Not usually. The right one only has empty cans and plastic wrappers. The left one only general household waste, which also isn't usually heavy.
Paper and compost, which are typically heavier, are separate. And we have a separate 30l rubbish bin for the cat litter.

We just buy the regular bin bags that are used in our city (as in, we have to use specific bags to make sure the rubbish collectors pick them up), in the 60l size.

Sounds great, you should post it here.

Haha no worries, I just saw an opportunity and had to go for it!
Ouf, pets have their ways of making us think twice about what we get. Thankfully, our cats have never tried to get to the rubbish because these cans would make the perfect traps. 🤣

Oh, so that's where you go? (I'm sorry, it was right there on a platter and I couldn't resist - obviously you're not trash 🙂).
Yeah, they're not cheap. But the satisfaction of having them match, perfectly fit in that corner, look fairly neutral and be pleasant to use... It's worth it for me for an item I use multiple times a day, every day.
I understand that's not for everyone and encourage you to spend as much as you want on your bins.

It's like a trap door. You push down in the middle with the rubbish and it folds down, opening in the middle.
Unless you push it all the way open, it closes automatically. If you push it all the way open, it holds in open position so you can more easily deposit larger rubbish.

Ours are 60l.

It's just a split folding lid. Normally it's closed and it closes by itself if you throw things through, unless you push it all the way open. Then it can stay open for easier access (like pictured).

We don't really use the radiator, and the bin on the right only contains plastic and cans etc., not particularly smelly rubbish.

A bit, but excellent quality

Sure, but I thought it was cool that (with very little adjustments) they still sell the same bin, and I can still get parts for it.

We don't really use that radiator. And anyway, the bin closest to it is the plastic/can bin, nothing smelly in there.

Huh, I found it for less - but maybe because I'm closer to the source.

You wouldn't believe how long is spent measuring and reading the specs and measuring again, because it sounded too good to be true 🤣

We replaced the lid on the left around 5 years ago, after the original lid broke, was fixed a couple of times, and finally croaked. Customer support confirmed the new model lid would fit, and you can purchase them separately.
Continue to be very pleased with them (and how they perfectly fit into this nook).
