As I shop for bins online, it would be helpful to know the size requirements of what I can fit.

1. What are the ideal length and width?

2. What's the tallest I can fit so that there is some clearance under the top low Maximera drawer?

ive come across these:

11x11x20" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005QNOFES/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WcTHybPYF6Z6Q

The internal dimensions of the lower drawer: 10-1/4" x 19-3/4" and 21" under the top drawer.

10-1/4" is the narrowest bottom part (the sides of the drawer are angled), from rail to rail it is 11-3/4". See the drawing

Thanks so much @tigrangrig! super helpful. That is super small. To get 2 evenly size containers, and maximize space, I need to go for 11"x9.5"x20" (WxDxH).

And how do you plan to fit two 11x9.5 bin in 19.75x10.25 "cavity"?

You said that the top, above the slope between the rails is 11 3/4". My thought was to have them seated above the slope on some type of platform like someone indicated above they built

You will need to make that platform min 2.5" high, which will cut the max height to 18.5". So your 20" high bin will not fit

@TC, if you are able to find something that fits, please come back and post a link. I'd still be interested in something that would fit as designed instead of our hacked bins. Hopefully your searching skills are better than mine and you can find this unicorn garbage bin! :-)

For me having the two decent sized bins in the same cabinet and not under the sink is a requirement. For now, our solution is working pretty well.

See this thread for a bin solution for the 15" wide trash/recycle pullout. It's not standard kitchen waste bin height, but it might work for you.

@benjesbride thanks for the pointer. That person's top drawer is set so low whereas mine isn't. So using the cans he is, id be losing opportunity for probably 3-4" taller cans.

Thanks @Lisa for the link to those slimmer cans. Done and done on my 15" Sektion pull-out (Installing in two weeks)!

Seems I'm a bit late to the game. @A G, how are the 2 slim Rev-A-Shelf bins working out? Did they end up fitting nice and snug? We're in an exactly same position as you are. Thks!

@Nomad - At the last min, I ended up switching to an 18", and of course the variera 10 gallon bins work perfectly. :-)

@T C what did you end up doing?! I'm in the same predicament!

12" square x 30" tall?

I’m looking for bins to fit mine too! Anyone find any?

Jenn, search "Ikea trash pullout" on the forum. I posted a solution at very last comment. Been a year and works great. A bit of diy required tho. (Btw, I just put the lids underneath the bins, and it helps them keep pretty stable)

Thank you for posting this. I have the same issue. Only a 15 inch wide would fit my Space.

Ive searched for hours for plastic can that is 13 gallons that 2 will fit.

Closest is Witt Industries 13R Plastic 13-Gallon Rigid Waste Liner, Square, 11" Width x 11" Depth x 20" Height, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005QNOFES/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cPE4Bb14HQVZS

but thats $120 for 2 plastic trash cans!!

I think I am going to try making it out of wood like the poster above did. But instead of just one, will make it to hold 2 liners - 1 for recycling and 1 for trash.

@Miss TKO 2015

Did you use 1x2 (or 3) upright on the sides to then nail the thin luan to? Or how did you connect the sides and front and back to each other?

This +/-30 gallon can looks like it will fit exactly into the bottom of the 15" drawer (width), and the length is a little short, but I'm going to order it and see how it fits.

https://www.build.com/hardware-resources-can-50/s1058664?uid=2558445

That link takes me to a single can that is 13 gallon.

I think these are the perfect fit!

I tried the simple human trash cans from the above post. They work OK. There is a three inch gap side-to-side (When you center them it is 1.5 inches on each side which looks OK... in the photo below I pushed it all the way to one side to show how much total extra room there is). I used two black ones (the blue one is smaller). With two black ones there is still a two inch gap at the back. (It might be possible to fit one black one and two blue ones... not sure.) If someone else wants to go this route, they can be bought from the simple human website by clicking on "support -> product support -> trash cans" and clicking through to find the replacement parts for the 35 liter pull out trash can.

How much are simple human bins height?

I ended up ordering two of these from Amazon Warehouse deals (they were priced about 60% off).

Witt Industries 13R Plastic 13-Gallon Rigid Waste Liner, Square, 11" Width x 11" Depth x 20" Height, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005QNOFES/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TAcHDb3D23QJK

The bottoms have more than plenty of space in the ikea akurn (old line) drawer. However the shape flares out as you go from bottom to top.

For now, I have 1 sitting on a box to raise the lip and the other tilted backwards. They then fit without having to cut the lip off or having to get longer drawer hardware (from blum)

and make a new drawer. Appears drawer inside dims needs to be about 21-22 long for them to fit flush. I do have a drawer above and they just barely fit under it.

I solved it. target $9 trash cans with a lid and cut off the top ring and just the sides of the flip top (I left mine off the recyclable

7.5 gallon they fit good I taped the back one so they stay up right better but they work great and the cheapest option out there

Closes with the lid on

I used these Salice bins.

I ditched my original idea and just have one larger can just for trash. the other ones were too small.

Omg @jackiedaytona, this was me a few weeks ago! Glad someone figured out the formula lol. And great LOTR quote too. Hubby and I had a good laugh.

Yes @jackiedaytona !!! I have been looking for a solution for weeks now. My fiancé will be so happy to have a hidden garbage and recycling next to our new dishwasher (new dishwasher means little kitchen reno which means new cabinet with concealed garbage was a must) Thank you!

6-month update and improvement: simplehuman PD5017 bins are perfect, couldn't be happier. They can scoot a bit as the drawer is opened and closed, so I added a couple MAXIMERA dividers (702.784.00) to keep them in place. I know there are mixed reviews with the dividers in general, but mine haven't budged and hold the bins perfectly, even when fully loaded. The UTRUSTA popper motor and drawer lighting really bring the bling to the bin. 🎵 Bling to the bin! Bling to the bin! 🎵

To follow up, the 2 - 13 gallon black trash cans I bought from Amazon have worked out nicely. I love how they Fit perfectly and make the door front “sturdy” compared to how it previously felt kinda flimsy.

I use regular 13 gallon trash bags. If I can find ones that are made for square shaped I might try them Just to see If any difference.

Recently, bought the electric opener to add to my trash can cabinet, but still need to install.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005QNOFES/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TAcHDb3D23QJK

@jackiedaytona

any chance you can take a few pics of how you installed the opener?

I havent yet installed mine as it was missing the directions and what I think is the alignment guide.

Thanks! This is great.. I've was the original starter of this thread and been watching this thread for literally years, and your solution looks way better because it gives the extra height on each can that is great for garbage capacity.

I had trouble finding the bucket/can on amazon, but found it for $24.95 direct from Simple Human:

https://www.simplehuman.com/collections/butterfly-step-can-30l-plastic-lid-product-support

If you sign up for their mailing list (temporarily) they'll give you a 15% off coupon too.

can you do me a favor an measure the exact EXTERIOR dimensions of one of the containers? I want to use one of them only, with an existing compost bin and don't want our compost bin this large for obvious reasons.

SimpleHuman chat support team is really responsive

Dimensions for the 30L are 9"W x 11.5" D x 21"H

https://www.simplehuman.com/collections/butterfly-step-can-30l-plastic-lid-product-support

Ultimately we chose to use the PD6151 (24L blue recycle bin) since we already own the 58L dual compartment can it was designed for and are used to the size. The upside is two will easily fit into the cabinet without modifications and have handles for easy removal

@jackiedaytona thank you for this info! Looks like the PD5017 link isn’t working and I can’t seem to find them while google searching.

@A T the PD5017 has been replaced with the PD5018 30L

https://www.simplehuman.com/collections/under-counter-can-pull-out-30l-product-support

@85338 Thanks so much for the quick response!

Thanks so much for this thread. I've lost sleep over this. I know what to buy now. Thanks jackiedaytona!

I have older Ikea cabinets (akurum) and my pullout on my 15" cabinet has bothered me for a long time. I have one can in there that doesn't fit right and isn't big enough. I'd love 2 cans. I cannot find anything. Most are too short/small. The dimensions I can have are 11.5" W x 19.5 D x 27 H.

Thanks

@85338 Does the PD5018 30L have the same dimensions as the PD5017? In other words, will it fit in a 15" wide SEKTION cabinet?

Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on buying it for the same pull out cabinet listed in the original post.

I wound up making my own. Works great, was cheap and easy. The bags come out easy when full unlike when stuck in individual containers.

Do you happen to have a plan on how you put that together and the dimensions? And are you finding the bags falling in without a middle divider?

No, I just measured, cut the wood and screwed it together. I only used 9 pieces of wood. 4 sides to the box, and 5 supports: one at the top front and back and one in the middle, front and back at the bottom.

I originally had a divider but it was next to impossible to get the bags out if they were even close to full.

I use clips to hold the bags in place and it isn't a problem. I use the kind to keep bags of snacks closed (in metal), but binder clips would work too.

If measuring, keep in mind the bottom slopes in so you have to take that into account. The top of the grey metal pieces are a different width than the bottom of the pull out.

For those folks who've found themselves here looking for a garbage drawer which fits a 12 inch Ikea undercounter drawer, or the void left by a trash compactor, these tall and slim 'Home Zone' dual compartment plastic bins fit for us. No need to cut down, just align them sideways. We use the smaller blue for trash and the larger black for recycling. The steel outer we use separately for garage storage. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RV55RX3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I see a few more requests looking for tall bins that fit 15 wide ikea cabinets.

Can you believe after all this effort, recycling pick up is no longer offered for my address! 😢

ive been using the 2 bins I bought and installed quite awhile back

They are still working out great.

i was going to make something similar to what a few others did but ended up finding these.

Witt Industries 13R Plastic 13-Gallon Rigid Waste Liner, Square, 11" Width x 11" Depth x 20" Height, Black.

got them 1/2 off on AMZ warehouse deal very thick strong commercial use plastic.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005QNOFES/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TAcHDb3D23QJK

AMZ often has them as unavailable in that size, but you can find them elsewhere online

mine did not have any dents/defects. Note that these are commercial grade liners to go inside a metal trash can vs a polished plastic meant to be placed out in your room.

You can see pics in my Akurum ikea 15 inch base if scroll dowm the posts

I have the 1st bin, raised up by about an inch to account for the slight flare at the lip and that makes them fit perfectly using all availble drawer and height space, while still allowing for my shallow drawer.

I should note that I did not install the upper rod of my lower drawer that my trash cans sit in.

I never got around to it and with both cans in, it actually makes that drawer and door fromt super stable - door front doesnt move and is perfectly vertical.

mine are the older line, akurum, with similar but not identical specs.

if needed I can measure further up the trash bins height, for the width I dont believe they flare out any, until the very top where there is a slight flare in where the lip area is, but can double check if needed.

Ok, I spent hours on this and some of these bins from 5 years ago are no longer availble. These fit perfect in the 15x24x30 drawer.
