Product Overview
Here’s a cracking bit of kit that proves waste bins don’t have to be dull. The Brabantia StepUp pedal bin 16 litre is a smart, stylish, and seriously sustainable solution for any professional space. With its sleek, space-saving design and a lovely jade green finish, it’s designed to fit perfectly against a wall or in a tight corner, keeping your environment tidy and looking sharp. It’s the ideal size for smaller cafés, offices, or clinic rooms where space is at a premium but standards are high.
This bin is built for businesses that care about hygiene and the planet. The hands-free foot pedal is a godsend for preventing the spread of germs, while the soft-closing lid means no more startling clangs and bangs during a quiet lunch service. Best of all, it’s made from 91% recycled materials and is 99% recyclable itself, so you’re making a choice that’s as good for your business as it is for the environment. It’s a proper workhorse, designed for the daily grind of a commercial setting.
From its handy rear grip for easy moving to the clever click-on label holder for your recycling system, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. This isn't just another plastic bin; it’s a long-lasting, hygienic, and eco-conscious upgrade.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Flour Pot Bakery' in Brighton needed to upgrade the bins in their customer seating area. Their old metal bins were noisy and showing their age, detracting from the calm, artisanal atmosphere they'd worked hard to create.
"Our old bins were a real nuisance – loud, clanging lids and a bit of an eyesore. The Brabantia StepUp bins look so much better, and the soft-close lid has been fantastic. Customers have even commented on them! It's a small detail, but it makes a huge difference to the vibe of our bakery."
Liam O'Connell – Co-Owner
The switch completely eliminated disruptive noise from the bins, helping to maintain a peaceful environment for customers enjoying their coffee and pastries.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Simply unbox the bin and remove any protective packaging.
- If you plan to separate waste, the handy label holder just clicks into place on the front.
- For a perfect, no-show liner, we recommend Brabantia's PerfectFit 'Size D' bags (sold separately).
- Place it on a flat, stable floor, ensuring the pedal is easy to get to.
Keeping It Going
- A quick wipe with a damp cloth and a bit of mild washing-up liquid is all it needs.
- Steer clear of any harsh, abrasive cloths or chemical cleaners to keep the finish looking mint.
- The bin is a single unit, so just empty it out and wipe the inside clean as needed.
- Give the pedal mechanism a quick check now and then to make sure it's clear of any debris.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size bin liner does the Brabantia StepUp pedal bin 16 litre take?
A: It's designed for a perfect fit with Brabantia's own PerfectFit 'Size D' bin liners (code HU180), which prevent any ugly overhang.
Q: Is the inner bucket removable for cleaning?
A: No, this model features a single-unit design. This makes it lighter and simpler – you just empty the whole bin and wipe the inside clean.
Q: How robust is the soft-closing lid mechanism?
A: It's very durable. The mechanism is engineered for the demands of frequent commercial use, providing a smooth, quiet close every time.
Q: Is the jade green colour likely to scratch or fade over time?
A: The high-quality recycled plastic is colour-fast and designed to be resilient against scuffs and scratches from normal daily use indoors.
Q: Can I use this bin outdoors?
A: We'd advise against it. It's designed and built for indoor environments to protect the finish and the pedal mechanism from the elements.
Q: How do you attach the click-on label holder?

A: Yes, it's designed to be light and responsive, requiring minimal effort to open the lid fully.

Explore more from BrabantiaWhat Makes 'Cradle-to-Cradle' Certification a Big Deal?
Ever wonder what happens to products at the end of their life? 'Cradle-to-Cradle' (or C2C) certification is all about answering that question in the smartest way possible. It’s not just about being 'recyclable' – it’s a gold standard for sustainable design. It means this Brabantia commercial pedal bin 16L was created from the ground up using materials that are safe for both people and the planet.
Think of it like a library book for materials. Instead of being thrown away and ending up in a landfill, this bin is designed so its components can be safely and effectively returned to industry. They can be 'checked out' again to create brand new, high-quality products, not just downcycled into something less useful. It's a truly circular system that eliminates waste, and choosing a C2C product shows a real commitment to a healthier planet and a smarter economy.
