   Amen, brother....thanks.
   I knew the name, had just forgotten it. Getting old sucks.Whoever wired my new digs was ex-service or commercial....
   They did the upside down outlet thing, which I can deal with. They used (I've never seen these before, and IMHO they stink!!!) crimps with free spinning caps on all the slices.
   Looks like a wire nut, but isn't.....and of course, all the leads are cut as short as he could.

   Note that you don't HAVE to have the door attached to the sliding shelf. You can leave the door hinged and use a sliding shelf on the bottom, with some sort of wire frame or whatever to hold the cans in place.

   This is what we have -- it's a commercial unit, but I don't know the brand. Just a bottom sliding shelf with two wire frames to hold two fairly normal kitchen trash cans.

   I could use standard slides, on a shelf, with a cutout for a trash can, but where do I find a can with the right lip, as it were?

   That's what I did and then made a sheet metal "can" to fit the size I had to work with. Alternatively, if you found a workable can 1st, you could cut your hole to fit it.

   Actually, two copper cans. One for trash and one for recyclables. Made 'em about 8 years ago and now they're worth more in scrap value than the original material cost. copper p0rn

   Just make you a slide-out from baltic birch, mount it on Accurides and get a trash or waste basked that'll fit, and make a top like this.  Helluva lot cheaper than Remove-a-pocketbook...

   I made a really deep drawer that holds three grocery bags. One for trash, one for recycling, and one for CRV bottles/cans.

   The CRV bag is my petty little rebellion. I refuse to pay the SOB's a CRV. then "donate" the container to the city. I don't really make any money at it, but I pick up $30 - $40 a year at the recycle center.
