The Small Tool That Makes Bi-Weekly Pickup Bearable
Anyone else not thrilled about the new every-other-week garbage pickup? Overflowing bins and extra bags are becoming a real headache.
The Trash Basher is a small but mighty tool that crushes bags right inside your garbage, compost, or yard waste bins. It helps you fit up to twice as much in every bin – we squeezed 3 full leaf bags into one yard bin last weekend.

The Problem: Less Pickup, More Overflow
Bi-weekly schedules leave bins overflowing and neighbours frustrated
When municipal pickup shifts to every-other-week, bins fill faster and loose bags pile up. Lids don’t close, animals get interested, and households scramble to stash extra bags — which creates mess, complaints, and extra trips to manage waste.
The Fix: A Simple, Mighty Bin Tool
No electricity. No attachments. Just smart leverage.
The Trash Basher is a handheld leverage tool you place over bags and press down. It reduces air space inside soft bags and loose yard material so lids close and you reliably fit more into standard bins without climbing in or touching debris.
Built for Real-Life Bin Battles
Three everyday benefits that matter to homeowners
Compresses More Waste
Compact soft yard waste and bagged debris to create usable space so you don’t need extra curb bags or temporary storage during peak seasons.
Keeps Critters Out
When lids can close, animals and birds are far less likely to tear bags open — which reduces mess and neighbourhood complaints.
Easy, Safe Leverage
Designed for two-handed use at waist height, the Trash Basher gives dependable mechanical advantage with minimal strain and no bin climbing required.
Use Cases That Fit Your Routine
When you’ll reach for the Trash Basher

Common Questions
Quick answers to reduce friction
Does it really double bin capacity?
Results vary by material; soft, bagged yard waste compresses most. In our tests we managed three full leaf bags into one yard bin in ideal conditions.
Is it hard to use?
No — the device is designed for two-handed leverage at waist height and requires far less effort than pushing down by hand.
Will it damage my bin?
Used on top of soft bags it’s gentle; avoid direct contact with sharp or rigid objects to prevent scratching or deformation.
