Choosing A Rubbish Bin

Choosing a rubbish bin can be a tricky process. Many people go with the traditional plastic bins which are not very easy to clean and often do not look great. There is a new option available to anyone looking for a high-tech, stylish, durable, attractive rubbish bin; these are stainless steel bins. The stainless steel rubbish bin is extremely tough, which means that it will be able to withstand any kind of treatment.

The size. The first thing you have to ask yourself when purchasing a new rubbish bin is how large do you need it to be? Do you have a big family or are you just living by yourself? This will all make a difference in how much waste your family produces, the actual waste itself and how much space you have in your home to place a new rubbish bin. You should be looking at approximately 5 square feet per bin and this means that if you have three people living in your house then you should expect to have three separate bins in order to meet your waste requirements.

The locking lid. A lot of people prefer the plastic bins which come with a standard locking lid, however if you have a dog or a cat then they will probably want to be able to get into and out of the bin themselves. In this case it is worth investing in a bin with a secure locking lid. Some of these bins come with an automatic lock mechanism which means that when the lid is shut the automatic lock shuts the lid on the rubbish bin keeping it safe from the inquisitive pet. The locking lid also means that you know that your bin is safe even when it is not in use as the lid cannot be opened while the bin is in use.
