More hygienic than traditional bins thanks to the touch-free capability, no need to touch the bin with your hands, reducing the risks of germs spreading. The top general waste compartment can be either 1 bin, perfect for general waste, or you can split the bin with the divider supplied and use the small container for food waste. The bottom drawer is split into 2, meaning you can have a total of 4 compartments in 1 bin, great for keeping your recyclables separate from general and food waste. Top compartment for general waste has a 47.5-litre capacity, with the bottom recycling drawer having a 27.5-litre capacity, meaning less trips outside to empty your recycling. Features a built-in LED infrared sensor that automatically opens and closes the lid. Can also be opened and closed manually when the batteries are not installed.
