Tower T838005W Sensor Bin with Retainer Ring, Battery-Operated, 50L, White

Product Information

Born of Wesco’s 100-plus years of expertise in making household items from sheet metal, the pushboy junior is perfect in form and classic in style.

Using a plastic dock at the rear of the caddy, we clipped it snugly onto the larger waste/recycling bin. The sensor built into the lid is delayed, preventing the lid from lifting unnecessarily when children or pets pass.With two compartments, this version of the bo touch is ideal for separating different types of waste – for example, organic food waste and non-recyclables for landfill. The 80-litre capacity is more than enough for most households, helping to reduce the number of times this bin will need emptying.

Alongside single-compartment bins, which are still great for collecting specific types of waste, we now have multi-compartment or interlocking bins for separating things out. The capacity is slightly less at 50L but still large enough for busy homes that want quick and easy household waste disposal when they need it. It’s a good idea to read reviews of sensor bins online to see if other people have had these problems with the model you’re looking at. The brushed stainless steel bin body features a non-corrosive coating, meaning no rust will appear from any splashes during use. The sensors are designed in a very smart way so that the bin will only open if your hand is very near the bin, avoiding false triggers.This is a 45L capacity bin, not the largest we’ve reviewed, but that size would be fine for most households, particularly if you recycle much of your waste into other council-supplied recycling boxes. As you approach 40cm of the bin, the infrared sensor will detect movement and raise the bin lid, ready to accept your disposal items. There are a variety of sizes of sensor bin available on the market today, most commonly between 40 and 50 litres.
