Crazy or Feasible? Trash Pull-Outs Under Sink???

We are renovating a small, galley kitchen. Originally I wanted a 15" or 18" trash pullout next to the sink cabinet, but then I realized I didn't want to "tie up" so much space for trash and soaps (the pullout and the area under in the cabinet under the sink.)

My cabinet maker said he could make at least one, and maybe two, small trash/recycle pullouts in the sink cabinet (one on each side of the plumbing?) I know they can't be large, but since we live in a condo, we have a dumpster nearby, so I don't need tall waste baskets there. I want a single sink anyway, so the pipes would be in the middle of the cabinet and then, hopefully, there would be room for a pullout on each side of it.

Has anyone seen or done this in their kitchen? I imagine that I wouldn't be able to have a very deep sink or a garbage disposal. Is this idea feasible, or should I give up on this idea? If it is do-able, what size cabinet and baskets do you think would work?
