Why choose a galvanized steel inner bucket?
Galvanizing deposits a layer of zinc that protects the steel from corrosion: the bucket resists rain, residual liquids, and UV rays much longer than a plastic container. It doesn't warp in the sun, withstands impacts during emptying, and remains difficult to intentionally damage—a real advantage in public spaces, parks, or campgrounds. Rossignol models are designed to fit precisely into their basket, which deters theft and ensures the bag stays securely in place.
Some manufacturers, like Rubbermaid, who favour plastic, will have inner containers made of polypropylene.
What size container should I choose?
| Capacity | Typical use | Recommended bag |
| 20 L | Small bins, lobbies, sparsely used bus stops | 30 L |
| 30-40 L | Streets, schoolyards, parking lots: the urban standard | 50 L |
| 50 L | Wooden bins in parks and green spaces | 50-70 L |
| 60 L | High-traffic areas, tourist sites, campsites | 100 L |
Simple rule: always choose the original capacity of your bin; the bucket must match the shape and dimensions of the bin, not just the volume.

Round bucket or rectangular container, with Vigipirate function?
The shape depends solely on your bin: round for tulip, Zeno, or wooden models, rectangular for wall-mounted or freestanding bins like the Urbanet. Some bins, such as the 60L rectangular or the 50L Eden, can be inverted to seal the bin: a practical solution for quickly implementing Vigipirate security measures without dismantling the furniture.
Maintenance and lifespan
Regular rinsing with clean water and gentle brushing are all that's needed. Avoid abrasive or chlorinated products that can damage the zinc coating. The perforated base facilitates drainage and reduces odors. With proper care, a galvanized bucket will last for many years; replacing it costs a fraction of the price of a new bin.
How do I know which inner bucket goes on my bin?
Note the brand and model number of your wastebasket (label, invoice, or order form), then consult the compatibility chart above. If you are unsure, send us a photo and the interior dimensions.
Can you use an inner bucket without a bin bag?
Yes, but the bag makes emptying easier and reduces mess. Use a bag slightly larger than the bucket so it folds over the edge.
Are Rossignol buckets made in France?
