2-Pack: Drive Auto Collapsible Car Trash Cans + 40 Bags
Our Take
- Strap it into the backseat (if you want) and put a bag in it
- Comes with 40 bags, but you can also use standard grocery bags
- Won’t leak
- Locks odors in
- Is it Mac-compatible: If you want to throw away your iPhone because Apple Maps just sent you way around your destination and then had you double back, it’ll totally work for that
Your Take
Garbage on Wheels
Garbage bins for my car? That’s not something I need. You know why? Because I already have one.
It’s called…
The whole car!
Oh, wait.
This actually makes me the perfect candidate to buy garbage bins for my car, doesn’t it?
But look, I’m not ashamed of my haphazard disposal–or, more accurately, non-disposal–of trash while driving, and you shouldn’t be either (assuming we’re talking about a slightly cluttered car and not something out of an episode of Hoarders).
Maybe you decided to treat yourself to a candy bar at the grocery store checkout and then ate in on the way home, stashing the wrapper in the door compartment. Or maybe you’re pulling out of the Starbucks drive-thru on an 8-hour road trip and, to free up a cup-holder, you toss an empty fast food cup in the backseat.
There’s nothing wrong with that.
In fact, it’s good. It shows you care more about keeping your attention on the road than daintily disposing of some little piece of garbage. Is this an attempt to make a character flaw into evidence of supreme virtue like people would do on Twitter circa 2019? Maybe. But the point stands, there’s no shame in it.
But here’s the thing: with these Drive Auto Car Trash Cans, you can have an uncluttered car and a simple, zero-thought-required trash disposal system.
You just set one up on the floor of the backseat (or in the backseat itself), strap it in place, put in a bag, and you’re good to go.
Have trash? Just reach back and shove it in without taking your eye off the road. Not only is this thing leakproof, it also locks in odor, so you don’t have to worry about a gnarly mystery smell greeting you every time you get in and get behind the wheel.
In other words, it’s simple and useful. Hence why it gets a rating of 4.6 out of 5 over on Amazon based on close to 1200 reviews. And hence why you should buy one.
Double the Cup
Meh’s Got the Trash Game Covered. We’ve Got the Drinks.
Great job—your car now has a designated trash bag (or two). Big step. Now how about fixing the other crime: fighting over cupholders. These beauties turn one drink slot into two, rotate like they're on a cooking show, and hold everything from gas station coffee to your 44oz emotional support soda. Pair this with the trash can and congratulations: your car is now... shockingly functional.
