A Tilt out Trash Can to replace those ugly cans!
We all have them… A Bin for Trash and Recycling that sit there for the world to look at. Well. I wanted to hide them while still making it easy to access.
UPDATE:
A few people asked Why I put it in front of the window…and not centered? Check out my other posts to get the answer… here you can see the kitchen redesign and the dog station which is in the corner.

Some requirements:
- It had to hold Both Cans which are tall and wide.
- It had to easily open and stay open without holding it.
- I wanted a drawer to hold trash bags and grocery bags.
- It had to look like the rest of the kitchen and be reasonably attractive.
OK… lets get started. I considered buying a simplehuman Double bin… but they are $200 and not very large… plus no drawer!
Looks like I am making them from scratch. (I needed a new project anyway!)
I always have some spare wood on hand.

I used:
- 3/4″ Plywood sheet for the sides and bottom
- 1/2 ” Plywood for the drawer and body of tilt doors.
- 3/4″ Hardwood for drawer face and top.
- 14″ Full extension drawer glides.
- Knobs, Pulls, and Hinges.
I made it 15″ deep, 36 ” wide, 40″ tall.
I built a faceframe using pocket holes and glued it on with biscuits to hold it in alignment.
