What It Is

The ECO Bin is a 42-litre waste bin designed to fit within your kitchen cabinetry. Made from durable plastic in Orion Grey, it's built to handle daily kitchen waste while staying completely hidden from view.

Where It Fits

This bin works in base units, typically in a 300mm wide cabinet. You'll find it suits kitchens where you want waste disposal handled discreetly, without a visible bin taking up floor space. It works particularly well in galley kitchens or open-plan spaces where maintaining clean lines matters.

How It Works

The bin pulls out smoothly on runners when you open the cabinet door. At 42 litres, it holds roughly the same as a large pedal bin, but the advantage is that it's completely contained within your kitchen's design. You simply lift out the inner container to empty it.

Why It Matters

Hidden waste storage keeps your kitchen looking intentional. There's no bin visible on the floor, no lid to lift with messy hands, and no awkward placement decisions. The 42-litre capacity means fewer trips to empty it, even for busy households.

Design Consideration

This system requires you to open a cabinet door every time you dispose of waste, which some find less convenient than a foot-pedal bin. The fixed dimensions mean it needs to fit your cabinet opening precisely. Consider whether the trade-off between convenience and appearance works for how you use your kitchen.

Build Quality

The plastic construction is robust enough for kitchen use and the Orion Grey finish resists showing marks. Blum backs this with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting confidence in the mechanism and materials. The smooth operation comes from quality runners that won't jam or stick over time.

Closing Guidance

If keeping waste completely hidden matters more than the convenience of an always-accessible bin, this works well. The key is ensuring your cabinet dimensions match exactly, and that you're comfortable with the door-opening step each time you dispose of waste.
