The Collapsible Trash Can

By Cody Scholberg

Sometimes, you?re far away from a trashcan. It happens for a variety of reasons and can?t be helped. Whether you?re in a city with terrorist fears (eg London in the 1990s) or in the countryside on a fishing trip, the last thing you want to be is a litterbug.

This means that situations will arise when you find yourself holding a Coke can or food wrapper without a trash can to be seen. What do you do? Do you litter? Do you put it in your pocket, where it will be forgotten until it goes through your wash, polluting all your clothes? Neither of these are particular hot options.

But there is a solution. The collapsible trash can. Versatile, lightweight, and, most importantly, easy to transport, these are cheap options for your on-the-road trash needs.

Stansport?s version is listed as a camping supply but it is far more versatile than that. It is durable enough to hold 110 lbs but is lightweight enough to easily pack into its included carry bag. It doesn?t just have to be used for camping, either. You can take it to your children?s soccer games, to a barbecue, or any other event that generates trash but has nowhere to put it.

Bell Automotive make a trashcan that is similar in price and quality. Its only difference is that it has a Velcro tab attached to it, which means it can attach to carpet. This makes it invaluable for those situations around the home that require an extra trash can. Christmas day, birthdays, and the indoor side of the party mentioned above ? these are all times when a trash can comes in handy.

Finally, there are a number of collapsible trash cans that feature sports team names emblazoned on them. This is great for game day or a superbowl party, when you want to make your loyalties clear while keeping your wife (who is ever-averse to mess) happy. - 29954
