The lid of this bin remains tightly closed, preventing odours from escaping, until you approach within 30 cm with a bit of paper or an apple core. The sensor recognizes the motion and opens the lid. Now you can conveniently place your rubbish in the automatic bin. As soon as the sensor no longer senses movement, it waits five seconds and then closes the lid. The holding time is counted down on an LED display.

The automatic system with motion detector has numerous advantages: The bin's lid only opens if you want to throw something out, the rest of the time it remains closed. This is particularly important for perishable rubbish. You no longer have to touch the lid, which on regular garbage bins often becomes dirty. This protects your health. And of course, it is convenient not to have to spare a thought for how to open the bin -- it just opens itself.

The inner bin of the automatic trash can is also hygienic. The 30-litre bin contains a matching inner bin which holds the rubbish. The inner bin, made of easy-to-clean polypropylene (PP), has a handle so it can be completely removed for emptying. It can also be easily cleaned when necessary. The bin housing is made of high-quality stainless steel, which stands out for its exceptionally long service life and has a smooth surface which is very easy to clean.

There is an on/off switch for the sensor in a protected location. The automatic sensor is powered by four Mignon AA batteries (not included), so you can set up the sensor bin independently of any external power source. The lid of the automatic garbage bin can also be opened manually if needed.
