Waste Bin WESTCOTT E-744607 12.3 L Wire Mesh Round, Silver

WESTCOTT E-744607 12.3 L Wire Mesh Round waste bin in silver is a compact metal receptacle designed for collecting paper and general dry waste. The cylindrical shape and open mesh construction give visible contents and promote airflow to reduce odors, while the lightweight steel frame provides stable everyday use in offices, classrooms, and homes. With a capacity of 12.3 liters and a diameter of 230 mm by 270 mm height, this bin fits under desks or next to workstations and is easy to empty and maintain.

Advantages

The wire mesh design offers visibility of contents and continuous airflow, which helps minimize moisture build-up and odors. Its metal construction is both lightweight and durable, resisting dents and maintaining shape during regular use. The round shape and modest dimensions make placement flexible in tight spaces, and the open top allows for quick disposal and easy removal of liners or loose paper.

Suitable for

• Office desks and shared workspaces for paper and dry waste
• Classrooms and lecture halls for student paper and small trash items
• Home offices or study areas where a compact bin is required
• Reception areas and meeting rooms for lightweight, non-wet waste

When it may not be suitable

This wire mesh waste bin is not intended for wet or liquid waste because the open mesh allows liquids to pass through and will not contain spills. It is also not designed for heavy, bulky, or sharp refuse that could deform the mesh or pose a safety risk. For environments requiring concealed storage of sensitive waste or strong odor control, a closed or lined container with a lid would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 12.3 liters
• Material: metal wire mesh (steel)

How to use

Place the waste bin on a flat, stable surface near desks or seating areas. Use it for collecting paper, envelopes, packaging voids, and other dry office refuse. If preferred, line the bin with a suitably sized liner or disposable bag for easier emptying: fold the liner over the rim and replace when full. To clean, empty contents and wipe the metal mesh with a damp cloth and mild detergent; allow to dry completely before reuse.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether you need a container for dry waste only or one that must hold liquids
• Available space and the bin's diameter and height to ensure proper fit
• Preference for visible contents versus a concealed design
• Compatibility with standard small liners or bags for easier maintenance

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this bin for paper and dry refuse only, place liners for simple disposal, and perform periodic cleaning to maintain appearance and airflow. Avoid disposing of wet or sharp items to preserve the mesh structure and prolong service life.
