  • Pro: The pedal mechanism is surprisingly sturdy and  responsive, a must-have for hygiene.
  • Con: Its sheer size means it won't suit very compact or galley-style kitchens.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Cod, a popular fish and  chip shop in a busy part of Liverpool, was struggling with overflowing bins during Friday night peaks. They needed a larger, more hygienic solution that could withstand a fast-paced environment and  reduce the number of bag changes mid-service.

"We were constantly stopping to empty the old, smaller bins. This Jantex bin immediately solved that. It’s tough as old boots, the pedal is a blessing when your hands are full, and  it’s made our kitchen feel cleaner and  more organised."

Mark Jennings – Owner, The Salty Cod

After installation, the team reduced bin bag changes during peak service by over 50%, freeing up valuable time and  improving overall kitchen hygiene.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a permanent, level spot for the bin that's convenient but won't obstruct busy walkways.
  • Upon unboxing, give it a quick wipe down with a food-safe sanitiser.
  • To fit a liner, simply open the lid, stretch the bag over the rim and  secure it using the built-in hooks.
  • Test the foot pedal a few times to ensure it's functioning smoothly after transit.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the exterior and  interior surfaces daily with a suitable cleaner and  sanitiser.
  • Ensure the lid is fully removed and  cleaned underneath at least once a week.
  • Periodically check the pedal and  lid hinge for any trapped debris and  clear it away.
  • Always use appropriately sized bin liners to prevent slips and  messy spills.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Bin

Not sure what fits best? Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect waste solution for your business.

Capacity vs. Footprint

A large capacity is great, but make sure you have the floor space. Measure your intended spot before buying to avoid blocking walkways or equipment.

Material Matters

Polypropylene (like this bin) is durable, lightweight, and  won't rust or dent easily. Stainless steel is heavier but offers a different aesthetic and  fire resistance.

Lid Logic

Pedal bins are best for hygiene. Swing lids offer quick access but can get messy. Open-top bins are only suitable for specific areas like pot-wash stations.

Colour-Coding for Safety

Using different coloured bins (like this red one) for different waste types (e.g., general, recycling, food) is a core part of HACCP compliance and  kitchen safety.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for smooth surfaces and  removable lids. The fewer crevices and  corners, the quicker and  more effective your daily cleaning routine will be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size bin liner should I use for this 87L bin?

A: We recommend using heavy-duty refuse sacks designed for 90L capacity to ensure a good fit and  prevent tearing.

Q: Is the lid fully removable for deep cleaning?

A: Yes, the lid and  hinge mechanism are designed to be easily detached for thorough cleaning and  sanitising.

Q: Is the polypropylene material strong enough for a very busy kitchen?

A: Absolutely. Commercial-grade polypropylene is specifically chosen for its high impact resistance and  durability against daily knocks and  scrapes.

Q: Can this Jantex DC712 pedal bin be used outdoors?

A: It is designed primarily for indoor use. While the material is durable, prolonged exposure to harsh weather and  UV rays may affect its lifespan and  colour.

Q: How robust is the foot pedal mechanism?

A: The pedal and  linkage are built for repeated, forceful use, typical of a fast-paced commercial environment.

Q: Why is a red bin useful in a commercial kitchen?

A: Red is often used in colour-coded systems to designate a specific type of waste, helping staff to segregate waste correctly and  support HACCP procedures.

Q: Does the bin slide around on a wet floor?

A: The bin has a wide, stable base designed to minimise movement, but on very wet or greasy floors, care should always be taken.

Q: Is the bin difficult to move when full?

A: While it has a large capacity, the bin itself is lightweight (5.9kg), making it manageable to move for cleaning even when partially full.

Why Hands-Free Operation is a Hygiene Essential

Ever stopped to think about how germs travel around a kitchen? A bin lid is a major hub. Staff touch it after handling raw meat packaging, food scraps, or used cleaning cloths, and then move on to the next task. A hands-free pedal mechanism completely breaks this chain of cross-contamination.

Think of it like an automatic door for germs – because it never gets touched by hands, it can’t become a transfer point for bacteria. Every time a chef uses a pedal bin, they are eliminating a physical touchpoint that could otherwise spread contaminants to prep surfaces, utensils, or fresh ingredients. It's not just about convenience; it's a simple, mechanical way to uphold your hygiene standards and  create a fundamentally safer food environment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants, Pubs & Cafes

    Ideal as a main general waste point in the kitchen, keeping hands clean and  service flowing.
