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 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.

Pull-Out Kitchen Bins In-cupboard bins for cabinets with pull-out doors are fitted on a set of runners, allowing for super easy access as you pull the unit open and close with a gentle touch. Most of our bins for pull-out doors have soft-close runners which are extra robust with especially light, smooth and quiet operation, and which complete the closing of the door for you A small number of other pull-out door models have ball-bearing runners which are still highly functional and simply require you to push the door closed. Our bins for pull-out door cabinets come in various sizes and with numerous compartments, offering the ideal recycling solution as you can efficiently sort between different kinds of waste with easy access to each bucket. You’ll find premium designs from top brands like Hailo, ECO and Vauth-Sagel, with many bins also coming with a handy inner shelf that sits inside the cupboard, so you can store liners or cleaning products in one place. This inner shelf also covers the bins when the cabinet is closed, acting as a baffle to reduce odours. Some bin units come with lids for individual bin containers, so a smaller container of around 8-12 litres with a lid could be used as a food waste caddy. The ECO brand is one of our most popular ranges in this style and is available for numerous cabinet sizes along with varying compartments and capacities. The Vauth-Sagel ES-Pro range is another great example of this style of bin, also coming in various sizes and combining excellent build quality with brilliant design, packing in generous capacity to maximise your waste storage options.

Like our pull-out range, we offer bins suitable for cabinets measuring from 300mm up to 600mm and options for numerous compartments.

Under-Sink In-Cupboard Bins The cupboard space beneath kitchen sinks can be a useful spot for an in-cupboard bin for many customers as it allows them to make the most of a previously under-utilised space. However, the presence of plumbing in under-sink cupboards can pose some challenges when deciding which bin is best. Under-sink bins tend to have a lower height and might have a shorter depth which accommodates any pipes. Our under-sink products tend to measure under 450mm and have a depth as little as 325mm. When measuring the space that you have for a bin in an under-sink cupboard, please allow for the U-bend and pipework at the rear – you can check the dimensions of the bin itself on the product page, under ‘Specification’. For an overview of some of the best models and their specifications, take a look at our guide to kitchen bins for under-sink cabinets. What Size In-Cupboard Bin do I Need? We have already mentioned you will need to consider cabinet height, width and depth when measuring up for your bin. However, the size you choose will primarily come down to the space available; remember that there is still scope for different compartments and capacities when selecting the right size bin and style. If possible, we recommend opting for the largest bin you can as this will mean you will have to empty it less frequently and can optimise the available space to ensure your kitchen is running at peak efficiency! In-Cupboard Bins With Several Compartments With bins ranging from 14 Litres to 108 Litres and options for bins with between one and five compartments, there are many ways to conveniently sort and store your waste when installing a bin in your kitchen unit. Having several compartments means you sort rubbish as you throw it away, segregating different types of recycling based on your local recycling regulations. Many of our multi-compartment in-cupboard bins also come with a smaller food waste bin to make your life that bit easier. If you would like a more in-depth look at bin sizes, capacities and compartments, head over to our buying guide to kitchen bin sizes.

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).   ECO The ECO range of bins is relatively new to our selection and present some great choices for 2, 3 or 4 way separation of waste and recycling with a particular emphasis on providing effective food waste segregation. The ECO 3-Compartment 82 Litre Recycler is proving particularly attractive with two large buckets one of 42 litres and the other 32 litres with the addition of an 8 litre bucket which is excellent for food waste and comes with a bio-lid with an inbuilt filter to absorb odours.   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 are supplied with a 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! From Wesco we have two extra large 80+ litre bins. The Wesco Pullboy-Z 827WS640-85 has two huge 40L inner buckets, and the Pullboy-Z 827616-85 has two 29L buckets plus two 8L ones. To help imagine these capacities, it’s worth remembering that 30 litres is the capacity of many single standard kitchen pedal bins.    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. 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? WE'RE HERE TO HELP As you can tell from our very detailed blog, we know our products well, and choose only the best. We provide excellent customer service, which is reflected in our 10 Year Gold Award from Feefo for our genuine customer reviews.

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.

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 We have two ranges of Vauth-Sagel bins with differing fitting heights; 470mm and 570mm. The 470mm tall bin units have a maximum capacity of 60 litres and are great for under drawers (and maybe even a sink) and then our 570mm tall bin units which leave space above the shelf for storing items or maybe even a very slim internal drawer. Check the depth Our Vauth-Sagel bins come in 3 depths 470mm (for the lower height bin units);  476mm  and 515mm. Capacities vary from 33.2 litres right up to 91 litres with 1, 2 or 3 compartments depending on overall size. Our largest single compartment bin unit is 44 litres; there are double bins from 49 litres to 88 litres and triple bins from 53 litres to 91 litres.  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 single, double and triple versions available.. Vauth-Sagel Integrated bins are designed to fit the maximum capacity into your cabinet space, spread across one, 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: DIY 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 are working on a new kitchen or are planning some kitchen DIY this is a 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 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 available, as we have bins for 500mm, 450mm, 40mm and 300mm wide units. 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   We have a great range of bins for 600mm pull-out doors with nearly 40 options to choose from. All our in-cupboard bins our sourced from quality manufacturers including brands such as Vauth-Sagel, Hailo, Ninka, Blanco, Gollinucci and Tecnoinox - plus many more. Although all designed to fit 600mm wide cabinets the bins do come in different depths, from 403mm up to 530mm - so this a critical measurement to take before selecting your bin. The more depth you have - the greater choice available. Capacities' also vary, from our lowest capacity at 34 litres up to our largest at 108 litres and bins can have 1, 2, 3 or 4 compartments.   HINGED DOORS Our bins for hinged door cabinets are an easy fit solution, with most just requiring 4 or 6 screes into the base of the cabinet to secure them. The range of bins specifically built for 600mm wide cabinets is actually very limited due to the weight the bins would have to carry when full of waste. However, its worth remembering that any of our bins from the 300/400/450/500mm wide cabinets can be installed in a 600mm wide cabinet. Infact our Wesco and Hafele 2-compartment 64 litre bins from our 400mm wide cabinet range are excellent choices for a 600mm cabinet.  They don't take up all the cabinet width so they leave some useful storage space down one side for other kitchen items.  You can also install 2 of bins for 300mm cabinets into a 600mm wide cabinet - boosting capacity up to an impressive 80 litres using two of out Wesco Big Boy 40l bins as per below:   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.  .

We help customers every day with choosing the right In-cupboard bin for their cabinet size and for their recycling needs .

Drawer-based integrated kitchen bins

Behind closed drawers: our new Hailo in-cupboard bins will transform kitchen drawers into hidden recycling systems. 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. We are always looking for bins which will help make the most of your space and allow you to integrate recycling into your kitchen where you need it most: near to where you prepare food and clear away the waste. These new bins add to our already wide range of built-in in-cupboard bins. There are 3 models for 500mm, 600mm and 800mm wide cabinets: all need to be used with a drawer with a minimum overall depth of 450mm (measured on the runners), and a minimum of 400mm depth inside the drawer itself. 500mm drawers The Hailo Triple XL Recycling System for 500mm-wide drawers offers a generous 49-litre capacity, which is split between a large 30-litre bin and a separate 19-litre compartment. 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. It too comes complete with a lid to fit in an 800mm external width cabinet, which doubles up as a storage shelf. Each of the new, high-quality, drawer-based Hailo Triple XL Recycling Systems feature bins that are made from strong, easy-clean, grey plastic, which are held neatly in position by steel frames. Like many of the bins within the Binopolis portfolio, the new Hailo Triple XL Recycling Systems come with free, next-day delivery and, for added peace of mind, a two-year manufacturer’s warranty. Whether you are looking to transform an existing drawer into a super-functional waste and recycling bin or incorporate one into your initial kitchen design to ensure it is in a practical, ergonomic position, we have a model to suit your needs. If you don’t have a drawer but would like to add one to your cabinet in order to install a bin, we can supply a Blum soft-close drawer mechanism, base and back: get in touch with us before ordering so we can supply the best type for your needs. Note: Since this blog was first posted this range of Hailo bins has been discontinued. However, we now have a much wider range of bins suitable for drawers and pan-drawers for width from 600mm up to 1200mm from Wesco, Gollinucci and Tecnoinox. Check them out here:

The best built-in kitchen bins and recyclers for kitchen cupboards from Vauth-Sagel

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 our largest Vauth-Sagel bins  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 lower capacity bins (2-3 compartments up to 60 Litres total capacity) which are 470mm high. These lower capacity 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 range from 470mm (lower heigh bins); 480mm and 515mm. 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 We offer a choice of 14 bin units for 400mm wide cabinets with pull-out doors. All are top quality 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. they are from some great German and Italian brands including Vauth-Sagel, Hailo, Ninka, Gollinucci and Wesco. FULL CABINET HEIGHT Most of bins for 400mm cabinets make as much use of the vertical height as possible but come with an overall shelf / lid which can be used to store cleaning cloths or liners. This excellent customer review on our Feefo feedback site sums up the sort of products we provide: "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." To help imagine the overall capacity , it’s worth remembering that 30 litres is the capacity of many single standard kitchen bins (usually the cylindrical type).  BELOW DRAWER HEIGHT Three of the options we offer fit comfortably under a drawer (others may also but as always check the overall dimensions and the space in your cabinet). These include 2 great capacity bins from Gollinucci which have two 29 Litre bins making a great option for separating out waste and recycling.   HINGED DOORS It's worth remembering that most of our 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 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 best selling bins are the Wesco 64L bin with 2 large 32l buckets and the Hafele 64L bin unit, again with two 32 litre buckets but with a steel pull-out handle and lid and handles on both buckets. 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 Hailo Tandem 3 compartment bin  has one 18L and two 8.5L buckets (one with its one lid - ideal for food wate), and with a height of 346mm this is a very popular bin for fitting triple recycling separation into a compact cabinet space. 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.” Our range of Wesco products with Stainless Steel inner buckets make them 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.

Kitchen Update: 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  to update your kitchen.  With recycling options, smooth soft close, extra strong build quality and a wide range to cover standard cabinet sizes, our in-cupboard bins from leading brands such as Vauth-Sagel, Hailo, ECO, Wesco and Ninka  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, Another clever space saving option is to use the area under your sink but this will seriously limit the size of bin you can use and is not recommended for larger households and families. 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 cabinets with pull-out doors, we have a number of products which combine frames screwed to the cabinet base and door. Thees are easy to fit and less expensive but don't include soft close runners 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! The vast majority of In-cupboard bins are based on soft-close runners which attach to the sides of the cabinet and are designed to fit exactly into "standard" cupboard widths, assuming that the carcasses are built using 16mm, 18mm or 19mm wide MDF or wood. Some products are only designed to work with 18 or 19mm thick carcasses so check carefully before ordering.   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.

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 We have a choice of over 40 integrated bins for 600mm for cabinets with pull-out doors, from top brands including Vauth-Sagel, ECO, Hailo, Wesco, Tecnoinox and Gollinucci. All are top quality Italian or 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. One of the key considerations in selecting a bin for a cabinet with pull-out doors is the depth of cabinet you have as there is no 'standard' depth of cabinet and can vary from under 450mm to more than 530mm.    HINGED DOORS We also have a great choice of bins for Hinged Door cabinets to fit cupboards from 300mm to 600mm wide. It's worth remembering that any of the bins for Hinged doors can be fitted in the specified or wider cabinet if you want to place a bin on one side and a water filter, heater or more storage on the other side.  For example in a 500mm wide cabinet you can fit any bin from our 500, 450, 400 or 300mm width range. Obviously if you fit a smaller width bin this will leave some extra space down one side of the cabinet to store other kitchen items.  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 755WS640-85, which would give you 80L of copious capacity.

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 side panels, 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, 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 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 runners for the bins, which fit to the sides of the cabinet using the template provided and simple fixings All supplied with your bin). 2. A lid set on independent sliders, so that it can be pulled out as a separate 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. (note this is available on the lower Vauth-Sagel bins (under 470mm high). The lids on the taller bins are fixed to the side of the cabinet and do not slide out.) 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 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.  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.

Great built-in kitchen bins for 300mm wide cabinets

Do you have a 300mm wide cabinet? Choose from some 20 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!  ten 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.  See our full range of bins for cabinets with Pull-out doors by clicking here. 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 five 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 separate their recycling and rubbish. they come from great brands such as Blanco, Gollinucci, Hailo and Wesco. 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.

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 high 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:  400mm; 450mm; 500mm  and 600mm wide and in a range of sizes – from 34 Litres up to 80 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 01425 508474 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 a smart grey plastic with 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.
