Perfect for lazy people who do not like to take out the trash often, designer Young-min Heo must have had me in mind with this Growing Bin design.
The Growing Bin utilizes an adjustable set of concentric rings that can expand vertically to accomodate more and more trash.
It's a good quick-fix for when you have visitors or a party and the trash keeps piling.
Ofcourse the expansion won't go on forevere and eventually you run out of rings and must empty the trash, but it buys you some time.
