Kitchen trash cans put simply, they are merely dustbins or wastebaskets, but a basic necessity for the kitchen and every room in the house.
The appearance and quality of trash cans have improved over the decades. Kitchen trash cans come in various styles and sizes, accommodating the amount of rubbish produced. A small-sized kitchen may opt for a trash can receptacle that mounts inside a cabinet door. Not only it is space-saving, it is also concealed making the kitchen looks tidy and clean. The lid keeps odour in check.
Rubbermaid trash cans are durable and there is different material makes designed for specific use. Your kitchen trash can may be compact and discreet, large, or can even be a piece of furniture. The aluminium or stainless steel trash can is more for practical purpose and sanitized look. It is fitted with a step-on pedal to open the lid when you don’t have a free hand. The ‘flip’ lid design is ideal to conceal garbage and control smell, as steel does not absorb odours.
If you want to keep pace with the ever more modern designs of stainless steel trash cans, the range of commercial-size touchless or automatic trash cans will amaze you. Built-in infrared or motion sensors detect movement within inches and they open when you approach. They will keep open until you walk away, and the ‘OFF’ switch prevents automatic operation, with the option of being able to use them manually if required.
Large galvanized steel trash cans are more for industrial use, such as restaurant kitchens, where these bins are rust proof and easy to clean. They can be even used to cook the trash can turkey! Of course, there is always an easier way to do that, using not a trash can but turkey fryers.
Wooden trash cans are perfect for the outdoors. Made from wood such as cedar, beech and Pau Lope that can withstand the weather, they look great in the garden or the deck you build. A trash can cart trolley or the trash can caddy is a great way to move few bins at once and is ideal for garden work, apart from keeping them looking orderly and neat. Just don’t let your cheeky one think it is a drum set and start banging on a trash can.
If your kitchen is of country design, you may want to consider adding decorative wooden trash can holders. Some lids are beautifully hand-painted and you can them custom-made to match your kitchen theme.
