Clothespin Trashcan by DCI

Create a waste basket instantly out of any bag on hand. Similar to Ben the Bin, the Clothespin Trashcan counts on you to reuse bags instead of buying new garbage bags...

The frame works with any bag – plastic, paper, cloth or canvas, depending on the use. The Clothespin Trashcan comes flat packed (you can even reuse the packaging as a garbage bag) and is available at Amazon for $16.

The one at the picture is made by Hung Ming Chen at www.hommin.com. He studied design in Sweden at Konstfack and has made really cool things.

FYI, after some sleuthing -- I didn't slave as a newspaper reporter for nothing, doodz -- I found the trash can for $14, as opposed to the $20 now being asked by the seller on Amazon (boo!). Those interested should feel free to take a virtual toddle over to nonphiction.com. The site's product descriptions alone are worth the trip. Extolling the virtues of a wall hook shaped like a pushpin, he/she/they/it write(s):

The pushpin may be one of the greatest inventions of all time. Simply put, it’s simple. Right, so, the PushPin Clotheshanger enhances the idea of the pushpin and allows you to throw a coat, umbrella, or messenger bag on your wall. If you really want to be ironic, you can use them to mount a poster or something. . . The bottom line is, you have a gigantic pushpin in your wall and who doesn’t want that in their life right now?

I might ask he/she/they/it to marry me.
