Product Information
Full details
The Brabantia NewIcon 5L Pedal Bin in Bronze is an ideal waste management solution for those seeking a balance of compact design and refined aesthetics in their bathrooms, offices, or toilets. Its key strengths include a durable, soft-closing lid and a removable inner bucket that makes maintenance effortless, though its smaller 5-litre capacity means it is best suited for light daily waste rather than heavy household disposal.

FAQs
Can this bin be used in a wet room or bathroom?
Yes, the materials used are designed to be durable and resistant to the conditions typically found in bathrooms.
Does this bin come with a warranty?
Brabantia products typically include a manufacturer's warranty. Please check your specific packaging or Brabantia's website for the duration and terms.
What size bin liners should I use?
Brabantia offers specific waste bags that are color-coded to match the bin size. For the 5L NewIcon, look for Brabantia size 'W' bags for a perfect fit.
Is the bronze finish durable?
The finish is high-quality, but it should be kept away from harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to maintain its sheen.
Can I remove the pedal mechanism?
The pedal mechanism is integrated into the structural design of the bin and should not be removed or disassembled by the user.
Troubleshooting
The lid slams shut instead of closing softly
Check the hinge mechanism for debris or dust. Clean the area around the pivot point to ensure smooth movement.
The bin slides when the pedal is pressed
Ensure the surface underneath is clean and dry. Verify that the non-slip base ring is correctly seated on the bottom of the bin.
The pedal feels stiff
Check if the inner bucket is correctly positioned inside the housing; a misaligned bucket can sometimes obstruct the internal pedal linkage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the bin is simple: remove the packaging, insert the plastic inner bucket, and ensure the non-slip base is firmly positioned on a level surface. To maintain the bronze finish, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh scrubbing brushes that could scratch the metallic coating. If the inner bucket becomes soiled, remove it from the outer shell and clean it with warm soapy water before drying thoroughly. Keep the lid hinge clean and free of dust to maintain the longevity of the soft-close mechanism.
