The elbow is increasingly being used as a hygienic alternative to the hand for everyday movements. The lever waste bin for public toilets picks up on this movement and makes it possible to dispose of hygiene products quickly and without touching them. It is positioned directly next to the toilet and can be operated comfortably while seated. With a slight backward movement of the arm, the user pushes the lever backwards, causing the flap and bin to swing forwards so that the waste can be dropped directly. When the arm is pulled back, the opening closes automatically. To empty, the flap is pulled forwards and the container is removed. A stop holds the corpus in position and makes the process easier.
‍
The waste bin consists of a small number of metal parts that are manufactured using efficient production processes. The metal sheets are cut to size using laser cutting technology, then bent and welded. All components, including the pipe elbow, are firmly and reliably connected to each other using plug-in and screw connections. If individual parts are deformed by external influences despite their robustness, they can be replaced quickly.

The lever waste bin not only makes it easier to dispose of waste when visiting the toilet, but also promotes hygienic behaviour in public spaces and helps to prevent unwanted waste disposal via the toilet.
