How To Hide Kitchen Trash Can

1. Pull-Out Trash Can Cabinet

• Install a sliding system inside a lower cabinet (often under the sink or in an island).

• The trash can stays hidden when not in use and slides out smoothly when needed.

• Many systems support dual bins for trash and recycling.

2. Tilt-Out Trash Cabinet

• Looks like a regular cabinet door or a piece of furniture.

• The door tilts forward to reveal the trash bin.

• A good option for small kitchens where space is tight.

3. Under-Sink Setup

• Place a smaller trash can under the sink for a discreet solution.

• Add a swing-out or pull-out rack for easier access.

4. Built-In Kitchen Island

• Dedicate part of the island to a hidden trash compartment.

• Some designs include countertop openings, so scraps can be swept directly into the bin below.

5. Standalone Tilt-Out Furniture

• Freestanding furniture-style bins (wood, bamboo, or metal) disguise the trash can completely.

• They add storage and style while hiding the waste.

6. Creative DIY Ideas

• Convert a deep drawer into a pull-out trash drawer.

• Use decorative baskets or bins with liners for a rustic look.

• Add a small sliding door flap on cabinet fronts for quick access.

7. Extra Tips

• Choose bins with tight lids or odor filters to keep smells contained.

• Measure your cabinet space before buying a hidden trash system.

• For multi-purpose setups, consider dual or triple compartments for recycling and compost.
