My main trash can is under my kitchen sink (which is in cabinet). I always use plastic grocery bags as liners as well.

Mine is in the kitchen next to a tall ktichen cabinet. Believe it or not it's not in the way.

I hate when I go to people's houses and their garbage can is in an open area in the kitchen...sometimes without the top on. I think that's disgusting. Mine is in a pull out cabinet thing in the corner, out of sight and the odor doesn't leave.

Trash compactor under the counter.

Right here. Under the countertop overhang.

Ours' too is under the countertop. It looks like a regular cabinet door, but you open it and the garbage can slides out. HOWEVER it comes off the track A LOT, is next to the stove, not the sink, which entails me flinging pepper stems, muskmelon rinds, chicken skin, etc. across my (hopefully) clean floor OR putting a plastic grocery bag in the other side of the sink and then getting that across without dripping all over my (hopefully) clean floor. I leave it open and out while I'm in the kitchen cooking or cleaning, and inevitably my husband wanders by and closes it. That man can't shut a closet door nor the basement door to save his soul, but for some reason he MUST come past the kitchen and silently shut the wastebasket while my back is turned any time I'm using it.

Mine, too, is under the sink, in a cabinet....very convenient, because the sink area is where most of the trash is produced! I don't like to see a trash can sitting out, unless there's a really "cubby-hole" for it.

I don't have room for one under the sink....so it sits at the end of the stove.....but we empty is at least twice a day and we don't have wet garbage as we compost that.

I have a very small wastebasket under the kitchen sink for little items,
otherwise there is a larger can with lid in the laundry room off the kitchen.

I thought that I was the only one who had an enclosed trash phobia.
