5. What skill level is required to install a Recycologic bin?
Installation is a little more skilled than basic flat pack furniture assembly as holes have to be drilled carefully so as not to drill right through cupboard doors. Installation should not be attempted by anyone with less than a moderate practical ability.

6. FOOD WASTE - how does a Recycologic bin deal with it?
The simplest solution is to use a plastic liner which can then be emptied into the compost container and the liner disposed of separately.

7. Can a Recycologic bin be fitted under a sink?
Probably yes, but it does depend on the dimensions of the sink and cupboard unit beneath. Please refer to the
Installing Under a Sink section of the technical info
page / installers. All models have a 'lift-out' rear panel that allows access to pipes, shut-off valves, electrical outlets etc, at the back of the cupboard.

8. Do you sell plastic liners to fit into the Recycologic bins?
No. The idea is that you can use the liners commonly available in your local shops. The exact size of the liners is not important; for example, if they are a little large, then the door just opens a little further. When mixing different liner sizes, liners may be adjusted by knotting the drawstring. Guideline sizes are given on the Liners type & size page.

9. Reusable liners - where are they sold and what sizes are available?
Please go to the buy now page to order packs of reusable liners. They are currently only available in the 'small' size to fit onto one bag holder. If you require a larger version, please contact us on Feedback And Other Enquiries.

10. Do you supply a free-standing version I can just put in my kitchen?
No not as yet though this may happen in the future. If this is what you would really like then please contact us and write to us on Feedback And Other Enquiries.
