What do you think about having a trash can inside of a kitchen cabinet?

Asked by JLeslie (65447points) November 10th, 2019 from iPhone

A lot of fancy kitchens have a cabinet for trash so you don’t have a visible trash can. I am not talking about keeping a small trash under the sink, but rather a specific trash cabinet that pulls out.

The problem with it, in my opinion and others, is if the trash smells or if food hits the inside of the cabinet, it’s not so easy to clean. When I have a trash can inside a cabinet I try hard not to let it get too full, and I’m careful in general, but other people who use your trash aren’t necessarily so careful. A solution could be to have a top on the trash inside the cabinet I guess, but that ruins the convenience of it. It is fabulous having a well placed trash cabinet. You can work on the counter and easily brush scraps into the trash without having to move.

Is a trash can in a cabinet ick to you, or do you think it’s great? If you were designing a kitchen where would you ideally have your trash?
