Sliding kitchen bin

lolly5648

I have just bought a new pedal bin and when I put my foot on it it moves. Is there something I can put on the bottom to stop it sliding?

Google 'adhesive rubber feet'.

Unfortunately that won't work as the bottom of the bin doesn't touch the floor - it is on a circular raised metal base.

I had this, the rubber sticky things didn't stick for long because they don't have much surface to stick to. In the end I glued little blocks of wood to the inner side of the bin underneath and stuck the rubber thingys onto them. The rubber thingys did need replacement about every 6 months.

You can get circular non-slip mats that go under dog bowls. Could you use something like this?

The pound shops, Home Bargains, etc sell non slip mats on a roll. You can cut to size if required. Although they're not expensive, they do work.

At any market, or £1 shop, you can get a long roll (looks about the size of a roll of tin foil would) of black rubber matting that's to stop things sliding around. It's not solid, it's an open weave. £1, black, rubberised, matting. Cut a chunk off, lob it under the bin. Job done. It'll be on the stall/section where you get all the other cheap/random kitchen items such as plastic storage boxes and steam bags and assorted kitchenalia.

Thanks for all the replies, especially to Kingfisherblue and PasturesNew. I bought a roll of non-slip matting in Poundland, found it next to dishcloths, and it works perfectly.
