Not So Trashy: What Size Trash Cans Is Right For You

Not So Trashy: What Size Trash Cans Is Right For You

What do you consider in selecting the trash cans for your home? For a household object that is so important to keeping your home neat and tidy, few people do research before making a purchase. One trash can decision you should definitely give some extra thought: the size.

Size does matter when it comes to trash cans. Figuring out what size trash can your home needs can feel like a math problem. There are a lot of factors you need to consider. Choosing the right sized trash can will help you keep your home cleaner and more organized.


Here are the things when selecting the Trash Can size:

1. What Room Is It For?
Largest trash can mostly be placed in the kitchen, as that is where the most trash is usually created. Smallest trash can mostly be placed in the bathroom because minimal trash is created there. Other trash cans are often placed in bedrooms, garages, or offices, and can be slightly larger.

2. How Many People Live In Your Home?
One of the big factor to be considered is the number of people who live in your home so you will know how much trash you create. A family of six or more is probably going to create more trash than two or three people living together. The more trash you create, the larger the trash can you ultimately want.

3. How Much Space Do You Have?
In a small kitchen, a large trash can takes up valuable floor space and gets in the way. While an under-sink trash can is helpful for reclaiming floor space, it limits how large your trash can is allowed to be. It is important to keep in mind where you want to put your trash can and how much space you have before purchasing it.

Whichever size you fall under most often is the size that will be best for you. Of course, personal preference is a factor that only you can decide on. At the end of the day, you need to pick the trash can that is right for your space and lifestyle.
