I’m Mad About The Thrash Can!
Can’t say that I ever thought I’d find myself blogging about a trash can. Gadgets? Yes. Desks? Yes. Laptop Computers? Yes. Coffee? Hell to the Yes. But trash cans? What’s up with that? I honestly couldn’t help myself, though, as unexpected as it was - I fell hard for this guy. No, he’s not what I was looking for - he’s more.
Okay, first of all, it isn’t just a trash can. It’s actually a Thrash Can. Created by a Chicago design firm intent on producing goods with a low environmental impact, the Thrash Can is composed of 99% reclaimed automobile tires. How freakin’ clever is that? It’s built to last and to withstand any abuse thrown it’s way.
Plus, further prove that it was designed by a brainiac: Its smart design features incorporated top handles and a size perfect for re-using grocery bags as can liners.

I LOVE this blog!
I’ve been reading it for over a year.
I tied it via an RSS feed to a website I built!
(Well, it’s a lens, really. Not an independent website…)
It prits every day here:

Just trying to spread your gospel!
Jefferson - Thanks for spreading the word and Thanks Thanks for reading our blog. We appreciate both greatly! - Joi
Joi,
Carl from Normal Design here. We’re the ‘brainiacs’ who designed the ThrashCan. Glad we could make you so happy!
But I will point out, the pic you have shows the bar inserted wrong. If it were ’stitched’ in from the inside, it looks much cleaner.
Have a look at some better pics on our site:
