Waste storage solutions are essential to keep your kitchen clean and organized. The kitchen is the hub of your home where everyone gathers for meals or just to connect. But kitchen waste including organics and recycle items can pile up. Storage becomes a problem. You may find yourself with stacks of empty cans, boxes, paper etc., on your counters or under the sink. Whether you have a small or large kitchen space, you will want to maximize your storage.
Waste reduction is challenging whether you are in a single or semi-detached home or apartment/condominium. Making several trips a day to your garbage bins is inconvenient. If you live in a multi-unit building, most likely the garbage bins are on the ground floor. It can be equally challenging to coordinate the separation of trash from recyclables. To help you declutter and find more storage space, here are three easy space saving ideas to help you to enhance your kitchen, declutter, and improve your kitchen work flow.
Recycled Waste: Effective Storage Solutions
Find extra space under your sink. A recycling system under your sink is a must have because it is a universal solution for your everday waste needs. It doesn’t matter if you have a small or large kitchen, these storage systems come in all sizes and prices. Many have built-in handles for easy removal, soft glide, and lids. There are many different brands but Real Solutions for Real Life® offers the best value, features and options.
Innovative Waste Storage Solutions for Utilizing Extra Floor Space
If you have extra floor space in your kitchen, standalone recycling bins are super convenient. Many systems come with motion sensors, are hands-free, and contain two to three openings for recycled items. Larger items may not fit. They are more expensive than under the sink recycling systems. If you have young children, these are not ideal. You would be better off purchasing something that is out of reach.
Ensure garbage is inaccessible
Garbage storage solutions should be tucked away in your kitchen. You can’t get away from having garbage in your kitchen but you can get away from seeing it. A door-mounted garbage can is handy, saves space, and keeps garbage hidden from you, pets, and young children. It’s an ideal storage solution for garbage. It reduces kitchen odors as the cans have lids that open when you pull open the under the sink door and they close when you close the door.
You can easily enhance your kitchen space by investing in a new recycling and waste storage solutions. But before you buy anything, measure your space (width, depth, and height) to make sure you everything fits. It’s also a good idea to buy bin liners or bags to ensure easy care and clean-up. Recycle systems are available through major retailers in store and online.
