This specialised surface treatment ensures the trash can maintains its sleek, polished appearance even in high-traffic areas, such as busy kitchens or bathrooms.

Autobins' proprietary sensor technology represents the pinnacle of touchless waste management. The precision-engineered infrared sensors detect hand movements with remarkable accuracy, opening the lid automatically when approached and eliminating the need to touch potentially germ-laden surfaces.

Autobins' intelligent power management system maximises battery efficiency, providing exceptionally long battery life that typically spans many months of regular use on a single set of batteries. This reduces the frequency of battery changes and ensures your trash can remains operational when you need it most.

Innovative Retaining Bin Liner Ring System

  • Universal Compatibility

The ingenious retaining bin liner ring solves one of the most common Waste bin frustrations keeping the bag in place. This clever system securely grips any standard trash bag, eliminating the need for proprietary liners and providing both flexibility and cost savings.

  • No Unsightly Bag Overhang

Unlike conventional dustbins that display unsightly bag edges hanging over the rim, Autobins' retaining ring completely conceals the liner edges, providing a clean appearance. This creates a clean, professional appearance that enhances your space while maintaining full functionality.

  • Secure Liner Placement

The retaining ring prevents the common problem of bags slipping down into the can when heavy items are disposed of. This eliminates the need to retrieve and reposition fallen bags, making waste disposal more hygienic and convenient.

Child and Pet-Proof Safety Features

  • Convenient Switch-Off Mode

Understanding household dynamics, Autobins trash cans include a dedicated switch-off mode that completely deactivates the sensor function. This prevents curious children or pets from accidentally opening the lid and accessing the contents, providing peace of mind for families.

  •  Stable, Tip-Resistant Design

The thoughtfully engineered base provides excellent stability, reducing the risk of tipping even when nudged by active pets or children. This design feature helps prevent messes while protecting both the dust bin and your floors from damage.

Tapered Design for Effortless Bag Changes
