We have this one.

Picture form the web:

This is my kitchen. Fits 2 trash cans front and back, not side-by-side:

get the largest one you can install.

I have a double one, hoping to use it for recycling.

with the bins and framework, I am emptying it far too often.

HIjacking because I am also pondering the world of pull out trash hardware.

I have a small galley kitchen and so the only place to fit a trash container was under the sink. I feel lucky that I was able to fit a bin that is standard "kitchen trash size" because I have a left rear offset drain.

However because it is a sink cabinet installation, it has doors which means that I have to open the door and then pull out the trash on its rollout "floor". Is there any hardware that would attach to the cabinet door and pull out the trash container in one motion.

This is not life changing of course but it would be a bit more functional to only need the one motion especially when one is dumping items.

We put in a Kessebohmer. (who knows, maybe the same company owns Rev a Shelf, they seem very similar). It fits in the left 18 inches of our 36-inch sink cabinet. Only hangup was that the plastic of the bins was 1/4" too wide to pass under our sink mounting system, so I just shaved the left side lip off with an angle grinder :) .We have an apron front undermount but it is only 8 inches deep (better for my back)

@Helen yes, there are options for that. Our cabinetmaker originally put doors on thinking we would have the type that pulled out separately and we had him switch it to a door-mounted pullout for the single motion. It did mean we had to live with the hinge cutouts on the inside of the door since he'd already put the hinges on, but after years I rarely think about those. I LOVE the pullout and am so glad we went that route!

For OP, we have the Hafele double bin pullout (it was model 502.56.580, but not sure that's still around--door-mounted version with tracks on the bottom, designed for 18" frameless door and two 36 qt. cans). Pretty sure RAS makes a similar option, though no experience with theirs. It's 12 years old and has been terrific. I am glad it's the all-metal version because things do sometimes spill. We have it in half of a 36" sink cabinet under a Kohler Cape Dory sink and it fits nicely but doesn't have much room to spare.

@Helen -- absolutely. There are options like that and you can remove the side hinge and instead install the other ones. from the outside it will look like a standard side-hinge but in practice you will pull it out. At least our contractor is saying he can easily do that.

@User thank you for the recommendation! I will check that company out ASAP!

I ikea-hacked a pullout trash drawer under the sink, but my favorite thing I added to it was the automatic drawer opener. I can nudge the door with gross hands and it will open for me to dump trash. I am also preferring the slightly smaller can - 10 gallon from 13gallon - BECAUSE we are emptying trash more, and the bag isnt getting overstuffed.

@artemis78 If i understand your suggestion correctly, the door is no longer a door but it in effect operates like a drawer as it pulls out rather than opening on side hinges.

Can I use the same front?

My cabinets were custom and made by a local shop. He is doing some additional internal modifications so i could theoretically have him do it at the same time.

@Helen yes, exactly. You can likely use the same front as long as your cabinets don't have exposed hinges that are cut out of or screwed into the front, and even then it may still work fine if they are painted cabinets. (Our cabinets are frameless and use Blum hinges; we were able to use the same door with no issue, although it does have the cutout for the hinge on the inside.) It was otherwise a pretty straightforward modification, although we had always planned to have a pullout there so we had routed the plumbing and electrical accordingly and there was plenty of clearance in the cabinet itself. Looks like this:

We did opt to mount the cabinet pull horizontally across the top rail (vs. vertically as for the other two doors) to match the function of the cabinet.

@artemis78 = Thank you for the further explanation

And talk about my tunnel vision. My cabinet maker installed a custom wall unit/desk set up for my den and one of the lower cabinets is a printer cabinet that pulls out exactly like your picture although the printer isn't attached to the door - the "floor" is attached to the door and so it all slides out when I need to access the printer which is not very often. There is an internal electrical connection at the back of that lower cabinet so everything is hidden.

I do have internal hinges and frameless cabinets. The only wrinkle is that because this was installed in the sink cabinet, it has two doors - each of which are 18". I have a combination of knobs and pulls and so the hardware on the sink cabinet are knobs and not pulls, I would not want to muck around with changing the handles so I will have to ask my designer whether the knob would be okay to use.

I could order two pulls but both aesthetically and functionally I don't think I would want pulls - apart from the issue of having to deal with the hole where the knob was.

The dishwasher has a plain pull because the line I chose didn't have appliance pulls so I went with something relatively innocuous that went with much of the rest of the metal finishes in the kitchen

@snappity that would be a great feature. I have a meeting scheduled with my designer and the cabinet maker to finish some of the internal modifications I realized I wanted after using the kitchen for a bit. When I was planning my remodel, i visited some homes he was working on and one of the kitchens did have upper cabinet doors that were pushed to open so I am sure he knows how to install that kind of mechanism

The cabinet maker is quite talented and very busy and so obviously my little piffle projects aren’t a priority and I have also been laggardly in terms of getting it done because i find any kind of work in my condo to be disruptive to my serenity and so unless it is something critical to my comfort I tend to let things slide 🤷‍♀️😂 I would have a plumber out to fix or replace my washlet or get the AC working the next morning 😂

Get the smallest one you can.

A small hinged door swing-out is all you would need with this approach. Keeps smells out of the kitchen. Our recycles go in the garage. Yes we actually walk them out there every time. We don't want our kitchen turned into a refuse center.

Also consider cleaning. A home we had a while ago was equipped with a rollout double bin. No matter how good your aim is and how clean you try to keep your hands while cooking, not everything you want in those bins will end up there. The mechanism, Blum at the time and Rev-a-Shelf (we use one for cutting boards) mechanisms are a total pain to clean.

@First Last -- thanks, i was thinking especially about the cleaning of those hinges yes. Thanks for the feedback. So you would recommend the round-bin style that is attached to the door without any tracks?

I will say that we've had our double pullouts for 12 years and have not, in my memory, ever had issues with people missing the bins (and have two elementary-aged kids who have used them since toddlerhood, too). I clean the track once a year or so, mostly because dust accumulates. BUT we also have municipal composting, so there is no food in the bins--I'm sure that makes a difference for both cleanliness and smells. (We also rinse recycling before it goes in.) Bins are emptied once a week. The only cleaning issue we have had is people (mostly kids) opening the bin with sticky hands so that the pull then has to be wiped off. That would be a plus to a foot-operated can.

I imagine this also depends on your other options, too. We can't keep trash outside because we have raccoons, and our garage (where we do keep our large trash bins) is 50 feet from the house, so definitely wouldn't work to take trash there often. But YMMV if your garage is just off your kitchen, or if you have easily accessible outdoor cans.

@artemis78 thanks for the extra color. I think the fact you don't place food leftovers / scraps in the pullouts is probably what makes a massive difference. I'm wondering how the tracks will fair with the inevitable sticky food particles otherwise... still kind of torn which way to go but appreciate everyone's input. As always seems there's no "best" solution, depends on your circumstances

My cabinet is 16” wide, I think he ended up doing custom but I’m not positive. I love it. It doesn’t smell and is easy to clean. I do empty the trash usually 1-2x day - especially with smelly foods. I like the look of the wood a lot. I have a small 7x10 galley kitchen and wanted a drawer above the garbage too. I also live in a NYC apt building with a trash shoot in the hallway, recycling on main floor.

I turned base cabinets into pullouts when we bought our house 2 years ago. Not quite as nice as drawers, but definitely better than cabinets! One of them is a trash/recycle. After I took this photo, I moved the knobs to the center of each door.
