Stainless Steel Pedal Bins

For compact kitchens, bathrooms, or office tea rooms, a 10L or 20L stainless steel pedal bin is the ideal choice. These smaller sizes fit neatly into tight spaces while still offering hygienic, hands-free waste disposal. For medium-sized kitchens or shared office areas, a 30L bin is a practical and popular option, providing greater capacity without taking up excessive floor space. Larger households, busy commercial kitchens, or healthcare facilities often prefer 40L or 60L bins. Dual lid or divided options are especially useful for separating general waste from recyclables, helping businesses and households maintain efficient and hygienic waste management practices.

Stainless steel pedal bins are designed for hygienic and hands-free waste disposal. They are commonly used in medical facilities, commercial kitchens, laboratories, and office spaces where sanitation and durability are priorities. The foot-operated mechanism ensures users do not need to touch the lid, reducing cross-contamination risks. Their stainless steel build also provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for wet or high-use environments.

A dual lid or dual pedal bin provides two separate compartments within a single stainless steel unit, each equipped with its own soft-close lid and foot pedal. This design allows users to separate general waste and recyclables without requiring multiple bins, making it an efficient solution for both households and workplaces where space is limited. The independent pedals ensure hands-free operation for each side, helping to reduce cross-contamination and maintain hygiene standards. These bins are especially valuable in commercial kitchens, offices, and medical environments where waste streams need to be managed clearly and efficiently while still conserving floor space.

Richmond’s stainless steel pedal bins are manufactured with a fingerprint-resistant finish, ensuring they maintain a clean and professional appearance even in busy, high-traffic environments. This surface treatment reduces visible smudges, marks, and streaks that often occur during daily use, which means less frequent cleaning is required to keep the bins looking presentable. The finish not only enhances aesthetics but also contributes to hygiene, as surfaces remain easier to wipe down and sanitise. This makes them particularly suitable for workplaces where cleanliness and presentation are essential, such as medical centres, food preparation areas, office kitchens, and customer-facing commercial facilities.

To clean a stainless steel pedal bin, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove everyday marks and fingerprints, then dry it with a soft cloth to prevent streaking. It is important to avoid abrasive cloths, scourers, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the stainless steel finish and any protective coating applied to the surface. For deeper cleaning, a mild detergent or stainless steel-safe cleaning spray can be used. Regular cleaning not only maintains the polished appearance but also supports hygiene standards in environments such as kitchens, offices, and medical facilities.
