As we age, we often find joy in the simple things—a well-kept garden, a tidy home, and even a clean car. But let’s face it, maintaining that cleanliness in our vehicles can be a challenge, especially when life gets busy with grandkids, pets, and the daily errands that never seem to end. It’s not uncommon for our cars to become a repository for all sorts of debris—from the sand that tags along after a beach visit to the crumbs of a hastily eaten snack on the go.
However, there’s a new accessory from Kmart that’s causing quite a stir among shoppers, and it’s not just because of its incredibly low price. For just $5, the Kmart Car Trash Can has gained attention for its practicality and affordability for anyone looking to keep their vehicle in tip-top shape without breaking the bank.
The Kmart Car Trash Can is more than just a bin; it’s a testament to the power of simple, effective design. Described as a ‘convenient solution for keeping your vehicle clean during road trips’, this accessory is perfect for disposing of the little bits of waste that inevitably accumulate in our cars. Whether it’s wrappers, receipts, or the remnants of a quick snack, this trash can is designed to handle it all.
Australian mum Jess Brouwer is a vocal advocate for this nifty item, telling Yahoo Lifestyle that it’s become a staple in her car-cleaning routine. ‘As soon as I saw it in store, I knew it would be handy,’ Jess explains. ‘I loved that it was modern looking, so it wouldn’t be an eyesore in my car. It’s definitely worth the money!’
Jess points out that while the car trash can is ideal for smaller items and fits perfectly in the side door or cupholder, it does have its limitations. The push-down lid, which automatically flicks back up, can make it tricky to dispose of larger pieces of rubbish. But for the everyday bits and bobs, it’s a perfect fit.
For those who need a bit more capacity, Kmart also offers a $5.50 Car Pop Up Bin, which has received rave reviews from shoppers. One happy customer shared her satisfaction on social media, saying, ‘Absolutely love, I use this on the daily. Keeps your car clean, especially the little pieces of rubbish your car accumulates.’
The Pop Up Bin has received positive feedback from customers who appreciate its practical design, with comments like, ‘Game changer for the car. Love this,’ and ‘We do a lot of travelling, this is perfect to keep our van neat and tidy.’ Another customer appreciated the size, noting that it ‘doesn’t take up too much room’.
These Kmart accessories are appreciated for their practicality and affordability, helping many maintain a cleaner and more organised car.
