Waste, Recycling & Utility Storage — Compliant, Tidy & Out of Sight

Between council recycling requirements and the sheer volume a household gets through, waste storage deserves proper planning — not an afterthought bin wedged under the sink. Multi-compartment pull-outs, laundry carriers and cleaning caddies keep utility functions sorted and hidden behind the door.

Sizing Your Bins

How Many Bins Does a London Kitchen Actually Need?

Most London boroughs now require food waste, mixed recycling and general waste to be kept separate, which shapes how we specify a bin unit from the outset.

Configuration 3-Bin (Recommended) 2-Bin 4-Bin
Typical Contents General, mixed recycling, food waste General & mixed recycling only General, recycling, food waste, garden/other
Minimum Cabinet Width 500–600mm 400–500mm 600mm+
Council Compliance Meets Most Boroughs Needs Separate Food Caddy Full Coverage
Best Suited For Most households, standard-size base cabinet Smaller kitchens, limited cabinet width Larger households, gardens, high recycling volume

Laundry Carriers & Cleaning Storage

Where a utility cupboard sits within the kitchen run, a pull-out laundry carrier with dedicated detergent compartments keeps washing supplies organised and out of sight, rather than a loose pile of bottles on a shelf.

Cleaning utensil baskets do the same job for mops, brushes, sprays and cloths — a dedicated pull-out that keeps cleaning kit accessible without cluttering the space under the sink where plumbing already takes priority.

Waste & Utility FAQs

Waste, Recycling & Utility Storage Questions

What homeowners most often ask before specifying waste and utility storage.

How do I know which bin configuration my council requires?
Recycling categories vary by London borough — some collect food waste weekly in a separate caddy, others combine it with general waste, and glass collection rules also differ. We check your specific borough's current collection categories during the planning visit so the bin unit you get matches what's actually collected at your address, not a generic assumption.
Can bins be mounted to the door instead of pulling out separately?
Yes, swing-out bin units mount to a side wall and base pivot, and are designed to be withdrawn from the cabinet while the lid stays inside, working independently of the door. Pull-out bin units instead sit within a frame that slides out with the door, which is the more common integrated approach for base cabinets.
What's the total litre capacity I should plan for?
As a general guide, a household of 2–3 people is usually comfortable with 30–40 litres of total bin capacity across all compartments between weekly collections, while larger households or those with limited collection frequency benefit from 50–60 litres or more. We size this against your household size and your council's actual collection frequency.
Can a laundry carrier be fitted into a kitchen cupboard, not just a utility room?
Yes — where a kitchen includes an integrated utility area or a tall cupboard housing a washing machine, a pull-out laundry carrier fits standard 450 or 500mm units in exactly the same way it would in a dedicated utility room, keeping detergent and washing supplies organised in the same footprint.
