Home Bargains shoppers looking for simple ways to keep kitchens and bathrooms tidy may be interested in a low-cost storage solution currently available in stores and online. The discount retailer is selling an over-door bin designed to reduce clutter and free up floor space, priced at £2.99 and comparable in design to a higher-priced alternative sold by B&Q.
Home Bargains has built a loyal customer base across the UK by offering everyday items at low prices, spanning homeware, garden products, food, beauty, and toys. Founded in Liverpool in 1976, the retailer continues to focus on practical products aimed at everyday household needs.
Product
The item is the Home Bargains Utility Over Door Bin, which has a capacity of eight litres and costs £2.99. It is available both online and in physical stores, subject to local stock availability.
Designed to hang over cupboard doors or mount onto walls, the bin is intended to help households manage waste or storage without using valuable floor space. Its compact design makes it suitable for smaller kitchens, bathrooms, or utility areas.
Design
According to Home Bargains, the bin is easy to clean and features an odour-trapping lid to help contain smells. It comes with two fitting options: an adhesive pad for wall mounting and a hook that allows it to hang over cupboard doors.
The retailer describes the bin as space-saving and versatile, suitable for use in both kitchens and bathrooms. It can be used for food waste, general rubbish, or even as storage for cleaning supplies.
Comparison
The £2.99 bin is similar in concept to B&Q’s Kitchen Bin 9L, which has a slightly larger capacity and retails at £24.99. B&Q’s version also features a lid designed to reduce odours and can be mounted on walls or hung over cupboard doors.
B&Q states that its bin is made from PP and TPE materials, which are described as sturdy and durable. It is marketed for use in a range of settings, including kitchens, bathrooms, offices, bedrooms, and even campers.
While both products serve a similar purpose, the key difference lies in price and size, with Home Bargains offering a smaller but significantly cheaper alternative.
Use
Over-door bins have become increasingly popular for households looking to maximise space, particularly in kitchens where floor area can be limited. By positioning the bin at cupboard height, users can dispose of waste more conveniently without bending down.
For renters or those seeking non-permanent storage options, the ability to hang the bin over a door without drilling may also be appealing.
Availability
The Home Bargains Utility Over Door Bin is available for £2.99 online and in selected stores. As with many budget homeware items, availability may vary by location, and shoppers are advised to check local stock before visiting.
