  • I am getting tired of trying to find a kitchen bin. Don't need anymore than about 40 litres of so, thought I had found one in the Curver touch bin that is currently about £23 in T but the reviews on amazon are no good.

    The problem is that it cannot be above 30 cm diameter or on one width, and I would prefer a touch bin because a home compost bin lives in front of it.

    The other problem is I do not want to pay more than about £20 for it.

    Oh, and I would like a bit of colour :D

    I can't believe the price of some of the bins, we manufacture something that then gets phenomenally marked up so I have some idea of the base price of something and know bull well that I should be able to get a reasonably priced touch bin that will not fall apart in no time flat, the resellers seem to disagree.

    A reasonably priced bullet bin of that size would do but all the ones I have found have been about 35 cm diameter :(

    Anyone any better ideas?

    Have you tried The Range, they have quite a few online
    Rubbish bins are my kitchen nemesis, I have had loads from sensor to pedal, the worse one was a Brabantia costing £150 , I broke it in a week:o I got a replacement and broke that in two days :o:o Now I have a 40L Simplehuman White Plastic Pedal Waste Bin from The Range £29.99 and it is great, I can wheel it round the house when I am doing jobs and put it under my counter top out of the way, it is not very stylish but practical and robust :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
