Ask your cabinetmaker if he/she can use 27" or 28" full-extension slides. I don't know prices, but they do exist.

S/he can easily custom make a pull-out to use with it.

Does your pull-out happen to be in an end cabinet? If so, you can have the rear of the cabinet be accessible from the side, with a narrow door. I've seen this done. A narrow pull-out works well here.

You'd think you'd be right...hehehe. I've asked for lots of odd things he's been okay with, but the cabinetmaker really didn't want to experiment with this one. He's doing long slides on lots of drawers, but for this he'd rather just use the kit. But just swapping out the slides on a trash kit should be feasible, right? My precious garbage-scented 6 inches!

I don't have end cabinets to use, but you got me thinking about my parent's old liquor "cabinet"...

Thanks E&D. I think you pointed me the right way. I was making it too hard!

Huh, I wonder why? My in-laws had a custom made trash pull-out and it seems very simple to make. (I'm planning to make one for myself.) It uses a standard length slide, but the pull-out is different from many I've seen. The platform attached to the slides is near the top, and the bins rest in holes cut out in it. In other words, only the rims of the cans show above the platform, and it catches any spills so they don't fall down and become hard to clean.

Hope you can work it out.

Thanks--I'll run it by him. He didn't like the idea of wood getting trashy, and I can certainly understand that. But a cleanable surface wouldn't be hard to get, even if I had to outsource it. A good excuse to visit the super awesome acrylic shop nearby.

My SIL had melamine laminated MDF or some such surface. It lasted 15 years until they remodeled and still looked OK. In any case, it'd be easy enough to replace that piece down the road if necessary.
