Got a quote at pre-start for inbuilt garbage draw for the island bench and it's $680. Is there any other way around it? Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Share
Is it in a cupboard all on its own i.e. a single door cupboard? Maybe you could get it installed afterwards if you made it a cupboard. Would it be cheeky to ask your builder who does their cabinetry and then speak to them about it quietly?
You can get some nice ones like Franke and Blanco for around $500-600. Or you can just get a deep sided drawer and mount it to the front door and put some bins inside. Mine was a standard 60cm cupboard but i converted it into a bin drawer with an Ikea drawer (from Blum anyway) and put some bins inside. To make the bins not to move around I secured them with some drawer dividers. I put a shelf to act as a lid and a pull out basket for paper. The whole internal set up cost me under $100.
Nearly knocked me over when I heard the price, but we needed it to stop our beloved pets from ransacking the bin every night. . . no more bricks on the bin for us!
I have made a few changes with our kitchen and have gone straight to the kitchen maker which the builder is okay with. They quoted me $368 for a Hefele slide out bin to attach to my door front, it has 2 large bins, however it is only $80 extra to have a melamine box made on sliding rails so I can place my own bins in, my Mum just had this done and has the Hefele bins inside the box and works well, I am going to try and find tall bins so it takes up the majority of the cupboards. Maybe ask them to not hinge door and do it yourself.

Häfele is the brand that was offered by the builder. I looked around at some websites and it looks like garbage tray is actually cost around $300, then we also asked for laundry draw and that one was around $250, so if you add them together then $600 mark is what is expected to pay. It's just our sales rep said that it will cost us about $100 for it... sales reps they know everything... don't they?

I would go directly to the cabinet maker and get a price to changed these or source the items and supply them to be installed. I have found a bin on ebay that attaches to the door panel and has 2 x 35 litre bins for about $80, just don't know how good the slide out bit is, probably not as good as the expensive brands but big difference. Have a look http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251072592203 ... 018wt_1165 I don't think a wire laundry basket should cost much, I had a look at these before at the cabinet makers and pretty simple, wire basket attached to slide on melamine board. Just found this for idea on price. http://www.nikpol.com.au/storage/wirewa ... y-bathroom
You can really use anything you want the main consideration would be how it looks once painted/finished - or the look you want.
Cabinetmakers use MDF because its cheap…
