For those of us who are want to be environmentally responsible, a trash can like this is a simple, affordable step we can make with very little effort.
How the Trash Compactor Works
Why didn’t anyone think of this trash compacting idea before? The 10.5 gallon container is constructed from heavy duty stainless steel. Like many traditional trash bins, you step on a foot-pedal to open the lid. But the difference is that inside that lid there is a compacting disc. All you have to do is push down on the lid handle to compact your waste.
Ken Kreafle, CEO of Base Brands who manufactures the compactor says, “The Smash Can is a sanitary solution to the common household problem of pushing down the garbage to make more room. It typically cuts the average homeowners’ garbage output in half. Instead of 4 garbage bags per week, you’ll probably generate only 2 with the Smash Can. Using fewer bags make less trash runs, which saves time, money, and resources.”
No special bags are needed for this trash compacter either. It holds standard trash bags of your choice. There are also no plugs, no batteries, or wires, which is why the product earned an IDEA Silver Design Award. The IDEA (International Design Excellence Award) contest had 1,691 entrants; only 403 of those entrants were awarded a Gold, Silver, or Bronze award. The competition is sponsored by the Industrial Design Society of America and is a prestigious international search for the best new products on the planet.
Can 1 Trash Can Lower Greenhouse Gas?
Changing trash cans may seem like a minor adjustment to make, and it is, but can you imagine the impact if everyone took this step? We could cut the production of household waste in half. How much land would we save in just a few years? How many fewer greenhouse gasses would we emit? How many less trash bags would need produced and purchased?
Sometimes the best ideas really are simple ones.
