Solid Wood Amish Trash Cans, Hampers & Baskets

The Beauty of Amish Craftsmanship

Amish Furniture Factory offers a fine selection of trash bins, baskets and hampers. Amish made wooden trash cans have several unique benefits over plastic or metal trash bins. Amish trash bins are more durable with added resistance to cracking, denting or rusting. Made of ½ inch thick solid hard wood, your trash bin will last you for many years. This same thickness of the wood and well designed tops will also help keep bad odors associated with waste trapped inside the bin. Ordering an Amish wooden trash can will allow you to choose from a wide array of wood types and stains to more easily match the colors of your existing furniture or home décor. We offer oak and cherry wood for the majority of our trash bins available, both of which are available in around one half dozen stain colors.

Types of Amish Trash Cans

If you're looking for a trash can that blends practicality with handcrafted charm, Amish furniture offers several great options.

Swing Top/Tilt Top Trash Cans

These trash cans feature a hinged lid that swings or tilts open from the top, allowing for easy access while keeping contents discreetly hidden. Often designed with handcrafted wooden frames for a classic, rustic look.

Storage Bins/Trash Cans

Dual-purpose containers that serve as both trash receptacles and extra storage. Ideal for organizing household items while maintaining a clean, Amish-crafted aesthetic.

Tilt Out Trash Cans

Designed with a front panel that tilts forward to reveal a concealed trash bin inside. This style combines function and style, blending seamlessly with other Amish cabinetry and furniture.

Slide Out Trash Cans

Built into cabinetry or freestanding units, these trash cans slide out smoothly on tracks or rails. Perfect for keeping trash hidden and easily accessible in a well-organized kitchen or utility space.

Wood Types and Finishes You Should Choose

When selecting an Amish trash can, the wood type and finish are essential to ensure it complements your home’s style and stands the test of time.

• Oak: A durable and versatile hardwood with a prominent grain, perfect for a traditional look.
• Cherry: Rich in color, cherry wood develops a warm patina over time, ideal for a more refined, classic appearance.
• Maple: Known for its smooth, clean grain, maple provides a modern, subtle elegance to any room.
• Hickory: Exceptionally sturdy with a distinctive grain pattern, hickory offers a rustic charm that is built to last.
• Walnut: Dark, elegant, and sophisticated, walnut is perfect for adding luxury and depth to your space.

Finishes:

Choose from a variety of stain options to enhance the natural beauty of the wood, ranging from light to dark tones. For a more vintage or rustic feel, distressing can be applied to create a worn, aged look that adds character. To protect and preserve the wood, sealing ensures durability while enhancing the grain and color.

Our Amish trash cans can be customized to match your existing Amish furniture, ensuring consistency in style and finish. Whether you have a traditional or modern aesthetic, matching the wood type and finish to your furniture will create a cohesive, timeless look throughout your home.
