What size cabinet is the trash and compost unit?

6 years ago
We love this design and have not been able to find anything like this. We are ordering cabinets soon and need to know what size this was. Thank you.

    Hi Liz,


    The cabinet was sized for turning the 35 qt or 50 qt trash bin sideways so the compost bin would fit in front of it..all custom - so this will be dependant on your cabinet makers specs. The Broan bin was used here. It missed by 1/16" so they are abutting! Had to have enough frame in the bin holder to support the weight. There are now couple of other companies that offer something similar so the engineering of the rim may be easier. Your designer can detail this for the cabinet maker if they are custom. Andy further questions, email or even call!

    I do understand this is custom. Do you know if it was 18"? 15"? Just wondering what size the cabinet is. Thanks!

    This one is by Broan., but I cannot find it so must be discontinued. Blanco makes a similar one - Solon Dual Mount Compost System..google and you will find many suppliers. Might even be the same one. There is also an entire unit made by Rev-A-Shelf - with 2 trash bins and 2 compost bins, requiring a wider cabinet. Here is its model number and link to one supplioer - https://mcfaddens.com/Rev-A-Shelf-53TM-24GSCDM4-FL-Quad-Top-Mount-Pullout-Waste-Containers-2x34QT-Waste-2x8QT-Recycling-Metallic-Silver.html Rev-A-Shelf has several other versions as well which you can find on rev-a-shelf.com. The Blanco requires 18" minimum cabinet but if you want to replicate this, the cabinet may have to be 21 so the trash bin could be turned sideways and fit behind the compost bin as does this one... all depends on the construction type of your cabinet. Your designer will work out the details based on cabinet and trash bin. In this version you like, the compost bin and trash bin were a tight squeeze to fit in the wood frame with adequate support! But a slight overlap of the 2 allowed it to work!
