Need multiple trash bins? Have a deep or corner cabinet that’s underutilized? Have we got a find for you.

It may be a little weird to geek out over a trash can setup, and yet that is what’s happening here. This compact, under-the-cabinet three-trash-bin setup is so smart!

I’m just imagining standing over the bins: “And YOU, bottle, go here (plink!), and YOU, food scraps, go here (plop!), and YOU, old newspaper, go here (drop!). Now swing back under the cabinet!” Somebody stop me.

I spotted this design, which consists of three, custom fitted trash bins mounted on a pivot that swings out when you open the cabinet door, at UK companies Magnet Trade and The Bin Company. I’ve seen similar pivot options in the US (like this), but only for smaller, single trash bins, whereas the three-bin model here is really the kicker. The bins fit together like puzzle pieces!

Has anyone found something similar here in the US? I’m still looking, but if you know of something, please share!

What do you think? Pretty cool, no?
