Looking to find a way to hide recycling bins in your kitchen?! Some of us don’t have enough space in existing cabinets, so here’s a set of DIY plans to build a kitchen recycling/trash cabinet. The plans come with three different designs for the exterior frame, so choose your favorite! The linkage design on the interior allows the lid to be opened with a foot bar, much like a trash can with a foot pedal. Take what could be an eyesore and turn it into a beautiful functioning piece of furniture.
Cabinet Dimensions: 48" x 30" x 27" tall
Interior Dimensions: ~45" x ~24"
Includes: Highly detailed plans on 8.5x11 PDF
- Finished product example photos
- Guide on "how to read an engineering drawing"
- Drawing Set with 3D images/piece sizing and materials list
Difficulty Level: Beginner to Intermediate DIY
The build plans contain three different exterior designs of varying difficulty. They share the same linkage system is straightforward to make and assemble.
