I prefer having a smaller one tucked away because it means we take it out more frequently and there's less of a chance for things to get stinky. Once we remodel we might consider adding a pull out cabinet to store the trash and recycling in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212916 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:44:13 +0000 autumnlove 212916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out in the open...hopefully LO won't play with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212912 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:42:53 +0000 Alivoo01 212912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is out in the open. Like @Grace: our house is tiny. Our kitchen doesn't even have a pantry. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212608 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:12:40 +0000 Boogs 212608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is under the sink, there isn't any other space to put it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212605 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:10:41 +0000 Grace 212605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out in the open. I wish there was somewhere to hide it, or even a nook to tuck it in, but the kitchen is just to small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212417 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:28:26 +0000 prettylizy 212417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out in the open at the end of the counter. Its racoon proof (because of one sneaky Boxer who loves her some garbage) so I doubt LO will be getting into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212396 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:24:23 +0000 mrskc 212396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>under the sink in a thing that lets it slide in and out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212113 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:56:39 +0000 MamaMoose 212113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pull out drawer under our sink for the trash can. It's small but it still takes us a couple of days to fill it. Our LO isn't here yet and we are big recyclers so we don't create too much trash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212071 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:45:35 +0000 Sweet T 212071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours has always been out in the open. DS was starting to crawl over to it a lot right before we moved. I think it'll have to go in a closet or something once we get into our new house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212065 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:43:18 +0000 Andrea 212065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: haha. stupid movers!! What was his/her name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212015 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:26:15 +0000 sslm 212015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is out in the open. I don't like the under the sink ones, because I have always found garbage accidentally misses the can and makes a mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212008 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:23:59 +0000 Andrea 212008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: she used to love the phone but never cared about the trash can. I think it's because she knows it is dirty. She is a clean freak, hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-212001 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:22:39 +0000 mrs. bird 212001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: we used to have one of those! i loved it! i put eyes on it &amp; we named it... the movers left it behind when we moved =(</p> <p>we have ours out in the open. it's a stainless rectangular one with a foot pedal. we can't put one under our sink because out garbage disposal unit takes up too much space under there, and we don't have a pantry to hide it in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-211996 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:21:16 +0000 matador84 211996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i hate having it out in the open, but we don't have a pantry and i would take it out a million times a day if we had one smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-211992 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:20:39 +0000 LAGS 211992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one out in the open but we both hated it. We recently renovated our kitchen and now have one in a slide out cabinet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-211986 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:19:53 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 211986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is in the pantry. Our pantry is walk in so there is plenty of room for it. I put it in there because our dog loves to dig in the trash. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-211982 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:18:10 +0000 chopsuey 211982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Your LO is such a good girl! Stays away from your phone.. your trash can.. -.- Mine's a curious little bee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-211980 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:17:36 +0000 chopsuey 211980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Ugh.

I'm so happy it's behind closed doors now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-211977 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:16:27 +0000 Andrea 211977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep it out in the open. DD stays away from it even though it is motion sensored so you'd think she would be attracted to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-211966 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:13:44 +0000 Running Elley 211966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep ours out in the open but it’s a pretty heavy duty one that you have to open with the pedal thingy lol. Before we bought it I told DH we should just get a cheap, small one and put it under the sink but we’d have to take it out like 5 times a day so it wasn’t realistic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-keep-your-kitchen-trash-can#post-211962 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:12:31 +0000 chopsuey 211962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen people put it under their sink, out in the open, in their pantry.. </p> <p>We had ours out by our sink, but I CANNOT get LO to stop slapping the lid! I think she's drawn to the shininess! Drives me crazy.. so finally after a few months, I moved it into the pantry. </p> <p>The idea kinda grosses me out, but it's just extra motivation to take the trash out daily. </p> <p>We don't keep much in the pantry anyway. I'm willing to empty the entire thing out just to keep my LO away from the trash can! </p>
