METOTI HLG186-GR-02 Tilt-Out Trash Cabinet, 13-Gallon, Green

For households that want to keep a kitchen trash bin out of sight while adding a little everyday storage, the METOTI HLG186-GR-02 combines a tilt-out cabinet with a drawer and two hooks. Its green, fluted-panel design is intended to work in kitchens, dining areas, laundry rooms, and living spaces, so it can serve as more than a standalone bin cover.

The cabinet is sized for a 13-gallon trash bin, but the bin itself is not included. That matters when comparing the total setup with a basic open trash can.

Usage tips

The tilt-out front hides the bin from view, while the drawer gives you a place for small household items such as trash bags. The top can also be used for items such as a coffee maker or microwave, according to the product details. In a kitchen, that makes the cabinet a combined waste station and storage piece, in a laundry room or living area, it can instead help keep everyday supplies together. The listed use is as a trash bin holder, so other room uses are best treated as flexible storage rather than a dedicated hamper specification.

Check the bin’s shape and exterior measurements against the available cabinet space before choosing it. The product lists capacity and outside dimensions, but not the cabinet’s interior clearance. Buyers report that a 13-gallon square can fits, though that feedback does not establish clearance for every bin with the same capacity. The two hooks can be placed on either side, which may help adapt the setup to the room layout.

Buyer feedback often highlights the concealed look and the added storage, and some say the cabinet helps keep dogs away from trash. Assembly experiences are mixed: some find the instructions manageable, while others describe the process as difficult. Drawer behavior is also a reported drawback, with some buyers saying it does not close flush or can slam shut. These are useful points to weigh if smooth drawer operation is a priority.

Included in the package

The listed component is one trash can cabinet. The trash bin is not included, so it needs to be selected separately. Assembly instructions are included, and the product details say the parts are numbered for step-by-step assembly.

Before you decide

Does the cabinet come with a trash bin? No. The cabinet is described as being supplied without a bin, despite its 13-gallon capacity specification.

Can the hooks go on either side? Yes. The two hooks are designed for DIY installation on the left or right side.

Is assembly required? The cabinet comes with assembly instructions and numbered components. Buyer feedback on the process varies, so allow time to follow the steps carefully.

Buying verdict

It makes sense if you want to conceal a 13-gallon kitchen bin and prefer a cabinet that also adds a drawer, a usable top, and repositionable hooks. The fluted green panels make it a more furniture-like alternative to an exposed plastic trash can, while the engineered-wood construction and stated dimensions give you practical points to compare with your available space. It might not be a great match if you need the bin included, require confirmed interior measurements for a particular container, or place a high priority on a drawer that closes smoothly, buyers have raised concerns about drawer alignment and closing behavior.
