Keep the Car Clean with a Small Trash Bag

The Problem

Your car is a trash heap after a road trip: wrappers, bottles, napkins everywhere.

The Hack

Hang a small bag (grocery bag or car trash bag) on the gear shift or behind a headrest. All trash goes in immediately. Empty at each gas stop.

Why It Works

Trash accumulates because there's no convenient disposal point inside the car. A dedicated trash bag within arm's reach catches everything in real-time instead of it going on the floor.

Pro Tips

• Empty at every gas stop — takes 10 seconds
• Grocery bags are free and perfect
• Behind-the-headrest car trash bags: $8 for a reusable one
• The car stays clean the entire trip
