Trend to Try: A Kitchen Counter Waste Hole
By Kathie Robitz
No one ever said kitchen waste disposal
would be pretty. You are, after all, dealing with garbage. But you can make the
process easier—and more convenient—with the aptly named kitchen waste hole. A
quick and easy way to get rid of food scraps, this feature is usually
incorporated into a butcher-block countertop that’s used for chopping. That
way, the homeowner can just brush any leftover scraps directly into the
opening. According to Denise Grothouse, of The Gothouse Lumber Company, “It creates a food
preparation space that is self-contained, which is especially helpful in a busy
kitchen with multiple cooks.” Bonus: A waste hole is a handy way to collect
scraps for composting. And, in a home that can’t use a garbage disposoer because of a too small septic system,
adding one is a makes a smart alternative.
Why we love them: They eliminate the back and forth steps to a trash can,
because you simply swipe or push messy scraps or crumbs into a built-in
receptacle that’s mounted flush with the countertop. “A stainless-steel bin
that lifts out for emptying or cleaning can easily be incorporated into your
kitchen design,” said Grothouse. However waste holes can also simply empty
directly into an under-counter trashcan. “Designers can also incorporate
stainless-steel compost drawers below the hole,” she added.
How to Use: Grothouse highly recommends emptying a trash receptacle
at least once a day, especially if it contains chicken or seafood scraps, but
she says, “Waste bins integrated into the cabinetry should last longer. The
frequency of emptying the bins can vary based on the items in the garbage and
the climate.”
Most people don't prefer to keep waste bins in their kitchen because of dirty look of waste bins.But this trendy waste bin keeps all your problem away,its really stylished , trendy and collect large amount of waste.
