Every room has a bin. Most look terrible.
A bin you don't have to hide.
12 litre polypropylene bin in Black, Green, Pink, or White. Open top, lightweight, standard bin bags fit. 30cm tall, 22cm diameter. Designed by HAY to be visible without looking like a waste management product. Buy two and use WELCOME10 for 10% off — one for the desk, one for the bedroom.
From bin you hide to bin you don’t notice.
The right colour makes an object invisible in the best way.
Day 1
The bin stops being something you apologise for
Most bins look like they belong in a utility room. A bin in a colour that matches the room stops being an eyesore and becomes just another object in the space.
Week 1
You stop moving it when people come round
A bin you don’t hide is a bin that actually gets used where it should be — next to the desk, next to the bed, wherever you generate waste.
Long-term
Two bins, two rooms, ten minutes of thinking
One at the desk, one in the bedroom. Different colours. Same object. Use WELCOME10 for 10% off when you buy both.
What makes the Paper Bin different.
Four Specific Colours
Black, Green, Pink, White. Each one considered — not generic. Pick the one that disappears into your room or the one that adds to it.
12 Litre Capacity
Right size for a desk or bedroom. Not too large to be intrusive, not too small to be useless.
Standard Bin Bags
Standard A-frame bin liners fit. No proprietary bags to hunt for — use whatever you already buy.
Lightweight
350g empty. Easy to carry when full, easy to move when cleaning. Doesn’t feel like heavy-duty waste management.
Colour Pair — Save 10%

HAY Design
From the Danish design house. A bin that doesn’t announce itself as a bin.
What sets the Paper Bin apart
Most bins are grey or black cylinders designed to be invisible. The HAY Paper Bin comes in four specific colours designed to be present — if you want — or to disappear if you don’t.
