This is one of my first projects and while not fancy it is what my wife wanted, nice and country looking. She liked it so much i made a second one to sell on craigslist. it is 24" high and 13" deep and 15" wide on its inside dimensions which means it will take standard kitchen trash bags. Made from pallets i found on the side of the road and drug home, plus a bit of pine for the base and rim. i made it all from scratch, no plans, just took the rough measurement of the plastic bin we had in the kitchen. I used spring loaded hinges so the lid stay however far up or back you raise it without falling, and offset them with a piece of pallet on the rear so they never contact the can until its closed, this prevent the hinges getting in the way of the bag during removal and install.
