Why this pedal bin earns its place
The Jantex DC710 is a red 65 litre Step On bin for catering establishments, made from tough polypropylene and shaped as a rectangular pedal bin. It measures 670(H) x 495(W) x 400(D)mm and weighs 3.8kg, giving a practical capacity for food wrappings and waste at a working kitchen, prep or wash-up point.
The foot pedal lets staff open the lid without using their hands, which keeps waste disposal quick when they are carrying packaging, cloths or tray waste. The manufacturer states that the capacity will help keep kitchen surfaces free from waste debris, so this is the sort of bin to place close to where waste is actually generated.
The tight-fitting lid will minimise odours, and the red colour code makes the bin easy to identify in a cleaning layout. Allow for its 495 x 400mm footprint and clear space in front of the pedal when planning the route around benches, sinks and cleaning stores.
