Urbano Trash Can
No matter if you've made the switch to reusable totes or not, extraneous plastic bags crop up. The perfect way to handle that situation is with this smart trash can that stores the bags for use as a liner. Winner of the Pratt Product Design Competition, this clever trash can allows you to store and reuse the plastic bags that you collect from shopping in a neat, organized way. Simply loop trash bags around the cut-out sides and push them all the way down, creating a visual of stacked handles all along the side. When you are ready to use one, just move it up to the handles and hook so that it won't fall in on itself.

Please visit this site before you purchase ANYTHING that further utilizes these horrible bags!!!! PLEASE !
They came up witha better solution in Ireland- strarted charging 15 cent for plastic bags. People value them now that they pay for them, most people use their own and they're never scattered anywhere anymore. Much better then this.
Very neat looking waste baskets!! I would love to buy one of these for my office.
Something I want.
That's great Megan except here in America we don't care about such things. It's cheaper to produce the plastic bags. And in most stores it's the only option. I asked for paper bags in three different grocery stores recently and they didn't even have them to offer.
Where were you during the great "paper or plastic" debate? Here in America, we were shamed and forced into abandoning perfectly good, environmentally friendly paper bags in favor of what was then touted as "environmentally preferable" plastic bags.
So plastic bags took over. Trees are a renewable resource, My family owns tree farms, and I know that we are constantly producing trees and selling the timber to paper factories, etc...
Now the smart guys are telling us to stop using plastic.
The lesson is to use your common sense and stop buying into these environmental freaks' propaganda. Most of them have a financial agenda behind their commands, as in multi-millionaire Gore's "global warming," now listed as "climate change," because in fact the climate is cooling, not warming.
