Yup as long as there is no passenger in need of the space.
Might say you have finally found the function of those "pockets" that nothing seems to fit into.
Wonder who designed the gen7 interior, and if it is more "ergonomic"?

actually, thank you, these kind of gadgets are hard to find

 

Yes exactly! My girl is totally fine with it lol. To me the storages on the console side and center are awkward and this bin definitely gives me more flexibility.

 

I keep a mirco fiber towel in that slot. But being retired, I clean the cars whenever there's any unwanted crap in there. It's so bad, I vacuum them weekly with a little hand held vacuum or the small shop vac in the garage. I had to pick a couple pieces of grass off the drivers floor mat today. Seems a piece must have come loose from my Teva sandal... I'll tell you being retired it tough... LOL

But, that's a good find.

 

I tried finding it on Ikea's website but come up empty - is there a product name for it?

Ikea, is a hour drive from us...

I see the amazon one is 1 gallon, that pretty big.

 

I saw it said it's 1 gallon but looks much smaller. Just the right size for the car.

 

I have rubber floor mats,...I toss the loose trash on the front floor and take it with me when I get out of the car.
no need for a storage bin (if there is a lot I can bring the pail to the car,)

and @Max Capacity ...I am 1 hour 36 minutes out of them at the🇸🇪 Swede lumber yard. (99 miles)....and i have only picked furniture up there for others, ...never bought a thing.

Just when I thought Car and Driver was not worth reading anymore

Gee, I didn't realize keeping trash in the car is a thing. We tend to take our trash with us whenever we stop the car. I guess some areas of the plant don't have trash cans when you enter a public place, like a store or gas station. Are there gas stations that don't have trash cans between the gas pumps... ?

Just think how great the car must smell after sitting in the hot sun,

 

FWIW I have noticed that most lager parking garages don't have anywhere to dump trash, and other places seem to have cut back on the number of receptacles.
In the hope that users will take their trash with them, if they don't see a convenient receptacle?

 

So, I'm not the only one that seems to think there are fewer public trash cans around.

 

head count reduction = receptacle # reduction
or they put covers on the trashcans with those trap doors you have to push open, and get your hand dirty
I have seen people who just dump their junk next to the can, rather than push open the trap door

 

Oh yeah, I understand, the more trash receptacles, the more they have to pay to have emptied. So if they can make it more difficult to place your trash in our containers, we save money.

FWIW, last week we stayed at a hotel on Cape Cod, MA. When we went to the entrance of the bldg. where our room was, the trash bin was full, this was Tuesday about 4PM, next morning it was empty, after our day, when we returned, it was near full again.

I can see where keeping the ones at gas pumps full would discourage people from putting their trash in there. I have thought about that while pumping gas... I guess that's a sad statement of my thought process... LOL

 

Having previously run cleanup efforts in Portland's natural areas on Earth Day, I can assure you that a small segment of society just uses public areas for their trash disposal - so removing the containers does little to change their behavior.

One good thing I learned from doing it for several years though: The trailhead parking lots were generally much more clear of illegally dumped trash. This told me that others who were there for recreation, not illegal dumping, were picking it up and taking it home to dispose of it themselves.

 

What do you guys use the bins at the bottom of the doors for? The part behind the bottle shaped section?

 

Spare napkins from takeout. A tube of sunscreen because I always forget it. One of those small tissue packs. The straps for my kayak. Extra USB cord. It's not the best size and shape to put things, but some stuff does fit.

 

it’s my wife’s car and she uses that space for whatever she wants 😁

i will say gen 6 has about the least useful storage spaces i’ve ever seen and to make it better it looks like they had to morph the whole thing into an SUV
I bet the ads will tell us about the "spacious SUV interior storage areas" 😆

 

Supposedly Ikea will start offering some products at Best Buy.

But there are other trash cans you can get from Amazon.

 

No. Get a car can. It’s held by straps on the passenger seat headrest. Hangs in back of the seat. Super easy access for the driver. And not in the way of a rear seat passenger.

 

When I used to drive longer distances, I kept a small wastepaper basket-Sterilite type container behind the passenger seat, move seat back to keep the container from tipping, and done. Was easy for me to reach back and deposit what I wanted to throw away.

 

I went cheap. I put one handle of a plastic shopping bag over the gear shift lever and let it hang on the passenger side. When it's about 2/3 full I just take the bag out & toss it and put in a new bag.
