Trash bin BRABANTIA NewIcon 5 L Round Steel Brown

The BRABANTIA NewIcon 5 L is a compact round steel trash bin with a 5‑litre capacity and a textured, scratch-resistant finish. It is designed for small waste collection in bathrooms, toilets, nurseries or other confined spaces where a stylish, low-footprint pedal bin is needed. The lid closes softly and seals to reduce odours, while a removable inner bucket makes emptying and cleaning straightforward.

Advantages

This pedal bin offers a space-efficient design with a contemporary mineral-textured coating that reduces visible wear. The soft-closing lid operates smoothly with a light pedal action and provides a tight seal to limit smells. A removable plastic inner bucket facilitates cleaning and waste bag replacement. Non-slip base material and an integrated anti-tilting block keep the bin stable during use. The product is produced using recycled material and is largely recyclable after use.

Suitable for

• Small bathrooms and toilets
• Nurseries and changing areas
• Compact kitchens or kitchenettes with limited floor space
• Home offices and personal workspaces

When it may not be suitable

With a 5 L capacity this bin is not intended for high‑volume waste collection or busy communal kitchens. It may be too small for households that generate large amounts of daily waste or for locations that require frequent emptying.

How to use

Place the bin on a stable, level surface and step on the pedal to open the lid hands-free. Dispose of small waste items into the removable inner bucket. When full, lift out the inner bucket to replace the waste bag and rinse or wipe the bucket and the outer housing as needed. Close the lid gently and ensure the bin remains positioned so the anti-tilt block contacts the floor for stability.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 5 L capacity meets your daily waste needs
• Check the compact footprint fits your intended location (approx. 20.5 cm diameter)
• Consider the brown/bronze colour against your interior scheme
• Decide if a pedal-operated, hands-free bin is preferable to manual options

Usage recommendations

Use Brabantia PerfectFit size W bin bags (sample pack included) for a neat fit. Clean the removable inner bucket regularly and avoid abrasive cleaners on the textured finish to preserve the appearance and function of the pedal and soft-close mechanism.
