Most people have a garbage can in the kitchen and one in the bath at the very least. If you go with a smaller, garbage can, you’ll be more likely to recycle because there won’t be as much room for trash. Look for a small can with a lid. I like some without lids, like the profile open can shown above, but a lid makes you stop and think before you toss, so a lid will encourage better recycling habits. A smaller can also saves you money as their bag refills cost less (if you use bag refills).
Smaller garbage can options:
mini plastic lid step can (great for the bathroom).
Amish Made Small Oak Flip Top Wood Trash Bin – very cool smaller handmade wood bin! See more styles at Trash Cans Unlimited.
Red Steel Trash Can 8gal/30L – so retro and adorable I almost can’t stand it.
Which small can is your favorite?
