Choosing the right trash can size for the kitchen is a balance between waste volume, household size, and available space, and industry trends indicate that a 13-gallon (about 50-liter) capacity remains the most common choice for U.S. households. This size typically accommodates several days’ worth of waste for an average family without requiring excessive bag changes, making it both practical and economical.
Waste management professionals note that households with fewer members or limited kitchen space often choose 7- to 10-gallon (26- to 38-liter) cans, while larger families or those who cook frequently may prefer 16- to 20-gallon (60- to 75-liter) options to reduce trips to the outdoor bin.
Manufacturers are increasingly offering kitchen trash cans with features such as odor-sealing lids, step pedals, and dual compartments for trash and recycling. This has led to more consumers selecting slightly smaller bins for general waste and pairing them with dedicated compost or recycling containers to support sustainable practices.
Market analysts predict that as waste separation regulations tighten and home composting grows in popularity, demand for multi-bin systems will rise, potentially shifting the standard “single large bin” model toward modular kitchen waste solutions.
