Wesco 32L Single Pull Out Cupboard Bin

Frequently Asked Questions — Pull-Out Kitchen Bins

What sizes are available in your pull-out kitchen bin range?

We stock pull-out kitchen bins ranging from 30L through to 64L across both our Soko and Wesco ranges, in single and double-compartment configurations. Single-compartment bins are ideal for general waste only, while double-compartment bins allow you to separate general waste and recycling in one unit — perfect for households trying to reduce landfill or meet council sorting requirements.

Will a pull-out bin fit in my kitchen cabinet?

Our pull-out bins are designed to fit standard Australian kitchen cabinetry. Both the Soko and Wesco bins mount directly to the base of your cabinet using the included frame and hardware. We recommend measuring your cabinet's internal width, depth, and height before purchasing and comparing to the dimensions listed on each product page. If you're unsure which size will fit your space, our team is happy to help — just get in touch.

Do I need a tradesperson to install a pull-out kitchen bin?

No — both the Soko and Wesco pull-out bins are designed for DIY installation. The steel frame screws directly to the floor of your cabinet, and the door attachment connects the bin to your existing cabinet door so it opens automatically when you pull the door. Most customers complete the installation in under 30 minutes with a standard screwdriver.

What is the difference between the Soko and Wesco pull-out bins?

Both are premium, floor-mounted pull-out bins with full-extension runners — but there are some key differences. The Wesco bins feature a German-engineered steel frame, a lid that covers the inner buckets to contain odours, and a lid surface that doubles as a shelf for storing bin liners or cleaning products. The Soko bins feature a charcoal finish with a soft-close glider mechanism and a 3-year warranty. Both ranges are built to be permanent kitchen fixtures rather than disposable solutions.

Do the bins have a lid to prevent odours?

The Wesco pull-out bins include a lid that covers the inner bucket or buckets, keeping odours contained inside the cabinet. The lid can also be used as a small shelf to store bin liners or light items. The Soko bins sit open-top inside the cabinet, relying on the closed cabinet door to contain odours.

Can I use standard bin liners in a pull-out kitchen bin?

Yes — both ranges are compatible with standard Australian bin liners matched to the bucket size. For example, a 32L Wesco single bin takes a standard 32L liner, while the dual-compartment Wesco 64L bin uses two 32L liners. We also stock bin liners in our range if you need a reliable supply.

What are full-extension ball-bearing runners and why do they matter?

Full-extension ball-bearing runners are the mechanism that allows the bin to slide fully out of the cabinet, giving you complete access to the entire bucket — including the bottom. Cheaper bins use partial-extension runners that only pull out partway, making it awkward to remove the bucket when it's full. Both our Soko and Wesco bins use full-extension runners for effortless, smooth operation every time.

Are the inner buckets removable for emptying and cleaning?

Yes — on both ranges the inner buckets lift out completely from the frame for easy emptying and cleaning. On the Wesco range, the buckets can be removed without taking the lid off first, which is a common complaint with cheaper alternatives.

Can a pull-out bin be installed under a sink with plumbing pipes?

Yes — provided there is sufficient floor space beside the pipes. Because both the Soko and Wesco bins mount to the cabinet floor, they can be positioned around existing plumbing. We recommend checking the product footprint dimensions carefully against your available floor space before ordering.

How do I clean a pull-out kitchen bin?

Remove the inner bucket or buckets and wash with warm soapy water. The steel outer frame can be wiped down with a damp cloth. We recommend cleaning the buckets weekly and wiping the frame monthly to keep the runners operating smoothly and prevent build-up.

What warranty do your pull-out bins come with?

The Soko pull-out bins come with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects. The Wesco bins are backed by Wesco's German manufacturing quality standards. For specific warranty queries on Wesco products, please contact our team directly.
