Expanding across touch bins, caddies and a wide variety of formats, Swan ensures consumers can select a bin that reflects both their lifestyle and their home décor.

Category Highlights

Sensor Bins

Consumer demand for hands-free convenience has driven rapid growth in this category, the quick and responsive technology ensures the lid opens without delay, while quiet-closing mechanisms provide a premium user experience. Battery operation makes these bins easy to use anywhere in the home, while reducing contact with the lid minimises the spread of germs and keeps bins cleaner for longer. With capacities ranging from compact 42L and 45L models to mid-size 50L, 55L and 58L designs, right through to large 60L, 65L, 70L and even 80L options, Tower and Swan ensure there is a sensor bin to suit every household. Swan also features 2 rechargeable bins in 65L and 80L sizes, the rechargeable lid battery provides 2 months of continuous use on a 3.5hrs charge. From slimline solutions for smaller kitchens to high-capacity models for busy family life, this format continues to dominate as the go-to choice for modern households.

Touch Bins

Touch bins remain a consumer favourite thanks to their simple, one-press mechanism that opens and closes the lid effortlessly. Swan’s touch bins, such as the 50L Touch Bin, are designed with sleek bodies, fingerprint-proof finishes and a bucket-free interior to maximise capacity. Swan also offers a stylish and compact 12L bin that’s perfect for smaller spaces like bathrooms, bedrooms or even offices featuring an anti-slip base and a convenient touch lid system. Combining durability with stylish design, these bins offer everyday practicality without compromising on looks, making them an attractive option for households who want functional solutions that blend seamlessly into modern kitchens.

Pedal Bins

Pedal bins continue to offer the ultimate in hygienic, hands-free waste disposal with the convenience of a foot-operated design. Tower’s range, including the 60L Recycling Pedal Bin, brings additional value with robust carbon steel construction, foldable pedals, and removable inner buckets for easy cleaning. Large capacities and compartment options make them a strong fit for busy households, delivering a reliable, fuss-free option for families who need long-lasting solutions. The colour options span across 4 different types including Black, Cream, Forest Green and Stainless Steel to accompany all style of kitchens.

Recycling Bins

Recycling bins are increasingly important as consumers demand easy and practical waste separation solutions. Tower leads with models like the dual compartment 60L pedal recycling bin, which offers two 30L sections for separating plastics, glass, and household waste. Built for durability and styled to complement any home, these bins are as practical as they are space efficient.

With multiple sizes and designs across Tower and Swan, retailers can offer consumers accessible solutions that support sustainable living. For instance, Tower has also developed its revolutionary Ozone Filter Fresh Sensor Bins, available in 50L, 60L, and 65L capacities. These models tackle unwanted moisture and odours while keeping kitchen spaces fresh and hygienic. The integrated ozone technology eliminates bacteria and odours through a 60-second cycle, while a carbon filter within the lid absorbs moisture and further reduces unpleasant smells. Available in a range of finishes including black, grey, stainless steel, white and copper, these bins combine innovative freshness technology with modern style.

Caddies

Food waste caddies are a growing category, driven by eco-conscious households looking for sustainable ways to manage everyday kitchen waste. Swan’s collection includes two practical options: a 3L stainless-steel compost caddy with a fingerprint-proof matte finish, built to withstand everyday wear and easy to clean with a simple wipe, and a 7L plastic compost caddy that offers larger capacity for busy households. Both make it easy to collect food scraps such as peels, skins, coffee grounds, tea bags, and herbs directly from the worktop, with removable inner buckets and easy-lift lids for mess-free disposal.

The demand is set to accelerate with the UK Government’s Simpler Recycling legislation, coming into effect in March 2026. From this date onwards, all households in England will be required to separate their waste into core categories, with weekly food waste collections becoming mandatory. Local councils must also implement separate collections for paper, card, glass, plastic, metal and cartons. Swan’s range of food waste caddies is a timely and essential solution for households, helping them adapt easily to new requirements while maintaining a stylish, practical kitchen environment.

Solutions for Kitchens

With extensive collections spanning sensor, touch, pedal, recycling and caddies, Tower and Swan deliver one of the most complete waste bin ranges on the market today. From entry-level models to premium design and across capacities that suits smaller households through to large family homes, both brands ensure retailers can meet the needs of every consumer.
