"Let's be honest, even the smartest kitchen bin ideas are never going to be the most glamorous part of your kitchen set-up. But whether you're cooking up a storm or dealing with day-to-day family life, it's one of the hardest working features in the home so it's worth giving it some proper thought. From slimline designs that tuck neatly into narrow spaces to hidden solutions that keep recycling organised behind closed doors, the latest bin options are far from basic."
""One of the most overlooked parts of designing a kitchen is deciding where your bins will go," says Al Bruce, founder of Olive & Barr. "It may not be the most glamorous part of the planning process, but it remains one of the most important for the simple fact that waste is unavoidable, so it's vital you factor in where your recycling, general and food bins will be positioned.""
""A square- or oblong-shaped bin is practical because it will fit against an end unit or a wall," explains Josie Medved, design manager at Symphony Group Plc. "Make sure that the bin is tucked out of way of big traffic areas, and look for something with a lid which is easy to open - ideally with a foot pedal - if you have your hands full.""
Kitchen bins form a hardworking element of any kitchen and deserve practical, considered choices. Slimline and hidden bin designs save space and keep recycling organised behind closed doors, improving visual appeal. Multi-compartment recycling bins simplify sorting of glass, cardboard and food scraps and reduce the need for multiple mismatched containers. Position bins tucked out of main traffic areas and against walls or end units to maximise flow and accessibility. Choose lids that are easy to open and consider foot pedals for hands-free use, especially when handling food waste during cooking.
