So necessary in kitchen and bathroom...I don't like looking at trash.

Had it for 15 years, loooove it! Preferably where you are preparing for cooking...

Do it! We love ours! Convenient, but hidden, and daughter's dog can't knock it over!

Love mine under the sink. So funny, everyone who visits and tries to find trash can has to ask, " where do you keep the trash?"

Under the sink garbage usually has smaller container but it doesn't take up room in other parts of the kitchen.

Love mine. Debated since I would lose a cabinet but so glad I did.

Love ours, both trash and recycling are out of sight.

Love it - and yes dual trash and recycling

If you mean in the kitchen, we have one in our island which we really like...never had one before. It's garbage pullout is close to the sink but the island is where I have all my baking supplies and equipment in large drawers.

Love it, I have trash and recycling pull-outs in my island.

Love mine.

For a while I did, but then I tried a motion sensor lid garbage can and now I really like that for in the kitchen because you can throw things away with messy hands without making everything else dirty. If I was going to put a pull out garbage can in again, I'd want to put some kind of foot opening mechanism so you could get access without using mucky hands on the door.

In bathrooms it depends on available space - in the powder room/guest access room I tend to go with a cute lidded small can because then it's right there for anyone who needs it and no one has to feel bad about 'snooping' to look for the trash. (But as I've mentioned before, my in-laws were Very Very British about feeling like they were intruding or snooping so hated having to open cabinets to find things, so I'm used to catering to them a little.)

wow, thank you everyone. I have a sink in the island (prep area) and a main sink for dishes, I also hesitate because of using up cabinet space, but sounds overwhelmingly yes, should I put one at both? Never thought about the bathroom, great idea.

I had one for recycling and one for trash in island with 4 drawers on the other end. Really miss it!

I think you will be very happy with a pull out in a cabinet but with a foot pedal so that you are hands free. Many times when cooking your hands are contaminated when throwing out trash and using a foot pedal becomes a sanitary necessity.

@All About Interiors LLC - So that's definitely something that exists?

Absolutely! trash and recycling in pullout cabinets next to the sink or prep area. Looks better, saves floor space and works great if you have a big dog that won't stay out of exposed trash bins (like ours)

I don't have room under kit or bath sink for pull outs. I have RackSack attached on the inside of a door.

did you decide to go with a pull out trash cabinet MRHansen?

Brenda, Yes I decided to sacrifice storage and put it next to both the prep and main sink. The kitchen is pretty large so I think it will be great. I appreciate the input.

best of luck with the renovation. hope you'll post photos when it is complete.

Love them. If you're concerned about cleaning handles after using them with dirty hands, some manufacturers now have foot pedal activated ones.

Off the subject but does anyone have ideas about paper towel holders? My cabinet guy doesn't do the open paper towel dispenser under the counter. I don't want to do what I have now by having the dispenser under the upper cabinets.

It is a must in the kitchen! Do both bins trash and recycling in the pull-out cabinet. You will love it!

I just purchased new kitchen cabinets and included a pull out trash cabinet with a drawer over the top (separate). But then I started to wonder, even though the contents of the drawer doesn't touch the trash, is it unsanitary to use a drawer above a trash cabinet for silverware?

It would be great if you don't have kids. They constantly miss the can and the you have garbage getting all gross in your cabinets and it is a lot harder to clean. You can't take the cabinet out and hose it down.

To avoid the problem with the kids missing the can, get the wastebasket that fits the size and the shape of the cabinet. Also I have attached a picture with a good example of using a wastebasket in a pull-out cabinet.

That picture did not show up well. Here you go a different one.
