Open Trash Under Counter

Before the remodel there was no place to put the trash and recycling — the cans were a real nuisance in the middle of the floor, blocked a very shallow angled cabinet where the trash is now, and also blocked the door. Because moving the door was not an option, I designed a much deeper angled counter here, deep enough to allow for for 2 large trash and recycling cans to fit under it, and with sufficient height to open the cans without their lids bumping the counter. Raising the counter here also keeps the doorknob from hitting it, allowing the door to open a few more degrees than it would otherwise.
