Here\u2019s what you should focus on to make sure that you select the right one for your household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capacity&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start looking at kitchen bins, you should, first of all, decide which size you need. Here is our guide to the different dimensions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>&lt;30L &#8211; these bins are suitable for single individuals or couples who regularly empty their bins.<\/li><li>30-40L &#8211; suitable for small households and families who regularly empty their bins.<\/li><li>40-50L &#8211; best for medium-sized households and infrequent emptying.<\/li><li>50-60L &#8211; best for large households or multi-compartment models.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider Your Bin Emptying Frequency<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also bear in mind how often you will be emptying your bin. A small model will suffice if you take out your rubbish every couple of days. If you only do this once every 4-7 days, you will want to go for a model with a large capacity, even if you have a small household.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Construction Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think carefully about how durable your bin will need to be. While plastic makes cleaning a breeze, it is less hardy and attractive than stainless steel. Ideally, look for a hybrid construction bin with easy-to-wipe plastic for the inner compartment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential that your bin opens well and has enough space for you to insert your waste. Consider the following factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening Mechanism<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you choose the most practical opening mechanism for your kitchen bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Foot pedal &#8211; Hands-free and durable, pedal bins are a great choice if you are looking for a long-lasting option that you can open even with your hands full.<\/li><li>Motion sensor &#8211; Convenient and hygienic; just remember you\u2019ll need to replace the batteries, and the mechanism won\u2019t last forever.<\/li><li>Handle &#8211; Simply pull up to open. Basic, but there is nothing that can break.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening Dimensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure your kitchen bin\u2019s opening dimensions are large enough for your average household waste items. While this shouldn\u2019t pose a problem for most general waste, cardboard recycling can be bulky, so do double-check.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A kitchen bin\u2019s design can make or break how useful it is. Do you need a space-saving model? Are looks paramount to your choice? Take a few moments to consider if the design will work with your available space and kitchen d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Editor\u2019s Choice of the best kitchen bin is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/simplehuman-Rectangular-Recycler-Fingerprint-Proof-Stainless\/dp\/B000TDWSBW\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"CW1814 by Simplehuman (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">CW1814 by Simplehuman<\/a>.
