SONGMICS LTB24L 3-Compartment Rubbish Bin, 24L Stainless Steel with Pedal Lids

If you want to sort everyday kitchen waste as you go, a divided bin is more convenient than keeping separate containers around the room. The SONGMICS LTB24L brings three waste streams together in one stainless steel unit, with an individual pedal and lid for each compartment.

Its total capacity is 24 litres, split into three removable 8-litre buckets. That layout gives you space for recyclables, general waste and food scraps, though each category has less room than it would in a single-compartment bin.

What you’ll notice day to day

Each section opens separately by foot pedal, so you can lift a lid while cooking without touching it with messy hands. The buckets have metal handles and lift out for emptying, which keeps waste sorting straightforward. Fifteen bags are included, and a rear handle makes it easier to reposition the bin when needed.

At 46.2 x 28.5 x 39.8 cm, it is designed for kitchen use, and the silver and ink black finish gives it a more considered look than a plain utility container. The practical benefit is having several waste types in one place, a basic single bin is simpler, but it does not offer the same built-in separation. Would separate pedals make sorting easier in your kitchen routine? You’ll like it if you want distinct sections without setting out multiple bins.

Buyer feedback reflects both sides of the decision. Some describe it as handy, tidy and useful for recycling, and praise its appearance. Views on size are mixed: some find the 24-litre total spacious, while others consider it small. Opinions on durability and value are also divided, so it is worth weighing the convenience of three sections against the available capacity.

Worth noting

The three 8-litre compartments work best when you generate modest amounts of each waste type and prefer sorting at the point of disposal. Because the capacity is divided, one section may need emptying before the others. If you regularly collect a large volume of one type of waste, a larger single bin or a different sorting arrangement may suit that need better. It may not suit you if you want one generous compartment rather than separate, smaller sections.

The bin is made from stainless steel, PP plastic and ABS plastic. Its independent lids are intended to help contain odours, while the foot-operated design avoids direct contact with the lids. The stated weight is 4.2 kg, a useful detail if you expect to move it around the kitchen rather than leave it in one position.

Cleaning & care

The removable inner buckets can be taken out for disposal and cleaning. For marks on the stainless steel exterior, the manufacturer recommends wiping with a damp cloth. This keeps care simple, without requiring a specific cleaning product or routine. The separate buckets also mean you can handle one section at a time when emptying or washing it.

Final verdict

Choose the SONGMICS LTB24L if your priority is a neater kitchen waste station with three pedal-operated sections, removable buckets and a compact footprint for sorting different waste streams together. The included bags and rear handle add practical touches. Its main trade-off is the divided capacity: the 24 litres are shared across three compartments, so households with heavier waste needs may prefer a larger or less segmented setup.
