We know what you’re thinking. A good-looking waste basket?
Or maybe: $70 for a waste basket?
To which we say yes, we believe the simple waste bin can be an attractive object and perk up the office (or the bedroom, or the bath). And just as important, the buy-it-once bin, though perhaps slightly spendier than its $25 plastic equivalent, won’t follow its contents to the landfill.
Here are 10 options we like:
Above: The Recycled Steel Trashcan is $28 for the large round version and $30 for the hexagonal version from Puebco. Above: An unusually artful option: The Hand-Marbled Scallop Waste Bin in Ocean Wave is collapsible and made from 100 percent recycled cotton paper; $62 from MY-based Inner Child. (Also available from Anthropologie.) The Blomus Wilo Wood Wastepaper Basket is $57.99 from West Elm. Above: From Japanese co. Yamazaki, the Round Rim Trash Can has a steel body and walnut veneer rim; $70 from West Elm. Above: The Knodd Bin with Lid is a favorite for versatility and price: It’s $29.99 at Ikea. Above: The Classic Kitchen Bin 10.5 Liter is a continual favorite (see Design Sleuth: Gorgeous Garbage, A Pedal Bin from the UK) and works well as an office bin, too. It’s on sale for £18 from Garden Trading. Above: Hay’s Shade Bin is available in four colorways; from $41.20 at Finnish Design Shop. Above: The Threshold Solid Wastebasket in powder-coated steel is $25. Above: From Japanese company Bunbuku, the Metal Trash Bin is available in Ivory from Miscellaneous ($59 for the small size) and in Red from Canoe ($60 for the large). Above: The lightweight Menu Wire Bin is $69.95 from Danehus.
