Although they’re a necessary part of a functional home kitchen, it’s not always easy to determine where is best to put your kitchen bins within your space. Here are some smart solutions to consider.
Create an integrated bin cabinet
If you have the space, adding a pull out drawer with a clever caddy mechanism to hold multiple bins to one of your cabinets will allow you to easily separate your recycling for easy disposal.
Incorporate a useful shelf for optimal functionality
Adding a shelf to your bin cabinet for things like bin liners and cleaning products will transform a single-use part of your kitchen into a more functional design element.
A kitchen refurbishment specialist, such as www.thekitchenrefurbishmentcompany.co.uk/, could help you to identify other space-saving and functionality boosting design features for your kitchen.
Repurpose drawers for waste separation
Keeping on top of different recycling bins can be tricky without a dedicated system. Rather than trying to fit everything into one bin for separation later, consider repurposing a drawer for your cardboard to keep it dry until recycling day.
Choose a waste disposal system
Waste disposal systems grind food waste into small particles that can be washed away down the drain, removing the need for a separate compost bin.
Integrate a cupboard with a top-opening mechanism
If a pull-out bin cabinet won’t work with the amount of floor space available in your kitchen, consider installing a top-opening mechanism. This will allow you to make use of the width of your cabinet without compromising on practicality.
