How many liters should there be a trash can in the kitchen
For many decades now, no kitchen can do without a special container for food and other household waste. Such a well-known accessory as a trash can is mandatory in any premises for cooking, regardless of where they are located: in a cramped city apartment, a spacious country cottage or a huge restaurant complex.
In this article we will talk about one of the most important criteria for choosing a garbage container – its capacity. We will focus the reader's attention on the optimal option for a classic kitchen – a hinged trash can, which our profile website offers to buy at the manufacturer's price.
How to choose the right liter of garbage buckets?
When deciding on the model of a trash can, you should definitely take into account its capacity. To do this , several points should be taken into account:
- Type of kitchen. If it is located in a cafe or other catering establishment with high attendance, which involves cooking dishes in large quantities, you should choose a garbage container designed for about 40-50 liters. If this is the kitchen of a residential building or apartment, it is clear that such a huge bucket will not be needed for it.
- The area of the kitchen and the amount of furniture in it. It is important that the trash bucket does not clutter up the space of the kitchen interior, does not become an obstacle in the passage. The more spacious and free the kitchen, the more you can afford a larger trash can. A compromise solution is hidden garbage buckets – they are installed inside a sink or other kitchen cabinet
- The amount of garbage itself. It depends on the area of residence and the nature of the tenants' meals. For example, people living in rural areas prepare dishes mainly from natural products. They will have clearly fewer empty boxes, bags and bottles of dairy products, factory-made juices, etc. in the trash.
- The number of residents of the house (apartment). According to the results of research conducted by specialists, one person "produces" 4-5 liters of garbage on average per day. This means that for families with 3 or more children, it is worth choosing garbage buckets with a capacity of at least 20 liters, and for families with a large composition, garbage collectors with a volume of 30 to 40 liters, no less, are suitable.
The range of garbage buckets presented in the modern sale is extremely wide. It includes models with a capacity from 3 to 45 liters.
For the kitchen of an ordinary city apartment or a private house in which a married couple or a family of 3-4 people lives, a trash can designed for 12-16 liters will be a suitable solution.
