The SONGMICS LTB17C combines a standing ashtray with a bin for small items of waste. Its black cylindrical body has a side opening for rubbish, while a metal ashtray with a removable grid sits at the top. This is one waste unit with two separate collection areas, not a set of two bins.
Footprint and usable bin capacity
The outer body measures 24.5 cm in diameter and 60.5 cm in height. Compare these measurements with the intended position and leave access to both the side opening and the top ashtray. The narrow cylinder brings both functions together in one place, rather than requiring a separate tall ashtray stand beside a rubbish bin.
The manufacturer's figure of approximately 30 litres refers to the outer body. The removable waste bucket itself holds 12.3 litres, which is the capacity to consider when planning for the amount of rubbish collected. This silver-coloured inner bucket measures 22 cm in diameter and 32.3 cm in height, so it does not occupy the full height of the outer housing. The two capacity figures describe different parts of the unit.
Empty the two sections separately
The inner waste bucket is made from galvanised steel sheet and can be lifted out of the housing. The top ashtray is removable too, and its grid separates from the tray. Rubbish and ash can therefore be emptied independently, rather than using the main waste bucket as an ash container. The manufacturer also states that the detached ashtray can be used on a table.
Finish and placement
The iron housing has a powder-coated finish. A rubber ring at the base reduces slipping and direct contact between the metal and the floor. The simple cylinder and silver-coloured details suit a restrained contemporary setting. The manufacturer lists indoor and outdoor use, including office buildings, hotels and gardens. The package contains one standing waste bin with ashtray.
