FAQs
What are the dimensions of a single bin?
Each individual bin measures W28 x L42.5 x H56 cm (approximately 11" x 16 3/4" x 22 inches).
How wide is a set of 3 linked bins?
A set of 3 linked bins creates a unit that is 84 cm wide (approximately 33 inches).
Can I buy additional bins or lids separately?
Yes, additional 40-litre bins and color-coded lids are available separately to expand your recycling system.
What colors are available for the lids?
The lids are available in Red, Green, Blue, or Yellow options, allowing for custom color-coding.
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, the bins are primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements may affect the material over time.
What does the 'Made for Life' guarantee cover?
The 'Made for Life' 10-year manufacturer's guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, providing long-term assurance of quality.
How do I clean the interlocking clips?
The interlocking clips can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure they are dry before reconnecting bins.
Troubleshooting
Lids do not fit securely
Ensure the rim of the bin is clean and free of debris. Check that the lid is aligned correctly with the bin's opening before pressing down.
Interlocking clips are difficult to engage
Make sure the bins are perfectly aligned side-by-side. Apply firm, even pressure to connect the clips. If they feel stiff, check for any obstructions in the clip mechanism.
Bins seem unstable when linked
Verify that all interlocking clips are fully engaged. Ensure the bins are placed on a level surface. For maximum stability, consider placing heavier bins at the bottom if stacking (though this model is designed for side-by-side linking).
Product arrived damaged
Contact the retailer or Addis customer service immediately with details of the damage and proof of purchase to arrange for a replacement or resolution.
