Pedal & Sensor Door Opening Systems For Kitchen Bins

Kitchen Recycling Bins

Kitchen bins may be a functional necessity, but this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on style. Our comprehensive range of stylish and quality freestanding kitchen recycling bins ensures you can find a product that suits your kitchen’s design as well as your waste requirements. Do I Need a Freestanding or an In-Cupboard Bin? Freestanding kitchen bins can function as design features in their own right, blending with the overall style of your space and complementing your other appliances. Whether you opt for a freestanding or in-cupboard bin will depend on the available space in your kitchen and the kind of look you want your kitchen to have. We have a great selection of both kinds of bin; you can see more about the benefits of each with our guide to freestanding vs in-cupboard bins. The Best Freestanding Kitchen Recycling Bins We stock bins from some of the best brands on the market, with premium designs from Brabantia, Joseph Joseph and Wesco. No matter if you want a characterful retro bin, a sleek modern recycler or a compact slimline option, there are plenty of ways to incorporate a stylish rubbish bin into your kitchen. Many of our freestanding recyclers are available with multiple compartments to allow you to conveniently sort waste and recycling as you throw it away. You’ll also find various capacities, with bins ranging from 33 litres to 60 litres. If you don't require more than one waste compartment, one of our single compartment freestanding bins might suit you better. For a snapshot of just some of our best-selling recyclers, see our look at the best recycling bins. Colourful Kitchen Recycling Bins One of the many great things about our collection of recyclers is that they are available in a range of colours, catering to those who want a bright pop of colour as well as those who prefer a more subdued look. Whether you’re after a classic stainless steel bin or a vibrant red bin, our extensive range is sure to meet your requirements. To find out more about freestanding recyclers, you can refer to our handy buying guide to kitchen recycling bins. You should have no trouble choosing a brilliant bin perfectly suited to your space among our range, but if you have any further questions about our products, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Binopolis team.

Door Opening Systems

Our bins for cabinets with pull-out doors come with runners that allow you to smoothly slide the bin in and out of the kitchen unit. However, you can add a door opening system that turns your regular unit into a hands-free kitchen bin for added convenience.

Different Door Opening Systems for Kitchen Bins

We stock door opening systems from top brands, including Hailo, Vauth-Sagel and Blum, to offer you a range of products, ensuring you can find the right system that makes sense for your kitchen.

Foot Pedal Opening Systems for Kitchen Bins

One option is to install a food pedal opening system along with your integrated bin. This will mean you can simply press down on the pedal to release a spring-loaded plate that pushes the door, opening it hands-free. The door can then be closed again with a gentle push. The pedal is compatible with all pull-out door bin models, as long as you have a minimum plinth height of 70mm.

Electronic Opening for Kitchen Bins

You also have the choice of two electronic opening systems that will give you a seamless hands-free experience. The Hailo Libero system is compatible with all pull-out door bin models, whereas the Blum Servo-Drive system is compatible with Wesco Pullboy Z bins only.

Please check that your cabinet and plinth have the correct minimum dimensions – see the individual product pages for more details.

Our electronic system can be used in a choice of two ways:

Gently pushing on the cabinet door (Blum Servo-Drive only)

Infra-red sensors that pick up foot movement or

Voice commands when connected to an Alexa system (Hailo Libero)

The Benefits of Hands-Free Kitchen Bins

Door opening systems like these are the ideal solution for those that want to embrace a sleek, modern kitchen design. These systems, along with whole in-cupboard kitchen bin units, can be fitted into new kitchens as well as retrofitted into an existing space.

Bins with additional opening systems can also be more accessible for people of all abilities, especially if you have a larger capacity bin and unit that some may find difficult to open.
