Storing your trash can in a cabinet or pantry can lead to health and sanitation issues due to germs, mold, and mildew. It can also be difficult to find a trash can that fits in these spaces and has a sufficient capacity.

It can also take up valuable storage space and be easily forgotten, leading to overflowing trash. It's best to keep your trash can in a visible and easily accessible location.
Chris Rollins attempted to break the land speed record set by Andy Jennings using a modified trash can with a 6.5-horsepower Honda clone engine. Rollins set three goals for himself to improve performance, including being inside the trash with the lid closed, it still functioning as a trashcan, and being the fastest. He constructed a frame for the bottom of the trash can to hold the engine and bigger wheels, applied bicycle brakes that did not stop well, and had two test record attempts where he reached 62 mph, and one nearly fatal crash where he almost broke his neck.
