Product Description

Ebco Swing Out Waste Bin (Rectangular Double) is a cabinet-mounted dual-compartment waste management system designed for modular kitchen cabinets — particularly under-sink units — where it provides organised, accessible waste segregation without occupying counter space or floor area. Available in two variants: SOWBR-15D (15L total, two physically separate 7.5L bins) and SOWBR-20D (20L total, one large bin with a removable divider separator creating two 10L sections). Both variants operate on a swing-out mechanism — when the cabinet door is opened, the bins swing outward toward the user, providing full, unobstructed access to both compartments without reaching deep into the cabinet or removing the bins entirely.

The dual-compartment configuration supports waste segregation at the point of disposal — the most practical way to separate wet kitchen waste from dry recyclables, or general waste from compostable material, without requiring two separate bins in the kitchen. The SOWBR-15D with two separate 7.5L bins is the cleaner option for strict segregation — wet and dry waste never share the same bin body, making cleaning easier and cross-contamination less likely. The SOWBR-20D with a single 20L bin and removable separator offers more total capacity in the same cabinet footprint, and the separator can be removed entirely for use as a single large 20L bin when segregation is not required. Both variants are designed for standard modular kitchen cabinet dimensions and mount to the cabinet interior using included hardware.

FAQs

1) What is the difference between SOWBR-15D and SOWBR-20D — which should I choose?

The SOWBR-15D has two physically independent 7.5L bins — wet and dry waste never share the same bin body, which means each bin can be removed, washed, and relined independently. This is the better choice for strict wet/dry segregation and for kitchens with moderate daily waste volumes. The SOWBR-20D is a single 20L bin with a removable divider — it offers 33% more total capacity in a similar cabinet footprint, and the separator can be removed entirely when you need the full 20L for a single waste stream. Choose SOWBR-15D for strict segregation and easy individual bin cleaning; choose SOWBR-20D for higher capacity and flexible single or dual-bin use.

2) How does the swing-out mechanism work — does it require a special cabinet door?

The swing-out mechanism is a hinged arm or frame mounted to the cabinet interior that pivots outward when the cabinet door is opened, bringing the bins with it to a position outside the cabinet where both compartments are fully accessible. It works with standard modular kitchen cabinet doors — no special door type is required. The mechanism is calibrated to swing in coordination with the cabinet door opening arc, so the bins clear the door frame and swing out as the door reaches its open position. Ensure adequate clearance in front of the cabinet when open — typically 300–400mm of clear space in front of the cabinet for the bins to swing out fully.

3) What cabinet size (width and depth) is required for each variant?

Confirm the minimum cabinet dimensions from the product packaging or Ebco's product datasheet before ordering — the swing-out mechanism requires adequate internal width for the bin frame and sufficient door clearance for the outward swing arc. As a general guide, the SOWBR-15D suits cabinets from approximately 400mm internal width and the SOWBR-20D suits cabinets from approximately 450–500mm internal width. Your modular kitchen installer or carpenter will confirm the correct fit against your specific cabinet dimensions before installation.

4) Can I use standard garbage bags, and how do I change them?

Yes — both variants are designed to accommodate standard small and medium garbage bags. To change the bag, open the cabinet door (the bins swing out automatically), lift the used bag out of the compartment, tie and dispose of it, and line the compartment with a fresh bag. The bins remain in the frame during bag changes — you do not need to remove the entire bin from the swing-out system for routine bag replacement. For the SOWBR-15D, each 7.5L bin can be lifted out of the frame individually for thorough washing when needed.

5) Is this suitable for use under a kitchen sink with plumbing pipes taking up cabinet space?

Yes — the swing-out design is specifically advantageous in under-sink cabinets because the bins mount to the cabinet side wall or door and swing outward, rather than sitting on the floor of the cabinet where the P-trap, waste pipes, and stop cocks are located. This means the plumbing occupies the centre-floor space of the cabinet while the bins use the side space and door-adjacent area — both coexist in the same cabinet without conflict. Your plumber and kitchen installer should coordinate the bin mounting position to ensure it does not obstruct access to the stop cocks or trap for future servicing.
