It is impossible to imagine a modern kitchen without a bucket for garbage collection. Many housewives are wondering where to place it so that it is convenient, and at the same time it does not spoil the interior design. There is a way out - this is a built-in bin. You should consider in more detail how to choose the right built-in model for washing and countertops, which models are in demand.
Features
A trash can is a rather popular accessory that has a low cost, a long shelf life, and is easy to maintain. The built-in garbage cans deserve special attention, since they allow you to save space, and you can also remove garbage or waste from the sink or table, while keeping your hands completely clean. Today on sale are several options for built-in buckets for the kitchen:
- in the cabinets of the kitchen module;
- to the countertop.
It is very important to pay attention to the volume of the built-in garbage can.
Its capacity should not be very large, because the facade simply can not hold a lot of weight. An excellent solution would be a model designed for 3-4 liters. This option is suitable for small families who do not throw out a lot of garbage.
Quite often, special trash bins of a retractable nature are installed in the wash niche. They are devices that provide automatic bucket exit when the door is opened. There are both conventional mechanisms and innovative ideas. You can pick up a model that has a separately attached lid, and when the bucket leaves when the door is opened, it will already be with the lid up.And when closing the facade, the lid will again cover the bucket, which will avoid the formation of an unpleasant odor.
Advantages and disadvantages
Built-in bins have both advantages and disadvantages. To begin, consider the main advantages of retractable models, namely:
- the cover opens automatically;
- hygiene and ergonomics;
- functionality;
- ease of use;
- if desired, placement of 2-3 cells, which allows sorting of garbage;
- quick and easy installation;
- in case of breakdown, the retractable mechanism can be quickly repaired independently or replaced with a new one;
- there is no need to wash your hands after each ejection of garbage, as a person does not touch the handle.
Today, models that are mounted in a kitchen cabinet or hung on the module door are in great demand. Of course, the retractable mechanism can only be used in a spacious kitchen.
If you have a small kitchen, then you should use wall mounted models.
When a person opens the cabinet, a semi-automatic mechanism raises the lid.
But among the minuses it is worth noting the high cost. Any modern models that are equipped with opening mechanisms are more expensive than ordinary buckets with lids.
How to choose?
Today, stores offer a wide selection of built-in garbage cans, so it’s worth considering the main selection criteria in more detail.
Dimensions
Since the built-in bucket is located in the nightstand, its dimensions should be optimal. The accessory should fit inside the cabinet without any problems, and the facade should be completely closed.
Volume
This criterion is also one of the main ones when choosing an integrated bin. It is worth considering the number of family members, and how much garbage they throw out daily. Garbage must be taken out at least once a day, only then can the appearance of midges and an unpleasant smell be eliminated.
Since the bucket is located inside the kitchen module, its volume cannot be large. The best option is from 3 to 4 liters.
The form
Today, there are various forms of trash cans, but recessed models usually have a rectangular or triangular shape. Such options occupy a minimum amount of space, providing maximum fullness.
Design
This criterion depends entirely on the wishes of the homeowner, as there are both ordinary models on sale in which you need to lift the lid for use, and automated buckets with a touch sensor, which ensures independent opening of the lid.
Material and color
Usually, when choosing an embedded model, buyers do not pay much attention to color and design, since this accessory is hidden from prying eyes. But nonetheless, It’s worth finding a beautiful option for yourself, so that when you use you can have fun.
As for the material of manufacture, preference should be given to buckets made of high-quality plastic or stainless steel.

Reviews
Built-in bins are becoming increasingly popular. Modern kitchens require that each accessory be in its place, while ensuring maximum comfort and convenience in its operation. Users of models built into the kitchen modules like that the trash can is hidden from prying eyes and also does not take up space in the kitchen. Many are attracted by traveling models, since it is possible to get to the trash can with just one movement, while there is no need to lift the product lid, and your hands remain clean.
However, some buyers do not like that the models attached to the facades of the cabinets cannot be large.
If we consider the garbage cans that are built into the countertop, then they look pretty impressive. Convenience of use attracts users, but the cost of the models is quite high, which not everyone can afford. It should be noted and the complexity of installation. This process should be entrusted to a professional, so as not to spoil the countertop.
