Ten Creative Garbage Bin Concepts And Designs
Is cleanliness really next to godliness? I dunno about you but I feel we have more messed up brains than trashy trashcans around the bend! Anyways, here’s a look at some really unusual and freaky concepts and designs that make the garbage bin a prized possession.
10) Crevasse Prep Sink by Anne Kitzmiller
A classy kitchen sink with an integrated garbage disposal is like HEAVEN! Sophisticated and uber-chic, this sink-disposal system was designed with the collaborative efforts of Kohler. The sink uses Active Touch technology to function; the rinse cycle is indicated by a constant blue glow and the synchronized garbage disposal cycle is indicated by a flashing blue glow.
9) Table of Trash by Marie-Louise Gustafsson
How about sweeping the trash off the table and straight into the bin?
8 ) BIN Concept by Faris Elmasu
An 18 liter trash can that incorporates a motorized sweeper into its system, convenient! The sweeper tucks into the front of the trash can when not in use, thereby charging as well. Looks neat functions well, what more can you expect out of a garbage bin!
Forget the hazards of a tapering mouth for a bin, these Bongsudae (Korean smoke alarm towers) inspired beauties deserve a place on the pedestal and not some dusty corner of a room.
Not much on the design aspect but the Flexibin scores high on application. Invert a discarded grocery bag around it and the bin is ready to be used!
I still have to figure out why I would need to freeze my garbage, but for Cem’s sake I’m willing to try.
4) Armstrong Bin by Sukwon Park & Sungwoo Park
Let’s kill the garbage even if its dead! Stomp it, and stomp it good.
3) Barcode Trashcan by Woo Seok Park
This one is a really amazing concept that allows you to be eco-conscious to the T. In case you don’t know which recycle bin your waste item goes to, just swipe its barcode across the scanner and the correct bin opens up. Cool cool style!
2) GreenHouse Effect by Orcadesign
From the collection of 10 items in it’s the list, the integrated dustbin concept is by far the best. A trapdoor design conceals the bin till you don’t require it. Moreover the clever idea of using discarded plastic bags to hold the trash is super!
1) Condom Ashtray by Jiang Qian
Clever, cheeky, whatever, this is the temptress of them all…..need I say more?

The freezer garbage allows you to make sure it doesn’t stink up the kitchen (or wherever your garnage can is). So it’s pretty ingenious!
Not to mention if you have some particular items (left overs, etc) that the food thrown away doesnt get moldy until you take it out!

I like the Minus by Cem. Freeze trash – brilliant! How great not to have the food trash stinking up the kitchen. Especially here in the south where just the thought of tossing out even a banana peel will draw fruit flies.
Henrique Staino says
The Minus is probably the worst concept of this list.
Urban Gardens says
love the Flexibin! For outdoors, consider placing a recycled plastic bag inside a garden pot, then bring the bag in to empty.
robb says
such a brilliant design.
wish they could get out of drawing board to production.
Graphic Design says
Stunning work – beautiful collection Thanks for the inspiration!
Adolf says
Cool! Thanks a lot!

The Armstrong Bin would make a mess dont you think!
You’d never get the bits of garbage (once compressed) out of those grooves :-\
….And If you had a garbage bag in it, it wouldnt make a difference either cause the bag would rip open and you’d have the same result!!
But i like the idea (that’s basically taken from a trash compactor).

I would like to volunteer that the flexibin is in fact rather high on the design aspect, at least in its conceptual implications. A product does not need to be physically substantial to be well designed. A well-designed product reaches beyond its own physical form to incorporate the environment in which it is used. I find that the thought put into it is rather interesting and compelling, as it enables what is normally a common waste product (plastic supermarket bags) to become a way of dealing with trash. In the words of Dieter Reims, "Good design is as little design as possible."
