Vague Stainless Steel Pedal Bin 3 Liters

The Vague stainless steel pedal bin holds 3 litres and opens by foot pedal, so the lid is never touched by hand. At 3 litres this is a point-of-use bin rather than a collection bin: it sits where waste is generated — a washroom vanity, a bedside, a workstation — and is emptied into a larger bin rather than lined and carried out.

Who it suits

Right for hotel guest rooms, washroom vanities and small offices, where the bin is decorative as much as functional and gets emptied daily. It is far too small for a kitchen: a commercial kitchen generates 3 litres of waste in minutes, so specify 30 litres or more back of house and keep this size for guest-facing areas.

Common questions

Is 3 litres enough for an office desk?
Yes for a single desk or a washroom vanity. For a shared office area or a meeting room, 20 to 30 litres is the usual choice.

Does the pedal mechanism last in daily commercial use?
Pedal linkages are the part that wears first in high-traffic sites. In guest rooms and washrooms with light daily use they hold up well; in kitchens, a heavier-duty bin is the better specification.

Does it take a standard bin liner?
A 3-litre bin uses a small liner. Many sites use a supermarket-sized liner folded over the rim rather than a purpose-made bag at this capacity.

Is stainless steel worth it over plastic?
In guest-facing areas yes, because it resists scratching and looks clean for longer. In back-of-house areas plastic is lighter to empty and copes with wet floors.
