Features and types
The Dea Home catalogue available at L'Arcolaio includes two main aesthetic lines — aluminium effect and coloured plastic — and three functional solutions: single-pedal waste bin, dual-opening waste bin and multi-container set for waste sorting.
Tokyo Line – aluminium effect with pedal opening
The Tokyo has an aluminium effect finish, pedal opening, sealed odour-resistant lid and integrated bag holder frame. It is also suitable when the container remains on display — near the hob or in an open-plan kitchen area — because the aesthetic integrates well with stainless steel or dark grey furniture.
All three sizes share the same base of 38 × 42.5 cm and vary only in height:
- 40 litres (H 44 cm): the most compact size, suitable for kitchens with limited vertical space or households of 1-2 people.
- 60 litres (H 58 cm): the mid-range size, which meets the needs of 3-4 people well without emptying daily.
- 80 litres (H 72 cm): the largest model, also useful for small offices or commercial spaces.
Having the same base for all three sizes is practical: if you measure the space where you want to position the bin, any Tokyo will fit regardless of capacity.
Oslo Waste Bin – dual opening for tight spaces
The Oslo 50-litre (33 × 44 cm, H 56 cm) has an aluminium effect finish and dual-openinglid: it works both frontally (flip-top opening) and from the top. It is designed for kitchen corners where a standard lid cannot open freely upwards — narrow columns, under a low cupboard, next to a fridge. The base is narrower (33 cm) than the Tokyo line: a practical advantage in linear kitchens with limited passage space.
Set for waste sorting – EcoBin and Eco 3
For those who manage waste sorting at home, Dea Home offers two three-container solutions, identifiable by their coloured lids.
- EcoBin Set – 3 waste bins of 30 litres (39 × 39 cm, H 33 cm): front-opening and removable lid. Compact and low format, suitable inside a dedicated cabinet or on a low shelf in the laundry. In rigid plastic.
- Eco 3 Set – 3 waste bins of 50 litres (39 × 36 cm, H 54 cm): odour-resistant lids, same width as the EcoBin but taller. Reduces emptying frequency for those who produce more household waste.
Both sets are resistant to low temperatures and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
How to choose the right Dea Home waste bin
The choice almost always depends on three variables: available space, number of people and need to separate waste.
For physical space: always measure the free height and width of the space where you would place the container. Tokyo models have a fixed base (38 × 42.5 cm): if you have 38 cm of width available, any size from the line is compatible. The Oslo is narrower (33 cm) and works better in kitchen columns or corners with tight lateral space.
For capacity: as a general guideline, a household of 2 people manages well with 40 litres; from 3 people upwards you can easily move to 60-80 litres to avoid daily emptying.
For waste sorting: the three-container sets are the most practical solution if you want an integrated system ready to use. The EcoBin (30 litres per container) takes up less space; the Eco 3 (50 litres per container) reduces emptying frequency.
For aesthetics: if the waste bin is visible in the kitchen, the aluminium effect finish of the Tokyo (with pedal) and Oslo integrates well with stainless steel worktops, chrome handles or grey-anthracite furniture. The EcoBin and Eco 3 sets, in plastic, are better suited inside a cabinet or in the laundry room.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used in Dea Home waste bins?
The Tokyo and Oslo models have aluminium effect finish on rigid plastic structure. The EcoBin and Eco 3 sets are entirely in resistant plastic with coloured lids. All Dea Home models available at L'Arcolaio are resistant to low temperatures and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Does the Tokyo line have a pedal on all sizes?
Yes. All three Tokyo models — 40, 60 and 80 litres — have pedal opening, sealed odour-resistant lid, side handles and integrated bag holder frame. The pedal is present on each size regardless of capacity.
What is the difference between EcoBin Set and Eco 3 Set?
Both include three separate containers for waste sorting, but differ in capacity and size. TheEcoBin offers 30 litres per container (H 33 cm): a low and compact format, ideal under a worktop or in a small cabinet. TheEco 3 offers 50 litres per container (H 54 cm): taller and more spacious, for those who want to empty less frequently.
Can the Oslo be used in a narrow kitchen corridor?
Yes, it is one of the typical use cases. The 50-litre Oslo measures 33 cm in width — significantly narrower than the Tokyo (38 cm) — and the dual-opening lid allows it to open both frontally and from the top. In a kitchen corridor where there is limited lateral space it is the most practical choice among the Dea Home models available at L'Arcolaio.
