trash can ideas?

Here is the link http://www.trashsack.com. Price is decent. Best garbage can we've had...

Do you buy their bags or use something less expensive?

They went out of stock on their bags (which may be in stock again), so I switched to a regular kitchen bag and that works really well. There are clips inside that hold the bags up, so I would recommend saving money and getting different bags than what they sell.

I plan to copy this idea:

I never posted about this trash can as it actually hasn't worked out as well as I would have liked. The lid is loose and comes off to easily, and the strange part is the flip top is so light that the swirling wind created when driving actually opens up the lid and allows light loose garbage (like paper napkins) to get sucked out too! I MAY try adding a weight to the bottom of the lid....or just find a different one! I did have to make some mods to it to make it fit...namely just putting a spacer block on the back.....see below:

That still fits better than any can I have seen or tried from a size and shape perspective. I did some searching and found it at Target. Is that the 10L http://www.target.com/p/curver-mistral-10l-pivot-lid-trash-can/-/A-50385238 or the 25L http://www.target.com/p/curver-mistral-25l-pivot-lid-trash-can/-/A-50385245 ?

Nothing is going to fit that space perfectly so I am willing to do mods. I think the color actually matches the gray interior of my boat fairly well if I don't decide to wrap it. My plan is to modify the top so it stays on, add a magnet setup to the flip lid so it resits opening too easy, and of course the space mod. I think the sad part is how excited I am about a trash can.

@Mainah ... keep it simple.

Yup....got it at Target...

@Julian have you thought about making the flap part of the lid not open and making a round hole in the lid and putting a bottomless cup holder in it like the other guy did in a post above. That way no matter if you are driving the trash should stay put right ?

Interesting idea....the issue is the lid is really flimsy...plus I like being able to easily throw out a large paper plate-for example. I don't think it will take much weight to prevent the top from being suctioned up....I'll post what I end up doing. I'd love to do the above and mount the can under the ceiling of the changing room with a hole in the top of the dash area...that is what I think would be the perfect/best use of space!

 

[jcyamahariders wife]

Yeah I didn't think about the plate issue - just cans ! LOL go figure !

We just roll up the paper plates and they fit right in.

Do you have the specs on that trash can? It does look like a perfect fit

Sorry for the very long delay, but here is a link to the trash can I used: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-7.5-Gallon-Touch-Top-Wastebasket-Black/21930751.
Funny all of the reviews are terrible because the top fails, I pitched it as soon as I bought the can!

The idea of cup holder as trash can access looks fantastic. How did you remove the cup holder to cut it? Are they glued in place? Tapped?

I'm looking forward to implementing this very good idea.

I have a 2107 AR210. My cup holders have a trim ring covering the screw holes. You just twist the trim ring an 1/8" turn and it comes off. Then you can access the screws that hold the cup holder in place.

I hope that helps!

 

[Beachbummer]

Thanks. I have a sx230. I will feel around when i get to it and see if it's the same. Much appreciated.

 

[Wake Turbulence]

This is what we use on our SX190

@Beachbummer my cup holders had an adhesive under the lip of the cup holder. I used acetone to soften the adhesive, then gently tapped the cup holder from the bottom up. I think I also used a putty knife to gently pry from the top. After I got the cup holder out I removed all of the glue, then cut the bottom off with a hack saw. Also filed the cut edges so no one gets cut. I can't remember if I re-glued it back in or not, it was a really tight fit as I recall.

 

[Beachbummer]

Great, thanks for the tip!

I have an extra Kingsford Caddy that I plan to test as a trash can. It has a small door on top that seals fairly tight. I should be able to use a standard trash bag as well.

I use a carabiner and attach a bag to the windshield support post. Works just fine.
