21 litre inner buckets. This triple bin is 570mm high, meaning that it fits close to the top of the cabinet in most installations, making the most of your cabinet space.  New to our range is the XXliner 91L X600, which needs a minimum of 515mm internal cabinet depth to fit. This increased size gives you two 35L inner buckets plus one 21L, making this our largest capacity for a 600mm wide cabinet. VAUTH-SAGEL: Below drawer height The other 3 Vauth-Sagel bins for 600mm cabinets are all 470mm high and 470mm deep, so they can be fitted below a drawer and are also ideal if you don’t have a 500mm deep cabinet or have pipework or a thicker back panel taking up depth. The K 600-3 Maxi has one 28L bucket and two of 12.5 L. The K 600 Maxi (two 28L buckets) and the K 600 Maxi-2 (39L and 21L, useful if you create more recycling than waste or vice versa) complete the choice of 600mm pull-out cabinet bins. These lower height bins have the benefit of a retractable lid making access easier.  HINGED DOORS It's worth remembering that the bins for Hinged doors can be fitted in wider cabinets if you want to place a bin on one side and a water filter, heater or more storage on the other side.   All of our Wesco bins for hinged doors will fit into the width of a 600mm cabinet, but check the depth and height of each product particularly if you have pipework to work around. A good example of this is the Wesco Shorty 757411-85 which will fit a 500mm cabinet, but in a 600mm cabinet will leave useful space to one side for wirework shelves or simply for standing washing and cleaning materials.  For a 600mm hinged door cabinet made from standard 16-19mm material, you can also make great use of the internal width for two large single bins, such as the Big Boy 40L Waste bin 755640-85, which would give you 80L of generous capacity.

Easy to retrofit or for incorporating into a new kitchen design to ensure it is as efficient and ergonomic as possible, these new bins have been designed for use within your existing drawer using your own cabinet door or drawer front for a sleek and streamlined kitchen.  This new range has been created with pan drawers in mind and also provides great solutions for using the space below sink installations: the systems stand 430mm above the internal drawer base to the top of the steel lid, so could be fitted below a sink if you have the height available.

These new bins add to our already wide range of built-in in-cupboard bins.

The bin system comes with a full width steel lid which fits to the cabinet sides, covering the bins when the drawer is closed. 600mm drawers Slightly larger, the Hailo Triple XL Recycling System designed for use with 600mm-wide drawer units, boasts a 56-litre capacity. It has one 30-litre and two 13-litre bins, which are perfect for sorting and storing recycling. It also has a full-width lid which is strong enough to use as a handy shelf.  800mm drawers The biggest model within the new range is the Hailo Triple XL Recycling System for 800mm-wide drawers, which has a generous 79-litre capacity, making it perfect for large households. As well as two 30-litre bins, it also features a 19-litre container for added flexibility.

The best built-in kitchen bins and recyclers for kitchen cupboards

Integrated bins revamp your kitchen, keeping the hub of the home sleek and organised. House Beautiful, the leading homes and interiors magazine, is packed with ideas to update and refresh your kitchen in its Kitchen Revamps September supplement.  We're delighted that our Vauth-Sagel in-cupboard bin for pull-out doors is featured as a sleek, chic way to turn a cabinet into a hidden recycling bin. An integrated bin can have a transformative effect on your kitchen, freeing up floor space and keeping the waste and recycling neatly out of sight. Getting the right mix of function and style in the hardest working room in the house is important and a built-in bin is a simple-to-fit addition.  If Audi, Lamborghini, BMW and Volkswagen made bins, this is what they'd be like! Not such a strange thought, as Vauth-Sagel design and produce parts for all of these companies together with accessories for top of the range SieMatic kitchens.  When you see which other businesses they partner with, it makes perfect sense that Vauth-Sagel products are of premium quality and also full of innovative design features. The Pull-out door bins feature: 1. A unique system of 'easy-fit' soft-close side runners for the bins, which are strong steel panels quickly fitted using clear guide templates and simple tool-free fixings. 2. The runners, frames and lids are triple coated in a sleek platinum coloured finish which is extra tough and stylish to look at. Vauth-Sagel manufacture both steel and plastic parts and this ensures that the inner buckets are strong and also a perfect seamless fit into their frame. 3. The handles on the inner bins have angled corners which align closely together to form a frame around the bins and stop small pieces falling down between the buckets. The handles are particlularly strong when lifted up to take the weight of the bin contents. Liners can be fitted around the tops of the bins and held in place with the handles.  4. the styling is minimal and sleek which compliments contemporary kitchen designs, but of course the bins can fit into a cabinet of any design and create a hidden recycling bin with smooth functionality in any cupboard. Choose the right bin for your cabinet Start by measuring the width on the outside of the door. We have products for 400, 450, 500 or 600mm cabinet widths. The width of the products themselves is based on the external cabinet width minus 2 x the thickness of the carcass material, which is usually between 16-19mm as standard. This means that for example a bin for a 600mm cabinet will measure 562-568mm wide, and take up the total width of the inside of the cabinet. Then check the height you have available for a bin. If you have most of the height of the cabinet free, you can fit the XXLiner bins which are the tallest at 570mm high when installed. These tall bins have a steel lid which is fixed to the cabinet sides and if it is around 10cm lower than the worktop, you'll still have enough space to use it as a shelf for liners etc. Alternatively if you have a drawer above the bin, or if it's below the sink, look at the Oko Liner range which are 470mm high. These Oko liner bins have a lid on sliding runners which can be pulled out independently over the bins to act as a useful shelf: see the image below, and the lid is shown in action in the video on the product page. />Check the depth you have for the bin: the standard depths taken up by the Vauth-Sagel bins is 470mm (Oko Liner range) or 476mm (XXLiner range), both a great fit for UK standard 500mm deep cabinets. Some of the Vauth-Sagel bins are 515mm deep so please check the depth of your cupboard carefully before ordering. The final decision to make in choosing your bin is the configuration of inner 'buckets' that will be best for your needs. There are double and triple versions available, and you can also consider the idea of combining a double in-cupboard bin with a food waste caddy to create a triple recycling solution. Vauth-Sagel Integrated bins bring premium quality and unique design to our In-cupboard bins range at Binopolis. If we can help with any more information on these fantastic products, or you want to check if they will fit your cupboard, just call or email with your dimensions and we'll work it out and confirm the best product for you.

Built-in In-cupboard Bins for kitchen cabinets with 400mm wide doors

A built-in bin keeps the hub of the home looking sleek and minimal. Neatly concealed within a kitchen cabinet, an integrated bin keeps your recycling and waste neatly sorted and out of sight.  Our extensive collection of in-cupboard bins from Wesco‬ and Vauth-Sagel are some of the strongest and most durable available and they are perfect for fitting into your existing kitchen furniture or into a new kitchen scheme.  Our range includes In-cupboard bins for all standard cabinet widths, divided between bins to attach to pull-out doors and those for fitting inside cabinets with hinged doors. So if you're planning your new kitchen, or need a new recycling and waste solution to freshen up and tidy your kitchen, we should have an integrated bin to suit you. Please get in touch for help with choosing a bin for any size cabinet, but this blog is all about 400mm cabinets: read on for our suggestions for both Pull-out and Hinged doors PULL-OUT DOORS Six of our 400mm bins are for pull-out doors. All are top quality German-made products which should stand up to years of use in your kitchen, with steel runner mechanisms and a choice of recycling configurations so you can separate your recyclables and waste to suit your needs. WESCO: FULL CABINET HEIGHT It’s not surprising that the Wesco Bio Double 64L 789611-85 is one of our best-selling in-cupboard bins: it’s the largest capacity bin we sell for a 400mm pull-out door and fits two large 32L inner buckets into the full height of the cabinet, making the best possible use of the space. It runs on top quality, smooth running ball-bearing runners built to handle up to 30KG of weight. This excellent customer review on our Feefo feedback site sums it up: "This bin assembly is a perfect fit for a Howdens 400mm base unit and glides in and out smoothly. The two containers are of a generous size (only slightly less than a normal swing bin) and easy to remove for emptying and cleaning. The unit appears to be robust and well made enough to stand up to prolonged use - but clearly only time will tell on this point. There's a very handy shelf included over the top of the bins where bin bags can be stored - and which should also help to contain any nasty bin-smells! Fitting was quick and easy once I'd figured out what went where, although getting the door attached and adjusted exactly right does take care and attention. Very practical and completely hidden from view until it's needed, all in all we're very pleased with this neat, fully integrated solution to the kitchen waste-bin problem." The soft-close mechanisms in the Wesco Pullboy Z bins take over the operation of the cabinet door and give you smooth and whisper-quiet closing. The 827418-11 in grey has one large 32L inner bucket and one of 10L which is perfect for food waste, and the 827418-52 is the same design in black and white to match other Blum Intivo fittings, or simply to compliment your kitchen styling. To help imagine these capacities, it’s worth remembering that 30 litres is the capacity of many single standard kitchen bins (usually the cylindrical type). As an example, the 32L Wesco bucket is 53cm tall (30cm wide), so at around half a metre high these are great capacity buckets.  Bins with a height of 576mm take up much of the height of a standard cabinet, but the lids on both Wesco and Vauth-Sagel bins are strong enough to use as a shelf for liners, papers etc so the space at the top of your cabinet is not wasted. The bins can also be fitted high up in the cabinet (as long as the weight on the door is balanced), for easy access from the worktop. WESCO: BELOW DRAWER HEIGHT The choice of bins to fit in a 400mm cabinet below the drawer line includes the 827416-11 is 471mm high and has 36L of capacity across 26L and 10L buckets. For even lower fitting heights, the 827408-11 is 400mm high, meaning you could fit its 30L capacity below shelves.  VAUTH-SAGEL The Vauth-Sagel Oko Liner 20L 503.04.503 for a 400mm cabinet is unique in having both low height and depth, making it perfect for difficult installations below or in front of pipework, columns etc. At 370mm high and 470mm deep, it can be fitted below a drawer and is also ideal if you have a thicker back panel taking up depth. Like the other lower height Vauth-Sagel bins it has the benefit of a retractable steel lid which acts as a pull-out shelf. HINGED DOORS It's worth remembering that Wesco bins for Hinged doors are designed as self-contained ‘frame’ units, ready to simply screw into the cabinet base. This means they can be positioned flexibly and fitted in wider cabinets if you want to place a bin on one side and a water filter, heater or more storage on the other side.   Some of the most useful and effective Wesco bins for hinged doors will fit into the width of a 400mm cabinet, but check the depth and height of each product particularly if you have pipework to work around.  Two of our most popular bins for Hinged doors are the Wesco Big Bio Double bins which, as their name suggests, are the largest capacity ‘frame’ bins for 400mm cabinets. They are the 52L 757811-85, which has two generous 26L inner buckets and a height of 465mm, which should fit below most drawers. The 64L 757812-85 is a similar design but is 565mm high, meaning it fits two 32L inner buckets into the majority of the cabinet height. Triple compartment bins are so useful if you need to separate your recycling and waste into three sections: all can be neatly sorted and hidden away in the cabinet. The Trio Master 787821-85 has one 16L and two 8L buckets, and with a height of 320mm this is a very popular bin for fitting triple recycling separation into a compact cabinet space. The larger capacity Bio Trio 757721-85 bin takes up 385mm of height and has one 20L and two 10L buckets. One happy customer reports “I purchased the largest unit I could fit in the cupboard and am very pleased with it as a smaller one would not have worked so well with a family of 5.  The clutter is now hide-able but when we are cooking/cleaning we leave it open to fire everything in as we go. The floor area next to the back door used to build up with an overflowing caddy ready for the trip in the rain to the compost or out to the recycling bins so this is a brilliant solution.  Everyone I have shown is impressed.” Completing the range of Wesco bins for Hinged doors are two designs each with useful features: The Double Master 32L 787811-85 is 320mm high, meaning it can fit below shelving or drawers. As with all Wesco products its quality shines through: our customer’s feedback on Feefo describes it as a “Good, solid product, well engineered”.  The Stainless Steel inner buckets on the 32L 787814-42 Master make it particularly good for commercial kitchens where hygiene regulations can often stipulate stainless steel finishes, but its durability and craftsmanship make it a great choice for homes too.

Built-in In-cupboard Kitchen Bins for cabinets with 600mm wide doors

Turn your cabinet into a large, top quality built-in bin which will magically hide your waste and free up floor space. Built-in bins can be retro-fitted into an existing kitchen, or planned in at the design stage, and our customers love the transformative effect they can have in hiding away copious amounts of recycling and waste, leaving a streamlined and organised kitchen. Our In-cupboard bins are available for all standard cabinet widths, and the range divides between bins to attach to pull-out doors and those for fitting inside cabinets with hinged doors. So if you're planning your new kitchen, or need a new recycling and waste solution to freshen up and tidy your kitchen for Spring, we should have an integrated bin to suit you. Please get in touch for help with choosing a bin for any size cabinet, but this blog is all about 600mm cabinets, as many customers are now devoting this size of cabinet to housing their bin, so they can install some of the largest capacity bins we have. Read on for our suggestions for both Pull-out and Hinged door 600mm cabinets: PULL-OUT DOORS Eleven of our 600mm bins are for pull-out doors, including 7 Wesco Pullboy Z bins and 4 from Vauth-Sagel. All are top quality German-made products which should stand up to years of use in your kitchen, with steel soft-close runner systems and a choice of recycling configurations so you can separate your recyclables and waste to suit your needs. WESCO: Full cabinet height From Wesco we have two extra large 84 litre bins. The 827642-11 has two huge 42L inner buckets, and the 827618-11 has two 32L buckets plus two 10L ones. To help imagine these capacities, it’s worth remembering that 30 litres is the capacity of many single standard kitchen bins (usually the cylindrical type).  As an example, the 32L Wesco bucket is 53cm tall and the 42L is 50cm tall (45cm wide), so at around half a metre high these are great capacity buckets. With two hidden in your cabinet, this represents enough capacity for a family and for a smaller household would mean fewer trips to the wheelie bins. It’s not surprising that these are two of our most popular in-cupboard bins. The 827618-52 has an 80L capacity across 4 buckets and its key difference is that it’s black and white to match other Blum Intivo fittings, or simply to compliment your kitchen styling. Another of our most popular bins, the Wesco 828614-11, also features two of the 32L buckets. This product is significant because it is 576mm high, as the largest bins, but instead of the standard 500mm depth, it is 450mm deep making it a great choice for customers with pipework or a reduced depth cabinet. Bins with a height of 576mm take up much of the height of a standard cabinet, but the lids on both Wesco and Vauth-Sagel bins are strong enough to use as a shelf for liners, papers etc so the space at the top of your cabinet is not wasted. The bins can also be fitted high up in the cabinet (as long as the weight on the door is balanced), for easy access from the worktop. WESCO: Below drawer height The choice of bins to fit in a 600mm cabinet below a drawer includes the 827616-11 which is 471mm high and has 72L of capacity across 4 buckets. For even lower fitting heights, the 827608-11 is 400mm high, meaning you could fit its 60L capacity below shelves. A great pull-out option for 600mm sink units is the 832604-85 which is just 330mm high and also 450mm deep, so it should clear pipework in most sink installations. VAUTH-SAGEL: Full cabinet height Vauth-Sagel is another German manufacturer with typical solid build quality. Their Oko Liner bins have a sleek contemporary look and unique innovations including an ‘easy-fit’ soft-close runner system with steel lids which can be used as a shelf. In this way one Vauth-Sagel Oko Liner creates both a bin and a storage shelf in your cupboard.  Of the 4 Vauth-Sagel bins for 600mm cabinets, the XX liner X600 is our largest capacity in-cupboard bin, with a fantastic 85 litres made up of two 32 litre and one 21 litre inner buckets. This triple bin is 570mm high, meaning that it fits close to the top of the cabinet in most installations, making the most of your cabinet space.  VAUTH-SAGEL: Below drawer height The other 3 Vauth-Sagel bins for 600mm cabinets are all 470mm high and 470mm deep, so they can be fitted below a drawer and are also ideal if you don’t have a 500mm deep cabinet or have pipework or a thicker back panel taking up depth. The K 600-3 Maxi has one 28L bucket and two of 12.5 L. The K 600 Maxi (two 28L buckets) and the K 600 Maxi-2 (39L and 21L, useful if you create more recycling than waste or vice versa) complete the choice of 600mm pull-out cabinet bins. These lower height bins have the benefit of a retractable lid making access easier.  HINGED DOORS It's worth remembering that the bins for Hinged doors can be fitted in wider cabinets if you want to place a bin on one side and a water filter, heater or more storage on the other side.   All of our Wesco bins for hinged doors will fit into the width of a 600mm cabinet, but check the depth and height of each product particularly if you have pipework to work around. A good example of this is the Wesco Shorty 757411-85 which will fit a 500mm cabinet, but in a 600mm cabinet will leave useful space to one side for wirework shelves or simply for standing washing and cleaning materials.  For a 600mm hinged door cabinet made from standard 16-19mm material, you can also make great use of the internal width for two large single bins, such as the Big Boy 40L Waste bin 755640-85, which would give you 80L of generous capacity. NEED SOME ADVICE? WE'RE HERE TO HELP As you can tell from our very detailed blog, we are big fans of the these products. We help customers every day with choosing the right In-cupboard bin for their cabinet size and for their recycling needs .

Christmas Project: fit an in-cupboard kitchen recycling bin

Now's the time to order one of our top quality bins to be ready for guests or if you're planning to do some home improvement over the festive season (last delivery of In-cupboard products is December 23rd, resuming on January 6th!).  With recycling options, smooth soft close, extra strong build quality and a wide range to cover standard cabinet sizes, our Wesco and Vauth-Sagel bins can be added to your new build or retrofitted into existing cabinets. They have a transformative effect in the kitchen, turning a cabinet into a hidden bin to free up floor space and hide your waste. If you think you haven’t got enough cupboard space to devote to a bin, even a narrow 300mm cabinet can be converted into a recycling bin, as this kitchen shows. If you can devote a cabinet like this to a bin you can have up to 42 litres of recycling capacity ingeniously hidden inside it. Hidden bins help to keep the streamlined look of your kitchen, and also help to keep pets out of the bin. I think the cat here is trying to work out where the bin is! Another clever space saving option is to use the area under your sink. The Wesco Shorty Low Level In-cupboard recycler is designed specifically to fit below most sink plumbing, with a height of only 345mm. If you use it in a 500 or 600mm cabinet, you’ll still have space to the side for cleaning materials.  If you're in the process of planning or fitting a new kitchen, you can give some thought to the capacity of bin you will need and allocate a cabinet to it. If you or your kitchen fitter would like to see technical drawings or fitting instructions for any in-cupboard kitchen bin, just give us a call and we can email them to you. These often help with the planning and design stages. Integrated in-cupboard bins are just as successful when retrofitted into an existing kitchen. Although the bins are designed with standard cabinet sizes in mind, it's often possible to fit a free-standing bin into a non-standard cupboard. Check the internal depth and height of the cabinet and avoid plumbing or other obstructions. The bin dimensions given on the product pages are all for the dimensions of the bin itself when fitted into the cupboard- the volume it takes up - so you can see accurately if it will fit your cupboard space. When you're choosing an in-cupboard bin, start by measuring the external width of the cabinet, then refer to our Buying Guide to In-cupboard bins for a list of products for Pull out or Hinged doors. The simplest products have a metal frame which screws to the base of the cabinet and gives some tolerance on where to position the frame within the cupboard width. These products are generally for hinged doors. For pull-out doors, we have 3 products which combine frames screwed to the cabinet base and door, plus the large capacity 64 litre Wesco 789611-85 which has side runners to attach to the inside of a 400mm cabinet, plus door fixing. Other products for pull-out doors are based on soft-close 'drawer' runner systems to give you extra smooth operation and up to 30Kg load bearing performance. This is important when you consider the weight of full bins, especially at larger capacity, being moved in and out many times a day for years. Cheaper products don't often survive this workload, which is why we don't sell them! We have two ranges of In-cupboard bins based on soft-close runners, both designed to fit exactly into standard cupboard widths, assuming that they're built using either 16mm or 19mm wide MDF or wood: spacers are provided to give some tolerance. Vauth-Sagel Oeko Liner bins come as a complete kit including a unique design of side panels housing self and soft close runners. These bins are 470mm deep which means there is no problem fitting them in a standard 500mm deep cabinet, and you may be abkle to fit in front of pipework or cabling. For more details on these excellent new products, see our blog all about the company and products. Our other pull-out door bins are the Wesco Pullboy Z and 300AZ ranges. These are based on a Blum Tandembox drawer unit which needs to be ordered with the bin: the checkout system will add the correct one for you and both bin and Tandembox will be delivered together. The Tandembox takes over the operation of the opening and closing of the cabinet, using Blum's Blumotion soft-close mechanism for smooth and silent running. The bins pull out on runners which are fixed to the sides of the cabinet casing, and the bin framework attaches to the door. These products do take a little extra skill in fitting, mainly to ensure that the side runners are exactly level as the starting point for the smooth and balanced operation of the bin.   So if you're planning to install an in-cupboard bin to help keep the kitchen tidy and deal with the extra recycling and waste that Christmas brings, please have a look at the range or start with our Buying Guide to In-cupboard bins which provides the key information you need. As always at Binopolis just give us a call if you need any product or fitting advice and ideas. If you have cupboard dimensions and you'd like some help with choosing the right bin to fit, just email or call us and we'll be happy to help. We can help ensure that the right bin is delivered to you first time. Please order by 4pm on 22nd December to make sure your bin is delivered ready to install before Christmas or during the holiday.

Looking for bin for a 600mm wide kitchen cabinet?

Read our guide to your in-cupboard bin options: top quality, large capacity bins to magically hide your waste and free up floor space. They can be retro-fitted into an existing kitchen, or planned in at the design stage, but all have the almost magical effect of turning a cabinet into hidden bin, helping to keep your kitchen well organised. Our In-cupboard bins are available for all standard cabinet widths, and the range divides between bins to attach to pull-out doors and those for fitting inside cabinets with hinged doors. If you can devote a 600mm pull-out cabinet to housing your bin, you can install some of the largest capacity bins we have. If you have a hinged door on your 600mm cabinet, you could consider converting the door to a pull-out, or alternatively you can fix one or two bins inside your cabinet, perhaps in combination with other storage. Read on for our suggestions for both types of 600mm cabinet! PULL-OUT DOORS Eleven of our 600mm bins are for pull-out doors, including 7 Wesco Pullboy Z bins and 4 from Vauth-Sagel. All are top quality German-made products which should stand up to years of use in your kitchen, with steel soft-close runner systems and a choice of recycling configurations so you can separate your recyclables and waste to suit your needs. Wesco From Wesco we have the largest capacity in-cupboard bins we sell, both at 84 litres. The 827642-11 has two huge 42L inner buckets, and the 827618-11 has two 32L buckets plus two 10L ones. To help imagine these capacities, it’s worth remembering that 30 litres is the capacity of many single standard kitchen bins (usually the cylindrical type).  As an example, the 32L Wesco bucket is 53cm tall and the 42L is 50cm tall (45cm wide), so at around half a metre high these are great capacity buckets.

In this way one Vauth-Sagel Oeko Liner creates  both a bin and a storage shelf in your cupboard.  Of the 4 Vauth-Sagel bins for 600mm cabinets, the XX liner X600 is our largest capacity in-cupboard bin, with a fantastic 85 litres made up of two 32 litre and one 21 litre inner buckets.

NEW premium range of In-cupboard kitchen recycling bins from Vauth-Sagel

Vauth-Sagel Integrated bins bring premium quality and unique design to our In-cupboard bins range at Binopolis. Why is it the only other In-cupboard range we want to bring you, alongside our already popular range of fantastic Wesco products? The production quality of Vauth-Sagel equals Wesco and once again the manufacturing expertise of this German family business shines through in its products. The Steel runners, frames and lids are triple coated in a sleek platinum coloured finish which is extra tough and stylish to look at. Vauth-Sagel manufacture both steel and plastic parts and this ensures that the inner buckets are strong and also a perfect seamless fit into their frame. If Audi, Lamborghini, BMW and Volkswagen made bins, is this what they'd be like? Not such a strange thought, as Vauth-Sagel design and produce parts for all of these companies together with a huge range of cabinet drawers and baskets for SieMatic kitchens.  When you see which other businesses they partner with, it makes perfect sense that their own products are of premium quality and also full of innovative design features. These include: 1. A unique system of 'easy-fit' soft-close side runners for the bins, which are strong steel panels quickly fitted using clear guide templates and simple tool-free fixings. 2. A lid set on independent runners, so that it can be pulled out as a seperate shelf strong enough for cleaning materials, liners, papers etc. It's then pushed back in to cover the bins when the cabinet is closed. It's really an extra cabinet feature included in the price of the bin. 3. The handles on the inner bins have angled corners which align closely together to form a frame around the bins and stop small pieces falling down between the buckets. The handles are particlularly strong when lifted up to take the weight of the bin contents. Liners can be fitted around the tops of the bins and held in place with the handles.  4. the styling is minimal and sleek which compliments contemporary kitchen designs, but of course the bins can fit into a cabinet of any design and create a hidden recycling bin with smooth functionality in any cupboard. We have the core range of 2 and 3 compartment VS Envi Pro an VS Envi Pro XX bins for cabinets with pull-out doors, from 400mm to 600mm wide. The standard depth taken up by the bins is 470mm, a great fit for UK standard 500mm deep cabinets.  Please get in touch if we can help with any more information on these fantastic products, or you want to check if they will fit your cupboard, just call or email with your dimensions and we'll work it out and confirm the best product for you. Vauth-Sagel in-cupboard bins are an investment in premium quality which will work beautifully for you for many years to come.

Great built-in kitchen bins for 300mm wide cabinets

300mm wide cabinet? Choose from 12 In-cupboard bins to free up floor space and hide away your waste: make the most of all your cupboard space.  Our In-cupboard bins are available for all standard cabinet widths, but our 300mm range is very popular with customers in city apartments to country cottages, and all compact kitchens in between!  Five of the 300mm bins are for pull-out doors, including the Bio Double 36L which gives you great capacity in a small space, and the extra durable Stainless Steel recycler, both based on self-contained frame units which are simply fixed to the base of the cabinet and then to the door.   The other Pull-out options are two 300AZ Recyclers, unique in using a Blum soft-close drawer unit in the base of the cabinet with two copious buckets standing on a platform. These are available in 36L and a great 42L option which cleverly makes use of extra height in the cabinet to gain extra capacity. There is also a Pullboy Z pull-out bin with full soft-close functionality, which will match other soft-close units and give you 20L of capacity for smaller households. The other bins for 300mm cabinets are all for use with hinged doors, based on a frame unit which is very simple to screw into the cabinet base. These recycling bins are mostly 30L in capacity, but the Big Bio Double is 36L due to its extra height at 465mm - you have a 26L and a 10L bucket which is great for food waste recycling.  The 300mm cabinet range also includes two single-bucket bins, which many of our customers use in conjunction with either a free-standing bin or a compost pail, if they need to seperate their recycling and rubbish. The 32L Bio Single bin is 570mm high and 330mm deep, so it can fit in front of pipework, sockets etc. The Big Boy Waste bin is 40L which is achieved by using a depth of 450mm which will fit most standard cabinets. It's worth remembering that the bins for Hinged doors can also be fitted in wider cabinets if you want to place a bin on one side and a water filter or more storage on the other side. As you can tell we're used to looking into the precise measurements of these bins, and this reflects the fact that we help customers every day with choosing the right In-cupboard bin for their cabinet. This really does ensure that the right bin is supplied the first time. Because these products last many years, it's worth taking a bit of time to compare the sizes and options for your cabinet before ordering. Just email or call us with your dimensions and we'll be happy to suggest the right bins to fit. Here's an example of one recent customer email, and our response, to show the kind of friendly and knowledgeable service you can expect: Dear Binopolis I need to replace my tatty old under counter tandem bin set.  I am looking at either: Wesco in-cupboard for 300mm Door: Double Boy 30L Recycler 755611-11 at £65 or Wesco in-cupboard for 300mm Door: Double Boy Deluxe 30L Recycler 755601-85 at £85. I can’t see what is the difference between these two products and what is better about the deluxe version.  What do I get for an extra £20? Can you advise please? Thank you. Emma   Our reply is typical of how we like to help customers and how we know our products in detail: Hi Emma Fair question! The differences are: 1. the Double Boy Deluxe has different side runners, with ball-bearings within a double casing of steel. These are the runners used on the larger bins of this type and give a smooth action, even if there is a considerable weight in the bins. The Deluxe is also larger in overall dimensions, taller at 410mm and deeper at 460mm (although the width is similar). The frame holding the buckets is a little stronger and deeper too. The capacity of the buckets is the same at 30L, although the buckets are a taller shape. 2. The Double Boy is lower in height and is great for under sinks at 388mm high and 450mm deep. It is still strongly built as all Wesco products are, but is made for a slightly lower price point by using simpler ‘slide’ runners without ball bearings. These still run perfectly smoothly (especially as the buckets and contents are not likely to be heavy), but they are really a one-piece component rather than a two-piece hence the cost difference. I hope these explanations help: it’s very helpful to be asked as I think it would be good to explain the comparison more on the product pages, so thanks for raising the question! If you’d like to order either bin please do so online or give us a call. The Deluxe is back in stock on Friday so may be worth a short wait, but do please order it as this would ensure that one of the new stock would be reserved for you for quick despatch. The standard Double Boy is in stock and you could have it tomorrow if ordered before 4pm. Many thanks Jane We can help over the phone too, looking at options at the same time on the site and discussing the features and sizes.  So if you want to streamline the look of your kitchen by creating a hidden bin, look at the In-cupboard bins section and just ask if you need any advice. Even a small cabinet can conceal a really good sized bin and make a big difference in how you use your kitchen space.

The Wesco Pullboy Z Range of In-Cupboard Kitchen Bins

If you thought Integrated bins only came with new fitted kitchens, think again: you can retro-fit one of our In-Cupboard kitchen recycling bins into your existing cabinets! The Pullboy Z range of integrated bins from Wesco is a premium quality, beautifully designed solution for kitchen cupboards which have pull-out doors - the drawer unit fixes to the back of the door and when you pull open the door the bins slide out for use and then hide away when you push the door to.  The range of Pullboy Z units we offer are available to fit a range of door sizes:  300mm; 400mm; 450mm; 500mm  and 600mm wide and in a range of sizes – from 20 Litres up to 84 Litres capacity with 2,3 or 4 compartments depending on the model.  The critical choice is to choose a unit that fits your cupboard door – the width in the description refers to the outer width of the door and then an allowance of 16-19mm  is made for the thickness of the carcass on each side in supplying the actual unit.  The other key measurement is the height which can vary between 400mm and 576mm depending on the door width and capacity chosen.  The Pullboy Z range is designed to work with a Blum Tandembox Drawer unit.  This fixes to either side of the kitchen cabinet and provides the mechanism for the waste unit to glide in and out of the cupboard.  All the Pullboy Z units we sell come supplied with this Blum unit and the cost is built-in to our price – although if for some reason you do not need it (perhaps if you are replacing an existing unit) then we can adjust the price for you to exclude it.  Just call us on 023 8097 0230 before you order and we will make the necessary adjustment to your order.  Fitting is relatively easy for any reasonably competent DIY enthusiast - the key requirement being to get the Blum Tandembox at the same height and level on both sides.  Full fitting instructions are provided and we are happy to supply a copy of these in advance if you need them.  The Pullboy Z unit itself is made of powder coated steel in a quality German-engineered frame and when used with the Blum Tandembox provides a ‘soft-close’ facility meaning no banging drawers!  The unit comes with a steel lid which covers up any waste and keeps it discreetly hidden.  If you have any extra height in your kitchen unit you can store things like liners or newspapers on top of the lid.  The bins themselves are in alugrey plastic with plastic carry handles so removing them is easy – larger bins come with double handles for extra strength.  To see our full range of Pullboy-Z bins click here. For other options or to see the range in more detail take a look at our Buying Guide To In-Cupboard Bins.  In addition to the Pullboy-Z range we sell in-cupboard bins to fit kitchen units with hinged doors, and also other options for units with pull-doors.

Choose From Our Great Range of In-cupboard Kitchen Bins

At Binopolis we carry a great range of in-cupboard kitchen bins designed to hide away waste and rubbish in built-in kitchens.  Most in-cupboard bins in our range have recycling features with 2, 3 or 4 compartments. These bins are designed for use in either cupboards with hinged doors or for use in cupboards with pull-out doors.  For cupboards with hinged doors the units are built in a frame which is fixed to the floor of the unit and then after opening the door you can just pull out the bin on a set of runners.  One of our bins features and automatic opening feature (The Wesco  Automatic Master-Boy 30L Recycler).  If you space is really tight under the sink then take a look at the Wesco Shorty. For cupboards with pull-out doors there is a choice between using a frame unit or a unit where the runners fit to each side of the cabinet.   This latter type fit the cabinets exactly so it is important to make the right choice.  The size is guided by the out cabinet size and fittings included make allowance for carcasses between 16-19mm thick.  These units use a Blum Tandembox Drawer unit to glide in and out of the cupboard and we include the cost of these in our pricing (note: other suppliers charge extra for these). See our Buying Guide to In-cupboard Bins for further details Call us on 023 8097 0230 if you want any help in making the right choice.  We are always happy to help!
