Bedside Buddy Bin

When the “big cold” hits, used tissues start piling up everywhere. Lying in bed, there’s usually no trash can nearby, and soon the tissues begin to stack up on the nightstand. This isn’t very pleasant, hygienic, or nice. It’s even creepier when you reach for your glass of water in the dark and end up grabbing old, used tissues instead. For times like these, a mobile trash can would be perfect:

 Preparation:

• print “SideTrashCollector_FrameAndMount” , “SideTrashCollector_BagClip” and “SideTrashCollector_Cover” and optional also “conterhook”
• use two small zip-ties (e.g. 100mm x 2,5mm x 1mm) to work as hinges between “BagClip” and “Cover”

• Don't fasten the zip-ties too tight and cut off the ends accordingly. Should look like this: 

Assembly:

• the mount is optimized for 25mm strong wooden frame to stick it on
• by using a big rubber band and the “conterhook” (see next picture) you can add stability

so it looks like this:

now you can unfold a small garbage bag and stuff it into the green frame like this:

put on the assembled “BagClip” zip-tied to the “Cover” to hold the bag in place:

Done and get well soon!
