I’ve been developing a trash can product meant to eliminate the use of plastic trash can liners.

The trash can is collapsible and can be used sans liner and fit in a dishwasher for cleaning. Not only is it environmental, but it would save consumers hundreds of dollars in trash bags per year.

Is this something you would consider using? What is your reaction to putting a trash can in the dishwasher (assuming it fits alongside dishes for your regular wash)?

    Bin bags keep the trash contained from the house right up till the point they’re in the back of the bin truck. Loose trash ends up flying everywhere when bins are collected. I wouldn’t want to tip loose rubbish straight into the bin. They help hide smells and stop critters going into bins, too.

    Also, people aren’t going to want bin juice in their dishwasher, good lord.

    I think a collapsible, washable food compost bin (the little countertop ones) would be ok. Potential?
