Frequently Asked Questions

So you’ve checked out our suggestions for the best trash can for your Ford Expedition but you may be wondering, is it really necessary? Well take a look below as we discuss this in a bit more detail:

Do I really need a car trash can?

A trash can for your car is a great way to help keep your car in pristine condition. We’ve all been there – we get a new car and vow we will keep it clean then a few weeks later it’s full of trash and empty take out containers. 

By having an interior trash can you can minimise the mess (and smell) that a trash build can cause. Not to mention it can save you the embarrassment you feel when you need to pick up your co-worker and they realise your car is like a garbage can!

Plus if your truck is filled with candy wrappers and empty sugary drinks cans it can attract many pests such as ants and rats! And I’m sure we all know how difficult it can be to get rid of ants, so anything you can do to keep them at bay is a huge plus.
