As a nanny one of the families I worked for had one with a motion sensor to open it, and I really liked that. I agree about hating having to open a door/drawer. Plus those are usually so tiny. I don't want to have to take the trash out multiple times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-trash-can-do-you-have#post-2002495 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 12:34:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2002495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a stand alone that I keep in the pantry with a lid and no foot pedal.

Wow, am I the only one? We live in an apartment and DH empties the trash everyday.</p> <p>When we had a stainless with lid it got maggots!!!!!!!! Now I do a small trash that is emptied daily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-trash-can-do-you-have#post-2002388 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:27:33 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2002388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a built in cabinet drawer thing that an open top plastic trash can drops down into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-trash-can-do-you-have#post-2002277 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:41:26 +0000 Ash 2002277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pull out drawer garbage can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-trash-can-do-you-have#post-2002272 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 10:40:01 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2002272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is under the sink with a cabinet door.

Brushed stainless steel so it matches the kitchen and looks fairly smart (as far as bins go!) and is easy peasy to open. I'm not a huge fan of foot pedal bins but love the touch lids - if my hands are dirty, I can open and close it with the back of my hand or my elbow, no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-trash-can-do-you-have#post-2002136 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:30:40 +0000 lamariniere 2002136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kitchen is teeny tiny and the trash can is under the bar in full site, which is really the only place it can go. It's a trash can made to sort recycling with 3 separate compartments with 3 separate foot pedals. We actually do have a pull out cabinet under the sink designed for trash, but we put all the cleaning supplies in there instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-style-trash-can-do-you-have#post-2002099 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 09:13:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2002099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where do you have your trash can and what style is it? </p> <p>Under sink behind a cabinet door?<br /> Pull out drawer?<br /> Stand alone (foot pedal/no pedal, lid/no lid)? </p> <p>I realized while at my parents house (cabinet pull out drawer cabinet) how much I can't stand it! My hands are always messy and the last thing I want to do is try to open a cabinet or drawer. How do you keep those things clean?!? I get the appeal for having the trash tucked away and not having to look at a trash can, but I would die without my foot pedal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1753310 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 15:15:55 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1753310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to get one because our dogs could break into any trash can that was out. </p> <p>We have two of these installed in one base cabinet:<br /> <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/simplehuman-reg-commercial-grade-30-liter-pull-out-trash-can/3250539?Keyword=trash+can" rel="nofollow">http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/simplehuman-reg-commercial-grade-30-liter-pull-out-trash-can/3250539?Keyword=trash+can</a></p> <p>We use one for trash and one for recycling and have a kid-proof lock on the cabinet door (because our dog figured out how to open them). </p> <p>I like it and would recommend it. Our doesn't get too gross. We also compost, so it cuts down on food in the trash so we haven't had any issues with smell. I also take the plastic tubs out and wipe out the cabinet once every couple of months. It's mostly crumbs. </p> <p>Our cabinet doors are still on the hinges, so we have to open the cabinet door and then slide out the trash can. Young House Love had a post a while ago where they installed one and used a door mount kit that looks like a good option we might look into in the future:<br /> <a href="http://www.younghouselove.com/2014/02/taking-the-trash-out/" rel="nofollow">http://www.younghouselove.com/2014/02/taking-the-trash-out/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1753280 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 15:02:50 +0000 Ginabean3 1753280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and I love it! Never had issues with ickiness or smells. But I'm also anal about the trash and take it out when it's almost full....I never let it over flow and spill into the cabinet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1753265 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 14:57:42 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1753265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love! Ours is pull-out and we have trash in front, recycling in back. I don't take it out until it's full and have never had smell issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1753262 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 14:56:59 +0000 lamariniere 1753262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one but don't use it for trash. I keep cleaning supplies in it. I think it would get icky awfully fast, especially since we don't have a/c and the summers can get hot. Our kitchen is small, just a little u-shape, but I still prefer to have the regular trash can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1753222 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 14:40:27 +0000 MapleMoose 1753222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pull out trash bin built into one of our cabinets. I love it. I don't have to look at a trash barrel in my kitchen, I can leave it open while cooking to easily throw stuff away, and the barrel can be easily removed to clean inside the cabinet, although I haven't yet had to because the barrel opening is large enough that we don't miss when we throw something into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1753157 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 14:13:08 +0000 Mirage 1753157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and love it! I don't find it gets gross at all I just line it with a garbage bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1752792 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:49:09 +0000 snowjewelz 1752792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: We only take it out almost daily cuz our trash pile up.. But for example, I'm home alone this week and I haven't taken it out at all. And I would think the smell level is really the same as a stand alone trash can?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1752757 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:31:04 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1752757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: well first of all, it's tiny. And it has this removable rim thing that gets gross. (Goes on top of the can to hold the bag down in place.) And inevitably, stuff falls out of the trash can, onto the "floor" I guess, of the cabinet that it's housed in. We have a separate compost, so we don't have much food waste in the actual trash can, so I suppose that helps. It really just irritates me more than anything. But I make DH deal with it all, lol!</p> <p>I also kind of feel like whatever smells there are, get trapped in the cabinet, and then when you open it they all rush out at you at once. Growing up, (and at my parents house now) we had/have a traditional stand alone trash can, and I never feel like it smells or anything. Of course that could be because my dad takes the trash out about every other day. Here, our bags are something crazy like 2.50 per bag (it's a "trash tax") so DH tries to cram at LEAST a week's worth of trash into one bag. I have to ask him for like, 3 days in a row before he'll take it out. (But that's good for the planet and everything.) </p> <p>Trash is just gross to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1752731 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:21:53 +0000 Weagle 1752731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cranberryapple: DH does all of our trash too. It's not like it's a tiny trash can, but at this point we're just creating a ton of trash for some reason. It's probably more like every other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1752727 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:21:19 +0000 cranberryapple 1752727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Can you tell me more about the icky-ness factor that you've encountered? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1752722 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:19:42 +0000 dagret 1752722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ILs have one -- two bins actually, one for the recycling and one for garbage - and they really like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-recommend-a-pull-outbuilt-in-cabinet-trash-can-do-you-like-yours#post-1752720 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:18:59 +0000 cranberryapple 1752720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: @snowjewelz: I think my DH who is the trash taker-outter would not like having to take it out every day!
