5 litres is bathroom and bedroom scale — and small bins work precisely because they force daily emptying, which is what actually keeps waste from becoming a smell. At 24 x 19.2 x 27.9cm the rectangular shape sits flush beside a toilet, under a desk or inside a cupboard, where a round bin always leaves an awkward gap. The pedal gives hands-free opening, the soft-close lid means no clang in a quiet bathroom at night, and the removable inner bucket lifts out for emptying and cleaning. Stainless steel in a cream finish wipes clean and does not stain or hold odours the way plastic does.

Buying guide
Empty a 5L bin daily — the whole advantage of a small bin is frequent emptying, and one left for three days is worse than a large bin emptied weekly. Use correctly sized liners so the bag does not hang over the rim or foul the lid. Position it where the lid opens fully without hitting a cupboard or a wall. Lift the inner bucket out to wash it, and dry it before re-lining, since a damp bucket is where smell starts. Wipe the pedal linkage occasionally to keep the action smooth.
How it compares
Against a round bin, a rectangular body sits flush against a wall or inside a cupboard without wasting space. Against an open bin, the lid contains smell — essential in a bathroom. For a kitchen's main waste, an 11.5L or larger bin is the right size.
