Most people think of trash as dirty and contaminated. It is true that not all trash is dirty, but you generally have enough dirty trash that you want to keep it away from other items, people, and surfaces. That's where garbage bins come in handy.

Garbage bins are more complex than you might imagine, and new varieties are being created all the time. We have a lot to say about them. In fact, we have so much to say that we started this blog.
