Sabco Rubbish Bins
Verified1 review
I paid $90ea x 2 for two of these bins + delivery, worst investment ever. Found it very hard to find decent sized white BINS (Bunnings only grey bins and couldn't find in store anywhere else) so reverted to online. The lids are very annoying when putting food in so these need constant cleaning because my family seems to be immune to putting anything in the bin without getting it on the very annoying swing lid. The lid often gets stuck open and relies on a tiny bit of plastic which I imagine is easy to break. And through general use some of the plastic has broken off so I dont agree with their "High Quality Durable Plastic" statement.
But the worst issue is they are quite open, big gaps, and flies are constantly in and on the bins and we have now had 3 episodes of waking in the morning to maggots that have come out of the bin and fallen onto the floor. I use surface spray in and around the bins.

Hi Heather, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the bins haven’t performed as expected, especially after purchasing two.
The swing lid is designed to allow easy hands-free use while still helping to contain odours, which is why this style is commonly used for kitchen bins. In warmer conditions, however, food waste can attract flies quite quickly if it isn’t sealed in a bag or the bin isn’t emptied regularly. We understand that can be frustrating and appreciate you raising the concern.
The plastic breaking during normal use isn’t something we would expect from this product. The bins are manufactured from durable plastic for everyday household use, so we’d like the opportunity to look into the damage you mentioned.
