Brabantia Sort & Go Waste Bin, 25 Litre, Mint

We needed a temporary solution for our apartment since metal trash can can be a few hundred dollars -- which we didn't want to invest in a temporary space. These look cute and work great. I have two side by side, one for trash and one for recycle. Our regular trash bags also work just fine.

This bin looks as good in real life as it does online – however it disappoints in use. On a daily basis the bin has only one job: it needs to open and close effectively. To do that the lid has two tabs fitted into slots that act as a hinge but this configuration is not secure. When lifting the lid up it consistently detaches from the bin. Instead of swinging open it pulls right off the bin. This is a handsome product that fails to do its job. 5 stars for style, 1 star for functionality.

I purchased this trash bin but not for trash. I was looking for a tall, skinny bin to hold cat litter, and this works perfectly. Now I can buy it in bulk and not have to deal with multiple cardboard boxes. I highly recommend this bin for whatever purpose suits your needs.

A visitor to my place laughed when she saw this bin and asked how I managed to find one that went so well with my furniture. I love the color, and that it's not an ugly industrial-looking waste bin. The handle is perfect for taking it downstairs and out to the recycling area. And the lid fits well and comes off easily. Great find.

Fantastic bin!

Who knew a bin could be so great! It's sleek modern clean designs suits many kitchen styles for me the size was perfect for fitting well in a slim space. It's really lightweight and having a carry handle it's so easy to take out to the main disposal bin. The perfect fit bags mean the bags fit snugly and fit the bin exactly the easy pull handles make for closing up easy when transferring. The bin while slim holds much more than you expect, it's lightweight so easy to lift... The lid opening is large and leaves clear clean space to put in the rubbish, I've not seen my bin remian so clean with all my monsters around using it. Who knew I could really like a bin

Lovely colour recycling bin

I'm really pleased with the Brabantia Sort and Go 40litre bin. I was worried that it would be the dark grey bin, as online it says 'grey' but shows a picture of the 'light grey' model. It is the light grey model. Which I'd say is more cream than grey in case that helps anyone. The photo online is accurate colour. I'm pleased because it goes perfectly with the colours in my kitchen. The muted tone makes it look less like a typical ugly bin. Shame the handle is black, as that cheapens the look. But that's only partially visible, so not a big deal.I like that it doesn't have a foot pedal, as I don't feel it's necessary for a recycling bin, and it keeps the unit a simple shape easy cleaning, and no mechanism to break.I use it for collecting up cardboard recycling. ... MoreI'm really pleased with the Brabantia Sort and Go 40litre bin.

It seems to about the equivalent of one recycling bag (as issued by my local council bin collection).

The best bins I have ever owned

Superb easy to empty.The handle really helps . The bin takes up very little space. Excellent design. I Bought the Standard waste bin and that was excellent design too which made me try this bin . I am not disappointed. Both are superb.

Very slim and convenient recycling bin

Very convenient yet very practical recycle bin that works both ways, it can fit inside the cupboard and it looks beautiful outside anywhere in the house. Its very slim so takes less space and beautifully adjusted in any corner of the room/kitchen area/ bathroom. The lid sits perfectly on the bin (in such a way that the smell of garbage does not come out) so ideal for using nappies as I have a toddler and newborn in house.Another plus is the size, which is amazing with the capacity of 40L.It has a long handle that make the bin easy to carry, additionally the bin bags that came along with it has drawstrings made with extra durable plastic so it easily lift, tie and carry. Please note this is not a pedal pin, for putting the trash ,you have to open the lid by hand ... MoreVery convenient yet very practical recycle bin that works both ways, it can fit inside the cupboard and it looks beautiful outside anywhere in the house.

Well worth it for recycling

Great product for my mixed recycling. Well made, just as expected from picture & size is spot-on (ordered grey). Above all it blends into the kitchen & I've been able to ditch the eyesore I used to have. I like it so much that I'm going to order another one for soft plastic recycling !

good design

Very nice design, holds a lot but fits in well, no wasted space. More good design, the bin bags don't get gripped by a vacuum as most bins do so it's easy to empty. Only one concern (and not a strong one) I think the lid should be a bit stronger, especially where it fits round the bin. Otherwise a very good product in a modern colour colour
