Ikea kitchen bins

davidspd

I'm wanting to get an in cabinet kitchen bin, the type that has 2 or 3 compartments so that you can sort your recycling.

I've been having a look at the Ikea Variera/Utrusta http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S69017606/ one, but cant for the life of me work out if it can be used with a hinged door. Does anyone have one of these and can explain to me how it works before i go on a 100 mile round trip to my nearest Ikea.

I want to be able to open the hinged door and the bin to be able to slide out on a set of runners. Does the Ikea bin do this?

Thanks

ETA: Went to look on the Ikeafans site for info, but it appears to have been taken down by Ikea (boo)

That bin is not designed to fit in a cabinet with a hinged door.

If you look at the UTRUSTA fitting instructions, the pictures show the frame being fitted into a high fronted drawer.

To me, it doesn't appear possible to easily adapt it either.

If you look at the Utrusta pull out waste sorting tray http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/70246112/
and download the instructions, it shows it being mounted into a cabinet with a hinged door. I have an earlier version, and it slides in and out of the open cabinet with the hinged door no problem. You do need to find which of the waste bins will fit into it and suit your purposes though, as they come in different sizes.
