This is Blum's integrated waste solution designed specifically for 450mm wide base cabinets. The ECO top system combines two bins, a 32-litre and an 8-litre capacity, within a single pull-out drawer that uses the entire cabinet footprint without wasting any space.
Where It Fits
The system sits within a 450mm wide base cabinet and requires a minimum internal height of 620mm. It works particularly well in galley kitchens or smaller spaces where you need maximum waste capacity within limited cabinet width. The carbon black matt finish suits contemporary kitchen designs.
How It Works
You pull the drawer out on heavy-duty runners rated to 40kg, revealing both bins positioned side by side. The larger 32-litre bin handles general waste while the smaller 8-litre bin is ideal for recycling or food waste. An odour trap shelf sits across the top of both bins, preventing smells from escaping and providing storage space for bin bags.
Why It Matters
Having two different sized bins in one location means you can sort waste without walking between different areas of your kitchen. The soft-close mechanism means the drawer closes silently even when loaded, and the odour control keeps your kitchen environment pleasant. The full cabinet width design gives you more waste capacity than traditional round bins that leave corner spaces unused.
Build Quality
The frame uses Blum's LEGRABOX system with reinforced glass fibre handles that resist breakage. Stability brackets add strength when the bins are heavily loaded, and the BLUMOTION soft-close runners operate smoothly even under the full 40kg load capacity. The system comes with Blum's lifetime guarantee.
Design Consideration
This works well when you want to separate different types of waste but have limited floor space for multiple bins. The 620mm minimum cabinet height requirement means it won't fit in all base units. Consider whether the two-bin configuration matches how your household actually separates waste, as the sizes are fixed at 32L and 8L.
Installation
The system arrives pre-assembled around the frame, requiring only the runners to be fitted to your cabinet sides before the complete unit drops into place. Optional lids are available if you prefer additional odour control.
