Is this IKEA hack possible?

10 years ago

We are about to start work on the kitchen, and previously we've used one of the "IKEA kitchen design" services to put together a plan (I already had a layout done, I just needed them to put it into an IKEA parts list.)

The layout includes 4x9 island in the middle of the kitchen, and the sink is on an island. The sink cabinet is 36'' wide, and I originally planned for it to be a pull-out cabinet for the trash and recycling cans.

The design service is now telling me that because the plumbing pipes on the island typically come out of the floor, the sink cabinet cannot be a pullout because it will interfere with the plumbing. They say "unless you can put a wall where you have the plumbing come out above the floor, the pull-out would be blocked by plumbing."

Is this true? Did anyone else deal with this? Is there a workaround? Surely SOMETHING can be done...
