Summerset 14 inch Narrow Trash Drawer: hidden trash storage for a narrow island space
The Summerset 14 inch Narrow Trash Drawer is a drawer unit that drops into the front of an outdoor kitchen island. It holds one upright trash or recycling bin behind a plain drawer front, so the bin stays out of sight. It measures 14 by 26 inches, taller than it is wide. It mounts flush, sitting flat against a smooth island face such as tile, stucco, or panels. It is built from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
The drawer pulls all the way out on ball bearing slides, so the bin comes right to you. This unit suits the narrow slot between a grill and a sink, where nothing wider fits.

FAQ
Where does trash go in an outdoor kitchen?
Ideally out of sight, one step from the prep counter. The TD1-14 tucks a pullout trash drawer into a 14-by-26-inch vertical opening – narrow enough to squeeze between a grill and a sink cutout – so scraps and packaging disappear at the source instead of riding an open bin parked on the patio.
How does a 14-inch drawer stay useful?
By going vertical – the TD1-14 is only 14 inches wide but 26 inches tall, so the narrow face conceals a tall pullout bay that takes an upright trash or recycling bin. The full-extension travel presents the bin for use, then hides it flush behind 304 stainless. Small footprint, real capacity.
What does commercial-grade mean here?
Summerset describes the TD1-14 as commercial-grade: full 304 stainless construction, heavy-duty full-extension tracks, and ball-bearing slides rated for constant daily cycling – the duty level restaurant patios need. In a backyard, that translates to a trash drawer that still glides smoothly years in.
How should storage be arranged around a trash drawer?
Prep counter above or beside it, so trimmings sweep straight in; towels and cleaning supplies in a drawer nearby. Trash placement is the most-skipped step when people plan outdoor kitchen drawers – the TD1-14’s narrow face means it fits the plan late without stealing a whole cabinet bay.
Does an enclosed trash drawer smell?
Less than an open bin – the enclosed stainless body blocks the sun that bakes odors, and pulling the bag every cook or two keeps the TD1-14 fresh. A lidded inner bin and an occasional rinse of the drawer floor handle the rest. Flies lose interest in trash they cannot reach.
Will it stand up to weather?
Yes – weather-resistant 304 stainless steel inside and out, so rain, sprinklers, and salt air do not get a foothold, and the TD1-14’s drawer face wipes clean like the rest of the island. The hardware is the same heavy-duty track set Summerset uses across its storage line.
Trash or recycling – can it do both?
The bay accepts either – many owners run trash during cookouts and switch the bin to recycling duty for can-heavy parties. If you need both streams side by side, step up to Summerset’s 20-inch two-bin unit; the TD1-14 is the specialist for tight islands, backed by the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty.
