Bin selection criteria
The design of traditional buckets is simple: a container of different size / shape and a handle, so the problem of choice is based on the following parameters: size, material, shape.
The size
The concept of "bucket" is associated with the old Russian measure of volume. One bucket leveled 100 enchantments, which amounted to 12 liters. Today, garbage containers are offered with volumes ranging from 1 liter to 60 liters. And it is unrealistic to single out the most requested size. As for jobs at home or in the office, a volume of 1-3 liters is suitable, and in kitchens, buckets of 10-15 liters are most often used.
Most importantly, manufacturers offer a variety of models of any parameters, so it is easy to choose a model of a suitable volume for any purpose.

Product form
When choosing a suitable model form matters. Manufacturers offer rectangular, square, round or oval products. Models of complex shape are in demand, when one side is round and the other has right angles. Such a geometric variety is explained by the need to install buckets inside the pedestals, cabinets (on special brackets). Some models (double) are part of the harvesting carriage, and therefore are fully customized for a specific location. The traditional round shape is the most sought after. Since it is convenient to wash round buckets, they take up little space during storage (you can put one bucket into another). Square / rectangular buckets are the most ergonomic (these are popular hanging buckets, kitchen models for separate collection of garbage).
