Few upgrades feel as small—yet have as big an impact—on day-to-day living as a new built-in trash can system. From modern pull-out cabinets to durable outdoor carts, the right replacement keeps your kitchen clean, your curb appeal polished, and your remodel on budget. CountBricks makes the process even easier by combining AI-powered estimating with real-time materials and labor data for every Fort Worth ZIP code.
In the greater Fort Worth area, many homes built before 2000 still rely on contractor-grade bins. These cans have thinner plastics, outdated slide rails, and lids that no longer seal odors. During a kitchen refresh, most homeowners add trash can replacement to the punch list. With CountBricks, you no longer need to guess at costs or coordinate multiple trades—we generate a line-item estimate in minutes and book vetted installers from our residential construction network.
Because we sync directly with local supplier catalogs, the numbers below reflect today’s market pricing. Open the CountBricks.com/services page for a dynamic quote.

Cabinets Out of Square
Fort Worth’s pier-and-beam homes settle over time, skewing cabinet boxes. Our installers shim and plane rails to ensure smooth glides.
Limited Ventilation
Odor build-up is notorious in humid North Texas summers. We recommend integrated charcoal filters and supply links via CountBricks.com/portfolio for inspiration.
Code Compliance
While interior trash cans do not require permits, outdoor enclosures over 200 sq ft may. CountBricks handles any paperwork during estimate generation.
• One-tap voice estimates—no spreadsheets • Live material pricing sourced from Fort Worth distributors • Automated labor scheduling with insured tradespeople • Digital invoices that sync to QuickBooks and Buildertrend • Warranty tracking and maintenance reminders within the app
• Opt for steel soft-close rails rated 100 lb+ to prevent sagging
• Choose dual bins—trash and recycle—to future-proof city mandates
• Add under-cab LED strips triggered by the pull-out for nighttime use
• Mount a small fire-extinguisher clip to the cabinet side if disposing of oily rags
• Use CountBricks’ materials tracker to re-order liners in bulk at contractor pricing
Fort Worth Solid Waste Services offers seasonal rebates for residents upgrading to dual-stream recycling. CountBricks flags eligible projects inside your estimate, calculates payback periods, and auto-generates the paperwork for submission.

When the Mitchell family decided to modernize their 1980s Tanglewood kitchen, a noisy hinge and lingering odors from a cracked plastic bin topped their complaint list. They used the CountBricks voice assistant to request a “dual 35-quart soft-close trash can replacement.” Within three minutes the platform:
• Captured cabinet dimensions from a smartphone photo • Compared five local supplier SKUs and locked in a 9 % bulk discount • Generated a $612.44 all-inclusive estimate, valid for seven days
The Mitchells accepted electronically, and installation was scheduled for the next afternoon. Our carpenter trimmed 1⁄8″ from the face-frame, installed steel under-mount rails, and fitted an odor-sealing lid. Total on-site time: 2.1 hours. Because CountBricks auto-logged labor productivity, we calibrated future estimates for similar Fort Worth homes, saving every client an average of 18 minutes in labor billing.
• Plan electrical now: If you think you might add a motion-sensor lid later, ask us to rough-in a low-voltage outlet during replacement. • Consider ADA needs: We can mount trash pull-outs 2″ lower for wheelchair accessibility without compromising cabinet integrity. • Bundle tasks: Pair trash can replacement with drawer re-fronting or hinge upgrades; CountBricks aggregates jobs to reduce trip fees.
