Keep your kitchen, office, or bathroom cleaner with this 20 Litre Stainless Steel Octos Step Bin, a hygienic foot-pedal waste bin built for busy Nairobi households and workspaces. Its distinctive octagonal shape tucks neatly into corners and beside counters, while the durable Scotch Brite stainless steel finish resists fingerprints, water spots, and daily wear far better than plastic alternatives. The hands-free foot pedal lifts the secure-fitting lid so you never need to touch it with messy hands, and the lid helps contain odours between empties. A removable inner bucket makes lifting out the liner and cleaning the bin quick and mess-free, and the non-slip base keeps it steady on tiled or wooden floors. Compact enough for a bedroom or bathroom yet practical enough for a full kitchen, this step bin brings hotel-grade hygiene to everyday home and office use.

Buying guide
If you are shopping for a bin that will actually stay looking good after months of daily use, focus on three things: the pedal mechanism, the finish, and whether the inner bucket is removable. This Octos Step Bin ticks all three — the foot pedal means you are not touching a handle with dirty hands after chopping onions or handling raw meat, the Scotch Brite stainless steel finish resists fingerprints and water spots far better than glossy chrome, and the removable inner bucket means you lift out the liner bag to empty it rather than tipping the whole unit. The 20-litre size is the sweet spot for a single kitchen counter, a compact office corner, a bedroom, or a bathroom — big enough to avoid emptying it daily, small enough not to dominate the floor space. If you generate more waste (a family kitchen, a busy buffet area, or a shared office pantry), consider sizing up to the 45L or 50L stainless steel step bins in the same range, which use the same hygienic foot-pedal principle in a larger footprint. Add a roll of bin liners sized to 20 litres and you are set for months of easy, hands-free waste disposal.
How it compares
Compared with plastic swing-lid or open bins, this stainless steel step bin wins on hygiene, odour control, and appearance — the secure-fitting lid stays shut between uses instead of swinging open and releasing smells, and stainless steel simply looks and wears better in a modern kitchen than moulded plastic. Against basic round pedal bins, the Octos' octagonal shape is a practical upgrade for tight corners and narrow gaps beside a counter or cabinet, since flat facets tuck against walls more neatly than a cylinder. If you need more capacity than this 20-litre model offers, WIMU also stocks a 45 Litre Stainless Steel Step Bin and a 50 Litre Stainless Steel Step Bin with Soft-Close Lid — both larger siblings for busier kitchens, offices, or buffet areas, while this 20L size remains the better fit for single users, bedrooms, bathrooms, and compact workspaces.
Frequently asked questions
Does the lid open automatically or do I need to lift it?
It opens with a hands-free foot pedal — press down with your foot and the octagonal lid lifts, so you never need to touch the bin with dirty or wet hands.
Can I remove the inner bucket to empty the waste?
Yes, the inner bucket lifts out completely, which makes emptying, rinsing, and fitting a fresh liner bag far quicker than tipping the whole bin.
Will this stainless steel bin show fingerprints or water marks easily?
The Scotch Brite brushed finish is specifically designed to resist fingerprints and water spots, so it stays looking clean between wipe-downs far better than a glossy or mirror-polished surface.
