Trash bin BRABANTIA NewIcon 5 L Round Steel Gold, pedal-operated, 5 L capacity

The BRABANTIA NewIcon 5 L is a compact, round pedal-operated trash bin with a 5-litre capacity and a steel housing finished in gold. Designed for small spaces such as bathrooms, toilets, nurseries or compact offices, it provides hands-free opening for hygienic waste disposal and a textured, scratch-resistant surface for a refined look.

Advantages

The bin combines a space-efficient 5 L volume with a durable mineral textured coating that resists scratches and wear. A soft-closing lid and light pedal operation make it easy to use, while the tight-closing, odour-proof lid helps keep smells contained. Practical features include a removable plastic inner bucket for easy emptying and cleaning, a non-slip base that prevents slipping and scratching of surfaces, and an integrated anti-tilting block for stability. The product is made partly from recycled material and is highly recyclable after use.

Suitable for

• Small bathrooms and toilets
• Nurseries and changing areas
• Compact kitchenettes or office desks
• Bedrooms or dressing rooms

How to use

Place the bin on a flat, stable surface. Step lightly on the pedal to open the lid and release your waste into the removable inner bucket.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended waste volume — suitable for light, everyday waste up to 5 L.
• Available space — measure the intended location to ensure the round shape and dimensions fit.
• Colour and finish — gold textured coating for a decorative look that may show fingerprints differently than matte finishes.
• Bin bag compatibility — designed to work with Brabantia PerfectFit bin bags (sample included).

Usage recommendations

For hygienic handling, use suitable bin liners and clean the removable inner bucket regularly. Avoid disposing of excessively heavy or bulky items to preserve the pedal mechanism and anti-tilt stability.
