Kitchen In New Residential Construction- 2008

 

  

 
 

Finished Kitchen - 2008:

Base Cabinet Trash/Recycle Pullout:

Base cabinet accessories are expected in today's custom kitchens and can be quite pricey and one of the most requested is a trash/recycle center pullout, which generally starts north of $200.

With plywood leftovers, a couple of lidded trash containers of the appropriate size, and a pair of full extension, over-travel drawer slides, and you can custom make one for way less than retail.

A simple rabbeted frame of 3" wide 1/2" baltic birch plywood is used for the base and one of the containers is used to make a routing template for the top of the frame.

A router template guide was used in the router base to route the hole smaller than the very top dimension of the container.

A bit of cleanup and assembly results in:

The simple trash container pullout above used SteriLite 20 Qt containers ($7.99 each) available at many shopping mall stores, and, with the drawer slides, cost less than $50 and a couple of hours shop time from start to finish ... and there is nothing to keep you from getting as fancy as you desire.
