FORCAR AV4679 120 Litre Waste Bin with Foot Pedal

A waste bin designed for busy kitchens, the FORCAR AV4679 collects rubbish without hands touching the lid. A foot pedal lifts the cover, keeping surfaces hygienic and freeing both hands to dispose of waste quickly. This method reduces cross-contamination in food preparation areas, where speed and cleanliness are essential.

The bin holds waste in a single polyethylene container that slides out for emptying. Polyethylene resists moisture, odours and stains, making it practical for wet or dry refuse. The container's 120 litre capacity suits medium to large kitchens, allowing longer intervals between collections without taking excessive floor space.

Four 200 mm wheels let the unit move easily across tiled or vinyl floors, even when full. The wheels swivel at the front, so the bin turns in tight spaces between worktops and cupboards. A brake on one wheel locks the bin in place during use, preventing it from rolling away when the pedal is pressed.

The bin's footprint of 550 mm by 480 mm fits alongside standard worktops and under most worktops. At 930 mm tall, it stands at a comfortable height for staff of average build, reducing bending when disposing of waste. The lid closes automatically after use, containing odours and keeping the kitchen tidy.

Cleaning involves rinsing the polyethylene container with hot water and detergent, then wiping the exterior surfaces. The foot pedal mechanism requires occasional lubrication to keep the action smooth. An optional pedal upgrade is available for an additional charge, though the standard pedal is included as supplied.
