Garbage is definitely not cool, but chic trash cans will certainly make a space look fresh and clean. With a bit of innovative spirit, even the most unaesthetic cans can be ruffed up and turned into practical garbage disposals. Even if it’s pure trash, home owners will be much more enthusiastic to throw their garbage into a trash caricature or into an odor-eliminating bin. Why should you consider a trivial bin when there are so many other cool options out there? Let us have a closer into some of the trendiest trash cans.

Caricature garbage cans

Timm Schneider is a German street artist who likes to add a bit of style in every item that he creates. One of his best collections is called ‘They Live’, and it’s all about converting trivial bins into funny garbage cans. He mostly likes to turn them into caricatures so as to attract people’s interest and drive them to recycle. The artist has successfully managed to change entirely the aspect of these repulsive items. The Muppets characters are his inspiration, we have to admit that throwing garbage into such funny figures seems much cooler than throwing garbage into a boring, ugly bin.

Cupcake garbage disposal cans

The eco-friendly, fun product is more like a disposable basket made of paper. Created by Domenico Orefice, Riccardo Nannini, and Emanuelle Pizzolorussilan, it was obviously inspired from famous cupcake holders. The idea is pretty brilliant mostly because the paper can feature 50 pleated bags. When one bag is full, it is removed and a new one is ready to be used. Ideal for offices and classrooms, the container is a smart way to recycle paper.

The BigBelly Solar Trash Can

The garbage disposal is certainly an ingenious device. The solar bin has the ability to compact any type of garbage inside, and when it’s full it will send an email to the city hall. The idea behind the technology was to reduce the inside trash with 80%, thus saving space and limiting the number of cans required to keep an area clean. Some of the US cities that use these bins are Chicago and Boston, and it’s a matter of years until the entire US will make use of them.

Trash cans made of gold

For some people, money doesn’t seem to be a problem. Therefore, why have plastic garbage bins, when you can purchase disposals made of pure gold? Sylvie Fleury was the designer who came with the idea of creating such costly items. With prices ranging from $10,000 to $15,000, if you can afford such a bin why not have it? It will certainly give your trash a much more exclusive feel. Primary materials used are plated gold and tin, and you might want to hurry because the artists only made 25 gold trash cans.

Anti-odor trash cans

The idea is pretty ingenious. The trash cans will basically freeze the organic garbage you throw inside, and thus the smell will vanish. The cooling grid has a freezing capacity of -5º you can say good bye to nasty smells. In addition, the bin is germ free due to the UV light at the top that will eliminate bacteria.
