A kit of parts for fitting a waste bin with a waste basket, comprising:
- a hinge element, the hinge element being arranged for being attached to the waste bin,
- a waste basket, the waste basket comprising a waste receptacle for retaining waste and a ring at least partially arranged along a periphery of an upper edge opening of the waste receptacle, the waste receptacle having apertures extending through a wall of the waste receptacle to allow for air to circulate between the inside and the outside of the waste receptacle,
- wherein the hinge element and the waste basket are arranged so that the waste basket is rotatably supported by the hinge element, the waste basket being rotatable relative to the waste bin between a first position in which the waste basket is aligned with an opening of the waste bin and a second position in which the waste basket is offset from the opening of the waste bin.
A kit of parts for mounting a waste basket to a wall, comprising:
- a frame arranged for attachment to a wall, the frame comprising a hinge element,
- a waste basket, the waste basket comprising a waste receptacle for retaining waste and a ring at least partially surrounding an opening of the waste receptacle, the waste receptacle having apertures extending through a wall of the waste receptacle to allow for air to circulate between the inside and the outside of the waste receptacle,
- wherein the hinge element and the waste basket are arranged so that the waste basket is rotatably supported by the hinge element, the waste basket being rotatable relative to the frame between a first position in which the waste basket is aligned with a bottom of the frame, and a second position in which the waste basket is offset from the bottom of the frame.
A method of making a waste basket suitable for use in a kit or waste bin arrangement according to one of the preceding claims, comprising the following steps:
- providing a sidewall sheet having apertures extending therethrough,
- bending the sidewall sheet and forming a tube using the bent sidewall sheet as at least part of a sidewall of the tube,
- using a bottom element to close one end of the tube to thereby create a waste basket, wherein the bottom element includes a narrow recess proximate a circumferential outer edge of the bottom element and using the bottom element to close one end of the tube to thereby create a waste basket includes positioning an end of the sidewall sheet within the narrow recess of the bottom element and engaging a plurality of notches arranged within the narrow recess of the bottom element with a plurality of recesses formed at the sidewall sheet.
