A rectangular bin fits where a round one wastes space. Flat sides sit flush against a wall, inside a cupboard or in the gap between a toilet and a basin, using the floor space efficiently rather than leaving the awkward crescent that a round bin always creates. The lid keeps waste covered and out of sight, which is the difference between a tidy room and one with a bin in it. It suits bathrooms, offices, living rooms and any indoor space where the bin has to live somewhere visible. Simple, practical, and chosen for shape rather than features — which is usually the right basis for buying a bin.

Buying guide
Measure the gap you intend it to live in, since the whole advantage of a rectangular bin is that it fits a specific space — against a wall, beside a cistern, inside a cupboard. Use correctly sized liners so the bag does not hang over the outside. Empty regularly and wipe the inside weekly, and let it dry before re-lining, since damp plus residue is what creates smell. If it goes inside a cupboard, check the door clears the lid when opening. For a kitchen, choose a larger bin; this scale suits rooms where waste is light but constant.
How it compares
Against a round bin, rectangular sits flush to walls and inside cupboards without wasting space. Against an open bin, the lid keeps contents out of sight and smell contained. For hands-free use in a bathroom, a sensor or pedal bin is more hygienic.
