This wiki has been updated 20 times since it was first published in November of 2018. These recessed panel trash bins are ideal for those times you or your patrons don't have a free hand to operate a lid. They also won't require you to get any yucky germs on your skin. Just toss rubbish into the easily-accessible openings and move on. We made sure to chose durable models that can stand up to heavy traffic areas, making them perfect for commercial settings. When users buy our independently chosen editorial choices, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes

December 03, 2018:

Not all areas that need a recessed panel trashcan look the same or collect similar trash. That's why we chose models that are good for every type of property or room that's prone to messes. The Safco Aggregate and 9935BL, for example, have unique designs, proving trash bins don't need to be eyesores. Most of our selections can be used indoors or outdoors, so users don't need to worry about exposing them to the elements.
