Wanted something different than traditional black or stainless steel trash cans. Needed a large trash can that was rectangular and functional but still complemented the kitchen without being an eyesore. I have a waterfall island and I opted out of doing a hidden cabinet trash can because to me it is annoying having to open a cabinet every time to throw away something and then you have to change it frequently to avoid odors and also because cabinet trash bins are generally smaller, not the 13 gallon size.Very functional, durable and stylish. The white was something I typically wouldn’t go for but it matched my aesthetic perfectly.
