Bucket selection options
The greater the number of family members, the greater the volume of the garbage bucket should be chosen for furnishing the kitchen . It is necessary to choose a bucket so that it is completely filled in half a day, it does not make sense to choose a smaller or larger size.
The form
Modern industry allows you to make a choice in favor of any design that meets your requirements. If earlier it was a classic version of a regular bucket with a handle, now the choice is very wide - the design can be angular, mounted or separated into a separate closed garbage bin.
Manufacturing material
You can choose both inexpensive plastic containers suitable for any kitchen interior, as well as solid chrome metal constructions that look expensive and stylish and perfectly combined with modern styles of kitchen design.
Functionality
There are many varieties of buckets: with a press, a filling indicator, with a lid that opens without hands or a touch mechanism .
Kinds
The container for garbage collection should be selected in strict accordance with the design and color scheme of the kitchen interior, as well as taking into account the individual needs of your family and the requirements for functionality. Consider what types of trash cans and other new items gadgets for the kitchen can be identified .
Trash can
It is intended for filling with a large amount of waste and has volumetric forms . Hiding such a container in the kitchen or somehow decorating it is very difficult, so the designers attach defiantly bright colors and ergonomic shapes to the trash cans, advantageously complementing the kitchen's interior. They are equipped with a silent mechanism for opening the lid, which is touch (reacts to movement), rotary (opens with a small push) and pedal (requires pressing the foot on the pedal).
Tanks are made of metal alloys, painted in the desired color, or other materials.
Particular attention is paid to the reliability of the kitchen device opening mechanism, as it is under the greatest load.
Special non-slip suckers for the floor are also used to increase tank stability.
Wall-mounted tanks attached to roof rails are very popular, which allows saving a useful kitchen area.
There is also a special function of absorption of unpleasant odors, which is very valuable for very sensitive people.
Litter box
Such a device for storing garbage should have a tight-fitting lid. There are two types of trash storage boxes :
mounted on the wall of the cabinet (usually under the sink);
retractable (moving out with a special system on a special plastic tray when the door is opened).
Other systems for waste management and storage
The need for rational storage of garbage poses the task of kitchen designers to place storage tanks in the most efficient and effective way.
Systems for storing garbage are increasingly replacing traditional bins in favor of new, progressive types of containers. As a rule, such a system consists of several containers and can sort garbage into its various types.
Where to place
Under the sink
Placement under the sink of artificial stone is a classic version used for both standard buckets and metal containers.
The convenience of such an arrangement has been tested over the years, as it favorably uses the free space under the sink of different sizes .
Among the shortcomings can only be called the inconvenience of opening the locker for throwing garbage, compared with separately placed tanks.
On the cabinet door
Fastening on the door behind the wooden facades of the kitchen allows you to save kitchen space and effectively collect waste.
Stand alone tank
A beautifully designed tank, equipped with a pedal or touch-sensitive opening system, fits well into the overall interior of the kitchen. To throw garbage, you only need to press the pedal or even just walk up to it.
The disadvantage is that the tank occupies part of the kitchen's living space and is too visible.
Countertop
Trash cans that are built right into the MDF worktop are very functional, you only need to remove the lid to dispose of the garbage . The disadvantages include the irrational use of the working surface.
Separate kitchen drawer
The use of such a box allows you to collect garbage in one place and does not require special efforts for pushing - this is done automatically.
The disadvantage is a fully closed container for garbage, eliminating ventilation, and the possible occurrence of unpleasant odors inside the kitchen.
How to sort garbage correctly
To efficiently organize garbage in your kitchen, stack organic garbage, glass and plastic parts, and hazardous substances, such as broken thermometers, and separate containers and packages.
The problem of sorting garbage and its subsequent disposal by type is a big problem in Russia because of the unwillingness of the population to sort garbage and the lack of separate garbage cans for different types of waste.
Care
For efficient operation and longer life, it is necessary to properly care for the garbage can.
First, you need to regularly take out the garbage every day and in no case leave it at night to prevent unpleasant odors in the kitchen from stagnation and the appearance of an unpleasant smell.
At least once a week, you need to clean the tank, rinsing it with warm water with a cleaning agent, if we are talking about a regular container, or special napkins when it comes to chrome or plastic parts of the garbage storage system.
To eliminate unpleasant odors, it is necessary not only to regularly take out the garbage, but also to use special carbon filters that absorb unpleasant odors.
