Make the Most of Your 300mm Cabinet with Wesco Waste Bins
When designing or updating a kitchen, it’s easy to overlook narrow cabinets — but even a compact 300mm wide unit can become a highly efficient storage space with the right planning. Wesco offers a range of high-quality waste bin systems designed specifically for narrow cabinets, helping you maximise capacity, improve waste separation, and keep your kitchen clean and organised.
Whether you have traditional hinged doors or sleek pull-out door, there’s a Wesco solution that fits perfectly. In this guide, we’ll show you how to transform your 300mm cabinet with smart, space-saving bins — including options for maximum capacity and easy recycling.
Wesco Waste Bins for Hinged Doors (Cabinet-Floor Mounted)
BIG BOY 30L and 40L
If you’re looking for maximum single-bin capacity in a small footprint, the Big Boy range is a fantastic choice.
- Big Boy 30L and Big Boy 40L models are designed to sit directly on the base of the cabinet making them easy to install.
- Simply open your cabinet door, and pull the bin out by hand.
- They offer generous volume for narrow width cabinets, and the fixed internal lid keeps odours contained when the system is closed.
The Bio Single bins are perfect for narrow and shallow-depth cabinets where space is limited.
- Available in 32L and 26L sizes, these bins are also base-mounted.
- They’re a brilliant fit in under sink or in shallow depth units, giving you high capacity without needing a full-depth cabinet.
Again, just open the door, pull the bin forward, and you’re ready to use it.
Big Bio-Double 36L (26L + 10L)
Need to separate waste and recycling in a tight space? The Big Bio-Double 36L is ideal.
- It features two compartments (26L + 10L) within one compact frame.
- Like the others, it is mounted to the cabinet base, with no need for complicated door fixing.
- Just open the cabinet, pull out the bin, and sort household waste quickly and easily.
Quick Note:
Because these bins are free-standing inside the cabinet, they’re also great for bespoke or retrofitted kitchens where door-mounting isn't possible or desirable.
Wesco Waste Bins for Pull-Out Doors
For cabinets fitted with pull-out doors, the Pullboy AZ is the go-to Wesco solution.
- Designed to fit 300mm wide pull-out drawers, the Pullboy AZ provides neat, concealed waste storage.
- Depending on the configuration, you can choose between 1 x 26L + 10L, perfect for Drawerline cabinets where a drawer sits above, or 1 x 32L + 1 x 10L, maximising the functionality of the space.
- The bins are easy to remove for cleaning and replacement, and the pull-out mechanism makes access effortless.
- With integrated soft-close Blum runners this option is smooth and silent.
The Pullboy AZ system is particularly popular in modern handleless kitchens where integrated, streamlined waste solutions are key.
🛠 Why Choose a Base-Mounted Bin?
Base-mounted bins are a smart choice for many kitchen layouts, especially for narrow cabinets like 300mm units. Here's why:
- Flexible Installation: No need to fix anything to the door — ideal for retrofitting or when using premium cabinet doors you don't want to drill into.
- Easy Access: Simply open the door and pull the bin out manually. Great for both right- and left-handed users.
- Sturdy and Stable: Bins are mounted securely to the cabinet floor, ensuring they stay firmly in place even when fully loaded.
- Odour Control: With fixed lids inside the cabinet, smells are contained even when the cabinet door is opened.
- Space Optimisation: Maximises use of narrow or awkward spaces, including under-sink areas with plumbing obstructions.
For anyone wanting a robust, simple, and efficient waste solution — base-mounted bins are the way to go!
🚪 Hinged Door vs. Pull-Out Door Bins: Which is Right for You?
Choosing the right type of bin depends on the kind of cabinet door you have — and how you prefer to use your kitchen space.
Tip:
If you have a traditional cabinet with standard hinges, a base-mounted bin is the perfect solution.
If you are planning modern kitchen redesign, a Pullboy AZ setup offers a more integrated feel and the additional luxury of soft-close.
Small Space, Big Impact
No matter the size of your kitchen, every cabinet can be put to smart use — and with Wesco’s cleverly designed waste bins, even a narrow 300mm unit becomes a hardworking part of your layout.
