Your household will inevitably produce trash, lots of
it, in fact. You can buy all of these
fancy trash cans and waste bins to contain them but face it: trash is
unsightly. You wouldn’t want all of your
household garbage to be constantly within sight of anyone visiting your room or
helping you out in your kitchen.
This solid wood tilt out trash cabinet is the perfect
solution to your trash dilemma. It is
easy to build and can adequately cover the offending bin in a flash. You would need:
2 - 1x12 @ 6 feet long
1 - 1x3 @ 8 feet long
2 - 1x2 @ 8 feet long
Narrow Hinges (the cheapo kind with flat headed
screws)
Knob or Pull
2 inch screws
1 1/4 inch finish nails
2 inch finish nails
1 1/4 inch pocket hole screws
wood glue
wood filler
120 grit sandpaper
primer
wood conditioner
paint
paint brush
Assemble a box out of your wood pieces to fit your
trash can. The bottom shelf should be 2
1/2" from the bottom. On one side
of the box, attach the trim to the top and bottom areas. From the bottom trim, carve out the footers.
This will be the front of your cabinet. Leave the back of your cabinet open to
make it easy for you to clean or change trash cans. Make sure that your inset
door can easily fit into the opening then hinge it to the cabinet. Test it a few times to see that it tilts out
properly. You might want to add a chain
to keep your door from opening all the way.
Place your trash bin inside and position your cabinet
in a corner of the kitchen or in your room.
Now, your unsightly household messes are out of sight and out of mind.
