iTouchless Fully Automatic Stainless Steel Touchless Trashcan
We love the 100% touch-free sensor operation built into this 13 gallon trashcan. You can even have battery-free operation with an optional AC Adaptor, and the trashcan fits any 13 or 18 gallon trash bags. The lid opens instantly when hand or trash is within 5 inches of its sensor (let's hope it doesn't randomly open when you walk by). This SX model has a new lid opening design for more capacity in less space.

Trash Bag Cinch
This is a great idea. This trash bag cinch keeps trash bags secured to rim of the trash can and also works as an air freshener to freshen the air around the garbage can. The cinch is attached by adhesive to the trash can and then the top of the bag goes into the cinch. The replaceable lemon scented air freshener disk works for 30 days.

The Kitchen Composter - Make Your Own Fertilizer
We're really into composting our un-eaten food and used coffee grounds here at Kitchen Contraptions. You'll instantly feel better, knowing you're not just throwing those scraps into the trash where they'll end up in a landfill. Instead, you can get this composter and start making your own fertilizer.
The NatureMill Pro Composter will get you composting in 3 easy steps:
- Add waste items any time, any day - vegetables, coffee grounds, even dairy, meat, or fish!
- Naturemill does the rest! The upper chamber mixes, heats, and aerates. Compost later transfers to the lower chamber, so you can add fresh items.
- Remove rich compost fertilizer every 2 weeks when the red light comes on

iTouchless Fully Automatic Stainless Steel Touchless Trashcan
Tired of touching a dirty trash can when you have to throw something away, and questioning whether you picked up a new germ or two? iTouchless is the answer to clean throwaways. As your hand or debris enter the zone 6 inches from the infrared sensor on top of the trash can, the lid will automatically slide open. No up or down lid motion means more capacity in less space. The lid will remain open if debris or hand is within the 6 inch range of the infrared sensor. 3 seconds after your hand moves away from the lid it closes automatically.
The Benefits: This 100% touch-free trash can creates a germ free, odor free, automated environment. It keeps your hands clean while you are cooking or playing with your children. It also helps prevent contamination, which reduces the threat of certain illnesses and infections.

iTouchless Hands-Free Infrared Automatic Trash Can
I get very annoyed with all the touchless bathroom sinks and towel dispensers -- I never know whether I should be waving my hands in front of the device or not -- so I'm not sure I'm really excited about having touchless devices around the house. Needless to say, here is a touchless garbage can. You put hand or debris about six inches away from the infrared sensor near the lid and it will open. It closes automatically in three seconds after debris has been released and your hand moves away.

Automatic Kitchen Compost Machine
In my house growing up we put our compost in a jar. Of course it was my chore to take it out to the compost pile, and it was stinky and messy. This seems like a much better way to compost. You can put in up to 5 pounds a day and you get fresh compost every two weeks.
