Clean and Stylish Kitchen Garbage Cans

Keep your kitchen looking clean and organized by concealing your kitchen garbage cans.

A great way to make your garbage more functional is to have it on slides that will allow it to pull in and out; this will make it easier to get at and clean up after. While you are making space to tuck away your garbage can don’t forget about a spot for your recycling and compost too! These environmentally friendly additions to the garbage family are becoming increasingly popular and important. However they can really start to take up a lot of space especially in small kitchens where storage is limited. If your cramped for space keep a smaller container for these items tucked away in the kitchen for when you are cooking and cleaning while leaving the larger size one in a garage or mud room where there is more space.
