LEGRABOX ECO base for 450mm Cabinet, Orion Grey

This is Blum's complete waste solution for a 450mm cabinet, designed to make the most of every millimetre while keeping kitchen odours at bay. The ECO-base combines a deep Legrabox drawer with integrated bins and an odour-trapping system, all in Blum's Orion Grey finish.

Where It Fits

Built for a standard 450mm wide cabinet with at least 503mm internal depth and 640mm height. This works well in smaller kitchens where you need maximum bin capacity from limited space, or as part of a larger kitchen's waste strategy alongside recycling stations elsewhere.

How It Works

The system uses the entire cabinet footprint with two 32-litre bins sitting in a high-sided drawer. A cross divider keeps the bins stable when you open and close the drawer, while non-slip matting prevents any sliding. The odour trap shelf sits across the top of both bins, containing smells and providing storage for spare bin bags. The drawer runs on 40kg-rated runners with Blumotion soft-close.

Why It Matters

Most waste solutions waste space around the edges or compromise on bin size. This approach gives you 64 litres total capacity in a 450mm cabinet, enough for a busy household's daily waste and recycling. The odour control system means you can position this anywhere in your kitchen without worrying about smells, and the stable bins won't tip or spill when you're emptying food scraps.

Design Consideration

This works best when you need maximum waste capacity from a narrow cabinet. The system requires handleless doors if you want the TIP-ON push-to-open function, though it works equally well with handled doors using just the soft-close mechanism. Consider whether 64 litres matches your household's waste patterns, some families may need additional bins elsewhere for recycling streams.

Build Quality

The Legrabox drawer uses Blum's steel construction with reinforced fibreglass handles on the bins to prevent breakages. The 40kg runners are substantial enough to handle fully loaded bins without strain. All components come with Blum's lifetime guarantee, reflecting the engineering quality you'd expect from their commercial-grade systems.

Options

Available with either standard Blumotion soft-close or TIP-ON Blumotion for push-to-open functionality in handleless designs. Optional lids are available for additional odour control. The system comes complete with everything needed for installation, arriving fully assembled with bins already positioned.

Consider this if you're working with limited width but need serious waste capacity. The engineering ensures it will handle daily use reliably, while the odour control gives you flexibility in where you position it within your kitchen layout.
