People often tell me that I keep a well kept, (modest) home. Well folks the secret to my success is continuous up keep and hyper attention to the details.

For example, most people would never think twice about the aesthetics of trash. But I do. Such things nibble at my nerves until I find a solution to my eye sore. Which is why the Suncast Outdoor Trash Hideaway peaked my attention. I find it really silly when people spend precious time and money to make the inside of their home comfortable but leave broken furniture outside and leave their trash all stinky and overflowing in the driveway. Not only does it depreciate the value of your home, but it’s an eyesore for the whole neighborhood. At least that’s my opinion, seems trivial right but like I said it’s all in the”details”…

The Hideaway Trash Container is styled to look attractive for patios and eating areas, the receptacle includes a latching lid to keep waste out of sight. Long lasting taupe resin construction withstands outdoor use and includes a solid bottom panel. It has a 24 gallon capacity but is designed for 30-33 gallon disposable liners.

Basically it looks sharp, clean and classy.

Originally $49.99 but is available for $39.99

If you are like me and would like to spruce up your trash, check out the Suncast Outdoor Trash Hideaway. 

I once scrubbed my former aluminum trash can with a mystery mix of bleach, water and pine sol. That is how O.C.D I am about germs! Even after a thorough rub down and hose off, I still felt that it was infested so I chucked it. Crazy huh? And that trash can cost me 5o bucks.

Now before you go judging me and shaking your head, I had a couple of problems with my former aluminum trash can. It was a an oval shape, which I felt initially looked lovely but ended up being a problem moving forward. Whenever I would empty the trash the shape would make it difficult to lift the plastic bag freely from the can. For example whenever I had stuffed or crammed cardboard items (like cereal boxes) into the trash, when I would go to pull it out the edges in the bag would always get stuck and sometimes would even tear the bag. Truly a pain in the tooshie.

I made a solemn vow that my next trash can would be a simple circle. Which is why the Touchless, Automatic Sensor Trash Can appeals to me so much.

• much easier and more sanitary - the 100% touch-free operation is designed to open and close automatically by infrared sensor
• helps to create a germ-free environment, helps keep your hands clean while cooking and prevents cross contamination
• highly sensitive to prevent accidental opening and features a mechanically superior lid opening mechanism for longer lasting, more durable operation
• fits any standard sized trash bag
• and you can use AC power adapter to save on battery costs
• There is an Open/Close button on the front of the trashcan for manual operation and an On/Off power switch on the back
• also includes a trash bag retainer ring to secure the bag

I seriously think I love this trash can. I can’t think of anything I do not like about it.

Plus it is affordable, Price $ 89.99

Which if you have ever shopped for a decent aluminum trash can, with none of these features is a very reasonable price!
