Requirements for dustbins suitable for use with normal household refuse except hot ashes. Requirements for dustbin lids are covered by BS 3735.

This British Standard specifies requirements for the dimensions, materials, design and performance of moulded dustbins (excluding lids) manufactured from thermoplastics materials suitable for use with normal household refuse except hot ashes, and having capacities from 0.05 m³ to 0.12 m³.

This standard does not take account of:

whether the dustbin is to be used conjunction with a bin liner;
the special design requirements necessary the dustbin is to be subjected to regular dragging or rolling as part of a collection system.

NOTE The title of the publication referred to in this standard is given on the inside back cover.
