Trash Cans & Compactors

Trash compactors are practical appliances that help reduce the volume of waste, allowing for more efficient disposal. They typically come in freestanding or built-in models and are installed in a designated area, such as the kitchen or utility room. With various styles available, including stainless steel or panel-ready designs, trash compactors can seamlessly blend with the existing decor. They are simple to use, with a compacting mechanism activated by a foot pedal or push-button control. When using a trash compactor, it’s important to consider features such as compaction ratio, bin capacity, and odor control systems to ensure optimal performance.

On the other hand, smart trashcans are innovative solutions that bring convenience and technology into waste management. These intelligent bins are equipped with sensors and automation features, making waste disposal a hands-free and hygienic experience. Smart trashcans can detect motion or proximity, automatically open and close their lids, and even have voice command capabilities. Some models integrate with home automation systems, allowing users to monitor trash levels, receive notifications when it’s time to empty the bin, or even schedule trash pickups. When selecting a smart trashcan, look for features like compatibility with virtual assistants, rechargeable batteries, and easy-to-clean materials to enhance functionality and efficiency in waste management.

Manual Trash Cans

Manual trash cans where the lid must be opened and closed by hand, typically with the use of a foot pedal or a handle are a household staple. These types of trash cans are commonly found in residential and commercial settings and can be made from a variety of materials, such as plastic, metal, or wood.

Electric Sensor

Advancing to an automatic sensor trash can that is operated using a sensor can be a lifesaver in some households. The lid of the trash can is automatically opened and closed when an object, such as a piece of trash or a hand, is detected by the sensor. These types of trash cans are usually found in commercial and high-end residential settings and can be made from a variety of materials, such as plastic, metal, or wood. A hands-free operation, which can be more hygienic, and its convenience make these trash cans a luxury item we didn’t know we needed.

Trash Compactor

Go for a complete upgrade with the Whirlpool trash compactor. This is a household appliance that is used to compress and reduce the volume of garbage. It works by using a hydraulic press to compress the trash in a container, allowing for more waste to fit in the same space. The compacted trash is then held in a removable bin that can be easily emptied. Some models may also feature a built-in deodorizer to help control unpleasant odors.
