I made a waste and recycling bin cabinet for the kitchen to keep the mess out of sight and also have a larger bin for recycling. Our old recycling bin next to our tash was a small 10 gallon bin that needed to be emptied every two days. The 13 gallons is definitely a needed upgrade. (ignore the tater tot in the photo)
Experience in building
The “butcher block” top was made with two 12″ pine stair treads that were edge glued to make the full 24″ depth and then I added another 2″ pine at the back for a total of about 26 inches. I’ve always thought about this method and I was finally able to put it into practice. This way, I saved $300 by not buying a real butcher block.
The drawer slides were concealed under-mount slides that had a little bit of a learning curve but once I understood it, they really were easier than conventional slides. All the you tubers are right, I can’t go back to regular slides now.
