A waste bin suitable for mounting within a rigid enclosure, such as a cupboard, comprises a first section 1 having a forwards sloping rear wall 5, which may be mounted within an enclosure 57, connected via a hinge 8 to a second section 2 onto which a cupboard door 60 may be mounted. Contents 9 such as refuse may be placed between first section 1 and second section 2, while the second section 2 is in the open position and are then compacted between front wall 7 and rear wall 5 as they are rotated closer together about hinge 8. The waste bin may further include; a magnetic closure mechanism which offers a strong retaining force compared to that required to open the bin, a drip tray positioned on the base of the first section, liner holders connected to the top edges of the front and rear walls, reusable liners for use in conjunction with an inner biodegradable liner, and a safety device to prevent the second section 2 from falling fully open. |
