Transforming your kitchen workflow requires more than just a bucket under the sink; it demands a robust mechanical system that can withstand daily use while keeping your home smelling fresh.
For a flawless installation, always pre-drill pilot holes to protect your cabinet floor from splitting. If your cabinet has a face-frame, ensure you use a spacer or shim to allow the bin to clear the lip. To maintain smooth operation, avoid placing heavy glass or liquid waste at the front edge of the bin, as this can cause the slides to bow over time. Periodically clean the tracks to prevent debris from compromising the ball-bearing mechanism.
High-quality units utilize 304-grade stainless steel or chrome-plated cold-rolled steel to resist the corrosive acidity of organic waste. For the bins themselves, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or injection-molded polypropylene are preferred for their impact resistance and non-porous surfaces. You can find these premium materials in our Chenthrall Dual Bin Kit, which features 1.2mm gauge steel supports.
Must-Haves: Look for a 100lb-rated slide system if you handle heavy recyclables, like those found in the Rev-A-Shelf Double 35 Qt. For smaller spaces, a 4-point floor mount ensures stability, as seen in the Yjhome 40Qt unit.
⚠️ WARNINGS: Avoid units with plastic slide rails, as they degrade quickly under vertical loads. Be wary of "universal" kits that don't specify minimum cabinet opening clearance—usually, you need at least 0.5 to 1 inch of buffer beyond the unit's width to account for hinges.

Measure the "clear opening" of your cabinet, which is the space between the hinges. Most units require an 11 to 15-inch width and a 20-22 inch depth to operate smoothly.
Yes, the 35-quart and 40-quart models are specifically designed to work with standard 13-gallon kitchen trash bags found in most US grocery stores.
Floor-mount units (like the Rev-A-Shelf) screw directly into the base of the cabinet, offering the most stability. Side-mount units attach to the cabinet walls and are better for installations where the cabinet floor is thin or damaged.
