Design is Best with Stomping
I said that and I’ll say it again. Stomping. Design is best with stomping. If you have to stomp to make the device work, then it’s good. Unless it’s a television. This is what you throw the tiny broken tv into. Then you stomp it. With the ironically titled “Armstrong Bin” compression dustbin, you can compact your trash and get a total thumbs up from the earth that the garbage is inevitably going to fill up!
Kidding! The title is actually very clever with the concept. It’s Armstrong like Neil Armstrong, aka the first man to stomp on the moon. The Armstrong dust bin aims to be the first cleverly named step in reducing the space taken by the garbage we just do not stop making!
Stomp it. Stomp it and KILL it.

so when you compress the bin, all those lovely bin juice smells just get pumped out into your kitchen…..lovely.
Carl says
agree with bizzle. infact you are doing in your kitchen what the disposal truck does, thus allowing you to trash more waste into your bins. would a better solution to be to not bin as much?
zara says
Nice. Creative work.
J Dizzle says
And how do you propose to keep all the smashed up trashy bits out of the corrugations?
I’ll leave the crushing to the compactors and trash trucks, thanks.
I really wish this site would reward solutions to actual problems rather than adverstise every silly thing that a first year ID student dreams up. I’m loosing my interest in coming here.
Henrique Staino says
I couldn’t agree more with you.
And what about the shape of the inner surfaces of the bin? How the hell do you clean that?
Armin says
It’s nice ‘cuz you dont have to take out the trash as often.
I was thinking of the corrugations too, a circular transformation would’ve been better (think nuts & bolts).
Also, I suppose the rendering lacks a bag, which would keep the corrugations clean (if it wasn’t caught up in there).
Carl says
dont you think a bag might split when you are crushing things inside it??
Andy H says
God forbid you put anything liquid or near liquid in there.
Sure you could stomp it, but you’d have to spend the next hour cleaning old salsa off the wall across the room!
Andres H says
First of all, your comments only valid IF you can even compact the damn trash, to begin with… I don’t only trash paper… And yeah, don’t they already do that on the trucks?
It was a creative idea, I admit, really stupid, but creative.
john says
i could use this rubbish bin every day at home
Carl says
you home must smell
Esmond says
I must agree. This just isn’t practical enough. Its a nice idea but a lot of aspects haven’t been thought through.
Cathy says

juegos says
