Wherever humans go, they bring trash. This has been the case since the dawn of time; indeed, archaeologists draw many of their conclusions on cultures of old based on their trash and trash disposal.
Since trash has this pesky habit of being where people are, it follows that there will be occasions where there are people (and their trash) and no trash can. In this Brave New World of no littering, the lack of trash cans can put many people in quite the quandary. What are you to do?When you?re camping, at the game, or anywhere else, you need somewhere to put your burger wrapper, soda can, or spent bag of chips.
First, don?t panic. Sit down and listen because there is hope. It?s called the collapsible trash can and it?s an unfortunately seldom-publicised piece of human ingenuity. Costing less than $20, these are a fantastic addition to your pantry, as they are one of those things that, even when little used, are a lifesaver when they are.
Stansport?s version is listed as a camping supply and it is a good barometer for the niche in general. It holds 110 lbs and collapses into a small carrybag. Don?t be put off by the fact that it?s officially a camping supply, either ? even if you barely ever go into the great outdoors, you can still use it at a sporting event or if you throw a party.
Bell Automotive?s version is similar in everything except one facet ? it has the extra accessory of a Velcro attachment to affix the trashcan to the rug. This transforms it from an outdoor piece of equipment to a versatile indoor/outdoor one. Now, instead of just using it for your outside events, you can bring it inside on Christmas Day, birthdays, and other events that generate trash in your living room ? like game day.
Bell Automotive?s collapsible trash can has the same qualities as the first two, except it also has a Velcro tab to attach it to carpet. This means that it can supplement your waste disposal needs in rooms that don?t usually need it ? think moving day, or the living room on Christmas morning.
