Rethinking the UX of the Kitchen Garbage Can
The Pulli Bin has front doors
An inventor named Jason reportedly witnessed his mother and wife struggling to remove full garbage bags from a garbage can. He subsequently developed this Pulli Bin, which features a front that opens:
The doors contain a locking mechanism; opening the lid all of the way unlocks them, allowing you to pull the bag out of the front.
There's a removable drip tray at the bottom, and the inventor says the doors also make the can easier to clean inside.
The Pulli Can is headed for production, but no price or release date has been announced.

Wonder if it pops open when you shove oversize objects in the trash bag, which currently, I'll rely on the rigidity of the trash can to help scrunch things into that space.
Hi Jamie! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The Pulli Bin has built-in door locks that keep the doors fully secured until you're ready to take the trash out. So go ahead, push, pack and stuff it! We thought of every detail to design and engineer the ultimate trash can!
It's nice, but the very simple solution is to drill a few holes on the side of the can near the bottom. The main reason the bag "sticks" is because pulling the bag up creates a low pressure area under it, and makes it harder to lift. Punching the holes lets air flow into the can and prevents this from happening.
Obviously, you'd do this with a cheap plastic garbage can, not an expensive metal one.
Hi Ryan! Thanks for sharing your feedback! The DIY solution! While drilling a hole might solve one issue, we’ve designed the Pulli Bin to address the entire experience – eliminating the need for lifting, eliminating suction, and minimizing the risk of tearing or injury. No need for holes, just smart, thoughtful design.
This is great. I'd love it if if were combined with the manual compacting of this Joseph Joseph design: https://us.josephjoseph.com/products/titan-30l-trash-compactor-stainless-steel
