More recently, a container for the disposal of kitchen waste in every home was ordinary and unpretentious. However, modern technologies do not stand still, and the trash bin in the kitchen can have separate compartments, an automatic lid lifting function or a system for pressing waste into small packaged briquettes. Manufacturers offer the widest range of containers for collecting household waste, which differ in configuration, colors and materials.

Selection rules

In order not to get confused when choosing the optimal model of the garbage container presented the consumer industrial stores, it is necessary to decide which sample will be the most suitable. And above all, you should pay attention to:

1. For dimensions. It is necessary to choose the right container in terms of volume. After all, a too large bucket will be taken out much less often, and the waste will collect, decompose and emit an unpleasant odor.
2. On the construction. Household waste containers can be made in a variety of shapes. However, it is necessary to build on the place in the kitchen, where, after purchase, it will serve the owners for a long time. So, for example, a pull-out bin for a sink is usually made in a triangular or rectangular geometric design, since such shapes take up much less space. The most compact are the right-angle bins, but the rounded structures take up much more space.

3. For coloring. If possible, the container should be matched in color in accordance with the colors of the kitchen set and surrounding household items.

Materials (edit)

What the waste bins are made of is just as important. They are usually made from:

• Sheet metal. The containers made of this material are stylish, beautiful and durable buckets that will favorably emphasize the interior, harmoniously complementing the kitchen space. However, they differ in considerable cost, and washing them is quite problematic.
• Plastic. Cheap waste bins made of this material are quite lightweight and differ in a variety of shapes and colors.

Some samples of such waste bins - "venus flycatchers" even determine the size of their "catch" and open the lid so that the waste could easily crawl into it. The prices for such units are quite high.

This use of the trash can is quite convenient, because there is no need to touch the trash can, so your hands remain clean.
