When it come to having a clean and organised kitchens, one aspect which often gets overlooked is knowing the best fill levels for your kitchen bins. This may sound like something obvious, but over filling or under filling your bins can lead to problems such as spillage, smells or simply not using the bin space correctly.
Section 1: Determining Maximum Fill Levels for Kitchen Bins
When it comes to kitchen bins, several factors impact the ideal fill level. Bin size, type, material, and purpose all play crucial roles. We also always advise sticking to the manufacturer's recommendations regarding fill levels. For various types like pedal bins, swing bins, or touch-top bins, and materials such as stainless steel or plastic available on our website here are some of the Wesco general guidelines.
Rubbish Bins: These come in lots of shapes, sizes, and materials. For instance, stainless steel rubbish bins are durable and elegant, while plastic bins offer affordability and easy maintenance. The ideal fill level might range between 75% to 90% of the total bin capacity, ensuring optimal space utilisation without compromising functionality.

Understanding the diverse range of bin sizes is essential for selecting the right one for your needs. At Wesco we offer an array of sizes to suit all households:
