What can you do with a trash can in the kitchen when you dont have a place to put it that cant be seen?  I have it sitting out but it looks  ""trashy""  

I dont like it to be on display for anyone that comes in.

I used to have a kitchen cupboard to put it in where it fit and now I dont in the new place. Cupboards have other things in them.

I say just leave it out.  Maybe get one with a flip up cover on it?  I've seen lots of those in nice homes, and they look OK to me.

We have a really nice one, but we also have a closet in our kitchen that it foes in quite nicely. I say if you have to have it out just buy a really nice one with a Flip Lid, so that it closes tightly after each use......We bought ours at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It has a step that you press on and the lid opens, and it closes on its own...

We paid a little bit for it, but totally worth it, as it could stay out and blend right in.....

Mine is built in to the cupboards..like that.I used to have the type that screws on to a cupboard door and reused all my grocery bags for trash..that was also good.

maybe if i get a nice looking one! this one is just a plastic one i have had a while.

or one with the cover  dont have a pantry or closet in the kitchen !

I wouldn't put mine in a cupboard even if I had one handy - I'd be opening and closing that cupboard a hundred times a day. I have a can with a swinging lid that sits at the end of the island near the sink. I might think differently if my kitchen were configured differently where the can did not have a convenient place to sit.

@FlowerBear:   This is at Sam's Club and would very nice in your kitchen:

I have kept my trash cans in the cabinet under the sink, with cleaning supplies under the other side. Even smaller under sink cabinets usually have two doors.

@FlowerBear  We recently moved into a condo and I bought a Simplehuman trash can on Amazon.  It was $99,  I know expensive,  but I cannot see ever needing to replace it.  It has the quiet cover that is hinged to close slowly and quietly, it is stainless steel (fingerprint proof) and it looks lovely in my kitchen nook.   I know it's crazy to get excited about a trash can but I love it and the quality is there.

YEARS AGO......bought a wooden frame (4 pieces and a lid) from QVC that you attach garbage bag to the inside.  Looks great and is strong enough to sit or stand on. Would not know it contained your garbage and has held up beautifully.
