Trash Bin Donau LIFE D307-12, openwork metal wastebasket, 12 L, pastel orange

Donau LIFE D307-12 is a 12‑liter openwork metal wastebasket in pastel orange, designed for everyday use in offices, home workspaces and communal areas. Its perforated, ventilated body reduces moisture buildup and hides contents while remaining easy to empty. The compact cylindrical shape fits under desks or beside workstations and is intended for paper and other dry, non‑wet refuse.

Advantages

The openwork metal construction provides ventilation that helps prevent odours and dampness in paper waste, while the pastel orange finish offers a discreet yet identifiable accent in shared environments. The lightweight but sturdy metal body is easy to move and maintain; its perforations allow quick visual inspection without fully exposing contents. The 12‑litre capacity balances compact footprint with sufficient volume for daily deskside disposal.

Suitable for

• Office desks and administrative areas for paper, packaging and dry waste
• Home study rooms and children's rooms for everyday dry rubbish
• Reception areas, meeting rooms and communal spaces as a decorative, functional bin

When it may not be suitable

This wastebasket is intended for dry, non‑wet refuse such as paper and light packaging. It is not designed for wet or heavy waste, food scraps that may leak, or materials requiring secure, sealed containment. The open perforations do not provide an odour‑tight seal and will not prevent liquids from escaping.

Key specifications

• Material: metal (perforated/openwork)
• Capacity: 12 litres
• Shape: cylindrical, open top
• Finish: pastel orange
• Intended use: paper and general dry waste

How to use

Place the Donau LIFE D307-12 beside a desk, workstation or in a communal corner. Use a suitable bag or liner if required for easier emptying and cleaning; the perforated body allows air circulation, so avoid liners that retain moisture if disposing of damp items. Empty the bin when contents reach the top or at regular intervals to maintain a tidy area. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent; dry thoroughly before reuse to prevent rusting.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended waste type: suitable for dry, non‑wet materials only
• Capacity needs: 12 litres may be small for high‑traffic or food waste areas
• Placement: perforated design is visible and not odour‑sealed
• Cleaning and maintenance: metal surface requires drying to avoid corrosion

Usage recommendations

For office and home use, pair the bin with small liners for tidy emptying, avoid disposing of wet or liquid waste, and place it where its pastel orange colour complements the interior while remaining easy to access for daily use.
