Next time you’re doing your car maintenance, consider how much easier it would have been if you kept a trash bag in the car, instead of letting the debris accumulate on the floor. It’s easy to make a trash receptacle to leave in your car that your family will use every day.

Here are some handy trash cans to help you with your car maintenance:

  • Find a cardboard box that fits in the space between the seats of the back seat. Cut off the flaps on the top half of the box to make it easy for car maintenance. Cover it with wrapping paper. Use a trash liner inside to prevent wet items from ruining the box.
  • Use a plastic cereal container (with a flip top). The closed top will help keep up your car maintenance.
  • An oatmeal container is the right size and shape to hold small items. Plus, you can use plastic grocery bags as liners. Decorate the container and Mod Podge your additions. It will last for a very long time and is a sturdy tiny barrel. Car maintenance will be simpler with the reusable lid.
