Where to buy stainless steel bins
Stainless steel was first discovered in 1813 when a Frenchman discovered that if he alloyed chromium with steel, it would create a corrosive resistant metal. By 1909, the formula for stainless steel began to be perfected, until the creation of the new stainless steel today. Stainless steel lends itself to cookware and bins in that they become corrosion resistant and easy to clean. Steel bins will work well in any kitchen.
Hardware stores
A hardware store would be a good place to start as far as finding a stainless steel bin. The selection sill be more limited than others, but they will carry basic bins like trash bins and perhaps even pedal bins. These bins will come in a variety of sizes and will work well in your kitchen. They will be more expensive than plastic bins of comparable sizes.
Building supply stores
Building supply stores will have a wider selection of stainless steel bins. These bins will include trash bins as well as pedal bins and others. There, you may find bins for kitchen pull-outs, recycling bins and Hailo bins. The selection will be better than at hardware stores. If you don't find what you need here, then you will most likely have to look at a store that offers a wider selection.
Housewares stores
By going to a store that focuses on housewares, you will be able to find even a wider selection of stainless steel bins than at other stores. The housewares store will carry designer brands like Hailo and others. They will be able to offer the utilitarian bins as well. Whether you are looking for a kitchen trash can, a waste bin, or a pull out waste bin, you will be able to find a wider selection here. Other stainless steel bins may also be available such as recycle containers, a swing bin, or bins that are designed to match stainless steel kitchens. The kitchen bin may have a pedal or a flap-top that resembles the bins that you find in movie theatres. Whatever the style of bin that you want, you will probably be able to find them in a housewares store - a store that is able to focus only on housewares rather than nearly everything.
