pull-out trash beneath centered sink drain?

11 years ago

Reposting with an updated titled since I can't edit.

Does anyone have a pull-out trash beneath their sink with a center drain? What size is it? Any guidance on making sure it will fit without having the sink in place yet? I need a single-bin trash under my sink but I'm concerned it won't fit. Looking for advice from those who have done it!

How wide will your base cabinet/sink be? In my 30" base, the drain is center back and I have room for pullouts on both side: two larger cans on the left for trash and recycling, and a small "freestanding" can for compost on the right, although that pullout is not the full depth of the cabinet. I just looked at it -- it still would have been possible with the drain and disposal in the middle.

I went through what you are trying to achieve. I was adamant my trash be under my kitchen sink. I had a pull out drawer made. Asked the plumber to set the pipes as far back as possible. Shopped for a trash bin that would fit. Then had to cut a small section off the trash bin so it would not bump the drain pipe.

Sorry for the blurry photo. Here is a pic of the pipe the bin has to avoid...

I have the same system as abbabug (the servo drive) but a different type of drawer. I went with a Legrabox from blum and a waste system from Blanco: http://www.blanco-germany.com/en/int/accessories/waste_separation/waste_systems.html

They have a lot of systems you can pick. The one I got had 4 bins - 2 small and 2 larger. The drain does occupy a good part in the back so I had to remove the 2 smaller ones, but that's just because I have a double sink and there's a lot of pipes.

@raee, my sink base will be 27 inches. The sink bowl is 22 inches wide. I'm amazed at how much you fit under your sink! It gives me hope :)

Thanks, @Jo for the details about your own system!

Our cabinet is only 24" wide, and has a single "D" sink installed (23" across from outer edge to outer edge) ...but our drain is not centred but near the back of the sink. We love our pull out drawer under the sink.

If you are getting a garbage disposal, I think getting as narrow a one as you can find will be key. Mine is a WasteKing, but I think that there are even smaller models out there.

I upgraded to a 28" (exterior dimension) sink and that truly is one of the best changes that I made. I would encourage you to go with a larger sink if it is at all possible! (of course if you can't, you can't, nothing wrong with that)

So I went amd took a few pictures :) Drain isn't centered, but it doesn't really matter, you can see that it makes a sort of L and all the connections and whatnot ar in the back.

Not sure how well it would go with a garbage disposal...I put mine on the other sink because it's huge and there's no wat it would have fit here.
