◉ Why this trash can

Five reasons it's only $30.

No plastic shell, no shipping container, no "curated experience." Just one bent rod that quietly makes every other trash can in your kitchen look dumb.

01

Literally one bent rod.

25 feet of 8 mm 304 stainless, bent on a mandrel into the signature silhouette. Zero hardware, zero assembly, zero parts that can fall off or wear out.

02

The bag IS the can.

Drop any standard 13-gal drawstring kitchen bag through the top ring. Cinch it over. The rod holds it open, the bag does the work. 90% air, 10% stainless.

03

Folds flat in ten seconds.

Three stainless pivot sleeves collapse the frame to 1-inch thick. Stashes under the sink, fits in a moving box, travels in a carry-on if you're weird enough to bring a trash can camping.

04

Honest metal, on purpose.

Four pastel powder-coats if you want it to blend in, plus a bare brushed 304 option if you want it to look like what it is. Stainless doesn't rust, inside or out.

05

$30. Really.

One rod, one bender, two people, one shop. No factory line, no offshore logistics, no trunk full of hardware. Drop 01 runs to 3,500 units with a stamped serial. When it's gone, it's gone.

◉ Common questions

Trashique, explained.

Does it fit a standard kitchen bag?
Yes — the top ring is sized exactly to standard US 13-gallon drawstring kitchen bags. Drop the bag through the ring, pull the drawstring tight over the rod, done. When it's full, cinch, lift, tie, replace. Same thirty-second motion you already know.
But the bag is visible. I hate seeing trash bags.
Yes, the bag is part of the design. That's the trade — bent-rod makes it honest, light, portable, and cheap. If hiding the bag is a dealbreaker, a solid-wall can from our friends at simplehuman will serve you better. Trashique shows the bag, but elegantly.
What about smells or bugs?
The bag is closed on all sides except the top — same as in any kitchen can. The open frame actually helps because nothing gets trapped in a hidden cavity. Change the bag on your normal schedule and the rod doesn't factor in.
How durable is the powder-coat finish?
Chip-resistant, UV-stable, and rust-proof (stainless underneath regardless). If you want maximum longevity, choose the bare brushed-stainless variant — no coating to wear, and 304 stainless is food-grade and doesn't corrode. Both options are dishwasher-safe at 60°C.
What if it arrives bent out of shape?
Shipping is flat-pack in a large kraft mailer — you unfold it and the pivot points snap into place. If any rod is out of spec, photo it within 48 hours and we'll overnight a replacement. We don't ask for the bad one back.
Does it actually fold flat?
Yes — three stainless pivot sleeves allow the frame to collapse to 1-inch thick in about ten seconds. Great for apartments, dorms, RVs, moves, or kitchens that already have an overflow can and don't need a second permanent one.
Will there be more colorways later?
Maybe. Drop 01 ships in rose, cream, sky, mint, and bare stainless. If a future drop reissues Trashique (no guarantee), we might add new pastels. The current five are Drop 01 forever.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — UK, EU, Canada, Mexico, AU, NZ, and Japan. The flat-pack envelope keeps international shipping cheap. Duties and taxes collected at checkout so nothing surprises you. Other countries by request; contact us.
