The Tiyafuro 2.4 Gallon bin offers a versatile approach to kitchen waste by allowing for both countertop placement and wall-mounted storage. This unit is constructed from high-density polypropylene, a material known for its chemical resistance to food acids. The design features a dual-mode lid that can either flip up or slide down, which provides flexibility depending on whether the bin is hanging or sitting on a flat surface.
Specifications show a wall thickness of approximately 1.8mm. When using the included adhesive bracket to mount the unit, it is helpful to monitor the load weight, as heavy wet scraps such as citrus or melons can put pressure on the mounting plate. The hanging hook is particularly useful for small kitchens, as it allows the bin to be suspended from a cabinet door, effectively clearing valuable counter space during meal preparation.
- The slide-open lid feature is designed for easy access when scraping cutting boards.
- The non-porous plastic surface helps prevent deep-seated odor absorption.
- Large 2.4-gallon capacity reduces the frequency of trips to the outdoor compost pile.
Since this model relies on a mechanical overlap lip rather than a pressurized gasket, regular emptying is recommended to maintain a fresh kitchen environment. Users may find that keeping the plastic hinges clean of debris helps maintain a smooth opening action over time.
If you require a more compact, filtered solution for odor control, the Blue Ginkgo 2.6L bin offers a smaller footprint with high-impact polymer construction.
This unit is a practical addition to any of the waste management strategies found in our countertop compost bins collection.
