Abstract: An improved pedal bin of the type comprising a removable basket eccentrically suspended about an axis inside a rigid, upwardly opened box provided with a lid pivotably mounted on one upper flange of said box, in parallel relationship with respect to the suspension axis of the basket and wherein opening of lid is achieved by action of a pedal against the bottom of the basket, to swing it around its suspension axis, and thus move upwardly the end of the basket diagonally opposed to the pedal so as to tilt up the lid. In accordance with the invention the pedal forms an integral part of the basket, and the box is provided with an opening giving free access to the pedal from the outside of the box. The basket is suspended about two pivots located in its forward upper part, each pivot engaging a hinge integral to the box. Tilting up of the lid is obtained through a finger integral to the basket.
