Trash bin Hailo Öko uno Plus M — dark grey matte, pedal-operated recycling bin

The Hailo Öko uno Plus M — dark grey matte, pedal-operated recycling bin is a mid-sized household waste container designed for hygienic, hands-free operation. With a foot pedal to open the lid, a removable inner container for simple emptying and cleaning, and a stable lid mechanism, this bin supports everyday waste separation and recycling in kitchens, offices or utility rooms. Its dark grey matte finish offers a neutral, low-gloss appearance that integrates with modern interiors.

Advantages
