What Kitchen Bins Will Fit in My Space?

There’s a lot to love about urban living, who doesn't love a kitchen bin? Maybe you live within a stone’s throw of where you work and there’s always plenty to do, not to mention the fancy apartment you live in. But there’s always a compromise and when it comes to modern city life, it’s usually space.

When it comes to kitting out your apartment with what you need. You have to be strategic and think about what’s going to work for you and meet your everyday needs. That’s why when it comes to choosing a kitchen bin, you need something that’s not going to take up a lot of precious space.

Here’s our guide to what kitchen bins will fit into your space.

Kitchen bins for small spaces: What to consider 

Function: If you’re a keen recycler, a great space-saving choice for you would be a 2- in-1 recycling and waste bin. These usually have different compartments which help you to keep your recyclables and household waste separate. 

Size: For a small space, your best bet is a slimline bin which looks great but won’t take up too much floor space.

Where will you put it?: This is the time to be strategic. Could you have a pull out bin in a cupboard under the sink to save floor space? Could you make use of the vertical space instead? 

Will it smell?: The last thing you want in your small apartment is a smelly bin. Smells are much more noticeable in smaller spaces, so you need a bin that closes securely to stop any unpleasant odours from escaping. Some bins also have odour control filters that banish nasty whiffs.
