Get the trash can off your kitchen floor. Bins that live behind a cabinet door and roll out when you open it — fitted into the cabinet you already have, in a spot that suits how you actually cook.
Kitchens get planned down to the outlet placement, and then the trash ends up as a plastic can standing in a walkway. It's the most-used thing in the room and the least thought about.
You walk around it a dozen times a day and kick it about once a week.
The dog has learned what's in it.
Nothing contains the smell, because nothing is meant to.
Recycling lives somewhere else entirely, so it mostly doesn't get separated.
You scrape peelings off the counter, across the room, into a can you have to touch.
Century Components waste units, bench-crafted in Sugarcreek, Ohio, and built to your cabinet opening. Bins are included, lift out, and go in the dishwasher when they need it.
One bin behind a door, for a narrow cabinet or a household that doesn't separate. The simplest version and the one that fits almost anywhere.
Two bins side by side on one frame. Separation happens because it's easy, not because you resolved to do better.
The frame attaches to the back of your existing door, so the bins come out as you open it. One motion, no second handle, nothing to remember.
A solid maple board on its own slide above the bins. Prep on it, sweep the scraps straight down into the waste below — the reason this pairing exists.
Stainless inserts set into the top deck for compost, caps or small recyclables, sitting above the main bins rather than stealing their space.
Built around the trap and disposal instead of pretending they aren't there. Usually shallower bins, but it puts the waste exactly where you're already standing.
The hardware is the easy part. Choosing the cabinet is what decides whether you like it in a year.
One of the quickest jobs we do, and one of the few where choosing the right cabinet takes longer than fitting the unit.
Not where's there a spare cabinet — where do you actually stand when you're cooking. The answer decides the rest.
Opening width and height, what's in the way, and whether the cabinet floor will take the weight of two loaded bins.
Bin capacity matched to your household, and the series chosen — Signature, Cascade or Edge. It's a cabinet you open constantly, so it's worth a look inside.
Made in Ohio to the measurements we took, checked here, then brought to you complete with bins.
Unit anchored, then the brackets set to your existing door so it rolls out square. Usually a couple of hours for a single cabinet.
Tested with weight in the bins, because a full bin swings differently from an empty one and the door alignment has to hold either way.
Every waste pull-out on the market works. The ones people regret are the ones fitted into whichever cabinet happened to be free. If it isn't within a step of where you prep, the old can comes back within a month and now you've got both.
Yes. The unit is built to your cabinet opening and anchored inside it — the cabinet and the door stay exactly as they are. The bins come with it.
The main things we check are that the cabinet is deep enough for a bin to stand upright, and that the floor is solid, because two loaded bins are heavier than people assume.
Double, if the cabinet is wide enough and your town separates recycling. The reason people don't separate isn't principle, it's that the recycling lives in the garage — put both bins behind the same door and it just happens.
Single makes sense in a narrow cabinet, or where recycling genuinely does go straight outside.
The frame is linked by brackets to the back of your existing cabinet door, so pulling the door opens the bins in the same motion. No second handle inside, nothing to reach past.
The alternative is an independent unit that slides on its own while the door opens separately. That suits some cabinets better, particularly where the door doesn't swing far enough clear.
Often, but with shallower bins than a clear cabinet would take. The trap and the disposal eat into the height, and there's usually less room under there than people picture.
It's still a popular spot because it's exactly where you're rinsing and scraping. We'll measure what's actually available before promising a size.
They lift straight out of the frame and go in the dishwasher, which is the part people appreciate most after the first spill.
They're a standard size for the unit, so a replacement can be ordered later without touching the frame.
That's the part worth getting right. Raymond will look at how you use the kitchen and say where it belongs.
