Moved from my old house, with a nice Haefele pull out combo trash/compost bin right by the sink, into new digs with no room under the sink to put trash bins, and only one spot that I can convert a door base cab. to a pull out trash bin—and the cab. is too narrow for the Haefele unit.
I’ve found a few possible substitutions, but I can’t track down what kind of hardware to use to build a pull-out shelf, with the door attached, that I can set a trash can on….
Alternatively, 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?
I hate moving…..

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.
#$##%%***electricians!!!!!!Thanks everyone else who chimed in......
......had just forgotten it. Getting old sucks..........

Thanks again to you & the other posters. I'm a happy camper, Lowes carries the Rev-a-shelf pieces I need.....
BTW, see my post on the "euro-hinge mystery".....maybe you can go 2 for 2
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.

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.
I hear you I do the same I figure that the money I get gives me and the missus a dinner out.

There are a lot of places that carry the hardware. Rockler, Woodworker's Supply, Lee Valley, etc.
