Joseph Joseph Totem Max Waste & Recycling Bin

By stacking the waste and recycling compartments vertically rather than side-by-side, the Totem Max occupies a footprint of only 15.5 by 14.5 inches. This allows you to fit 60 liters of total capacity into a narrow space that would typically only accommodate a much smaller bin.

Yes, the bin features an integrated compartment in the lid that holds a replaceable activated carbon filter. This filter is designed to neutralize unpleasant odors from general waste and food scraps, keeping your kitchen smelling fresh.

While the bin is designed to work perfectly with Joseph Joseph IW2 and IW6 custom-fit liners, it is also compatible with standard kitchen bags. The removable compartments feature liner retaining holes and carrier bag hooks to keep any bag securely in place.

The internal buckets are fully removable, allowing you to take them out for a thorough cleaning. We recommend washing them with hot, soapy water and drying them completely before placing them back into the unit.

To maintain optimal odor control, it is recommended to replace the activated carbon filter every three months. You can easily swap the old filter for a new one by accessing the filter housing located in the lid.

Yes, a 3-liter food waste caddy is included with the bin. It is designed to be stored conveniently inside one of the main compartments or on your countertop while you are prepping food.
