Summerset 20 inch 2 Bin Trash and Recycling Drawer: separate bins for scraps and empties
The Summerset 20 inch 2 Bin Trash and Recycling Drawer is a drawer unit that drops into the front of an island. It holds two upright bins side by side, one for trash and one for cans and bottles, so sorting happens at the counter. It measures 20 by 27 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 both bins come right to you. Place it a step from the prep counter, so nobody carries a bag through the house at midnight. Only need one bin in a narrower slot? See the Summerset 14 inch Narrow Trash Drawer. The Summerset 20 inch 2 Bin Trash and Recycling Drawer ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
Why two bins instead of one?
Because outdoor entertaining generates two streams – food scraps and a mountain of cans and bottles. The TD2-20 runs trash and recycling side by side in one 20-by-27-inch pullout, so sorting happens at the source and nobody carries a clinking bag through the house at midnight.
How big is the drawer?
The unit occupies a 20-by-27-inch vertical opening – wide enough for two upright bins riding together on one heavy-duty pullout. Face, body, and handle are 304 stainless steel, so the TD2-20 presents a single clean drawer front to the island.
Where does waste sorting fit in an outdoor kitchen plan?
Next to the prep and serving zones, downstream of the action. Placing the TD2-20 one step from the counter keeps the workflow moving during a party – scraps in one bin, empties in the other. It is one of the quiet details that make a full outdoor kitchen run like a real kitchen.
Does it use standard trash bags?
The two-bin bay is designed around common kitchen-size bins and liners, so you are not hunting for specialty bags. If you want exact bin dimensions before ordering the TD2-20, contact us and we will confirm the current specs against your preferred liner size.
Will a trash pullout attract pests?
An enclosed drawer is the pest-resistant option – the TD2-20’s stainless body blocks the smells-and-access combination that open bins advertise. Empty the trash side after each cookout, rinse the bins monthly, and the raccoons will keep auditing your neighbor’s open can instead of your island.
How does commercial-grade hardware show up here?
In the cycling – the TD2-20 pulls out dozens of times per party, so Summerset fits the same heavy-duty full-extension tracks and ball-bearing slides used across its commercial-grade storage. Loaded with two full bins, the drawer still rolls out with a fingertip.
Is there a warranty on a trash drawer, really?
Really – the TD2-20 carries the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty like every Summerset storage component, covering it for the life of the product. Given that the trash pullout is among the hardest-working drawers in any island, lifetime hardware coverage is not a small perk.
