🛠️ Installation & Setup Guide
1. Prepare Your Cabinet
Measure the inside of your corner base cabinet to confirm a minimum opening of 30″ wide by 30″ deep by 36″ tall. Clear out existing shelving or clutter to provide unobstructed rotation.
2. Assemble the Post
Slide the steel rotation post into the supplied base plate. Secure it with four screws into the cabinet floor. Ensure the post is vertical and tightly fastened.
3. Attach the Bearing Mechanism
Mount the bearing assembly to the cabinet ceiling using the remaining screws. Verify smooth movement before adding bins.
4. Install & Label Bins
Slide each bin onto the post, stacking them evenly. Affix the six color-coded labels (e.g., Plastic, Glass, Metal, Paper, Compost, Misc.) to the front of each bin for intuitive sorting.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove and clean the bins?
Simply lift the bin straight up off the post. The bins are shallow enough to carry to the sink for rinsing or wiping. Their smooth plastic construction prevents residue buildup.
Can I use different labels or add more bins?
Yes. While six labels are included, you can create custom labels for specialty streams like batteries or e-waste. The 1″ post can support more bins, provided cabinet depth allows rotation.
Is the rotation mechanism noisy?
No. The whisper-quiet bearing ensures silent operation, even in overnight or low-traffic areas.
What if my cabinet differs slightly in size?
The system’s steel post can be trimmed with a hacksaw to fit shorter cabinets. For wider cabinets, you may need to adjust the mounting locations or use a backing board for stability.
