Why is it so easy for our cars' interiors to become trash-strewn disaster areas? Partly it's because we're (wisely) focused on the road. Partly because some people just play by different rules when they're on four wheels — though they'd never think of tossing a candy wrapper on the living room floor, somehow in the car they decide it's okay. But another reason is that cars are head-scratchingly short on places to put refuse. And so it winds up on the floor, between the seats, that spot where you should be able to keep your phone, etc. What we need is a dedicated vessel for our trash and other disposables; something easy to access, easy to clean and inconspicuous. Well, here it is: Fiotok's Leakproof Trash Can with Lid.
This trash can (just $9.49 for two with the on-page coupon) measures 4.72"L x 2.36"W x 3.15"H, which means that you can place it inside your car's cup holder, in the inside of your door panel, or in the pouch on your seat back so the kids will no longer have an excuse to turn the peanut gallery into a pigsty. Also ingenious: its pliable, tri-sectioned lid makes it easy to drop things in while also preventing them from tumbling out, all while keeping your trash out of sight.
But, lest we forget, it's not just for trash: This Fiotok bin is a perfect receptacle for all the coins you inevitably acquire during fast-food, gas stations and toll stops. Just drop that change inside and it'll be there, at the ready, next time you need it.
When 75% of your product reviews are five-star raves, you know you're doing something right.
Here's one typically satisfied testimonial: "I have a small hatchback, a Hyundai Veloster, which has two cup holders between the front seats. However, the holders are joined and anything placed inside that is not a cup, rolls back and forth between the two slots. This product keeps things organized and expands storage vertically by a little bit as well. Very happy with it."
"These mini car trash cans are great!" offered this happy motorist. "I keep one for trash (my friends often like to leave straw wrappers and such in my car) and the other for my coins, which I have plenty of! They are simple and easy, easy to clean, and helped organize my car. Thank you! I would definitely buy again if these ever wear out, which I doubt."
"My new car does not have space for change," explained another. "I wanted a place to drop it quick, not needing to put each coin individually in. This cup fits perfectly in the door cup holder and the lid is soft to push coins in easily and it opens easily."
