Where do you put your trash?

[formerVWdriver]

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a messy person. I carry around messy children. I have put rubber mats in the Prius because I know us. But I can't figure out where to put stuff.

What do you use for a trash can and where do you put it?

Where do you keep your CDs? They don't really fit anywhere.

What's in your glove box? (Top one and bottom one.)

What's in your center armrest?

What's in that little space under the CD player?

How can I keep from trashing this beautiful new car?

Help! (And thank you.)

Door side pockets

Where do you keep your CDs? They don't really fit anywhere.

Use CD sleeves instead of a case, cases are too bulky CDs are pretty tough as long as they do not get scratched. I use a sleeve book I pulled from a padded CD case

What's in your glove box? (Top one and bottom one.)

Top is napkins. Bottom is owners manual and leagal papers and reciepts.

What's in your center armrest?

hair brush, gum, and a coin holder (target sells a neat round one that holds coins in a spring loaded style, made by bell)

What's in that little space under the CD player?

My sunglasses, wife's sunglasses are in the roof holder

[color=#FF0000] Just empty the side poskets when full, keep a microfiber or kozak cloth for dusting in the pull drawer under the center armrest. Just have one big 50 state road atlas in a seat back pocket and maybe a couple local maps at most. Less is more. good move with the rubber mats. Also vacum as much as your willing and wipe the door boundries with a rag

Help! (And thank you.)

Nothing, or whatever Target shopping bag I have on hand. I put it on the floor, or on the seat, or in the hatch.

I have an iPod that I keep in the center console. For my books on CD I get from the library, I use either one of the two glove compartments, the side door, or the center console.

If you find out, please let me know. I haven't managed to do it...

What do you use for a trash can and where do you put it?
A litter bag with Velcro on the bottom that keeps it anchored on the carpet. It sits on the hump in front of the console. I keep a grocery store plastic bag in it and change the bag when I dump the trash. The litter bag obstructs the drawer at the bottom front of the console, but that's not a big deal. I keep maps in the drawer and I don't routinely use them.

Where do you keep your CDs? They don't really fit anywhere.
In the center armrest compartment. They fit well there.

What's in your glove box? (Top one and bottom one.)
(Incomplete list, done by memory) Top: registration, insurance card, map of state park trails, envelopes for ATM deposits, small brush, small eyeglass cleaner spray (for the MFD). Bottom: owner's manual, tire pressure gauge, multi-tool, small pair of scissors, small flashlight, gloves, instructions for installing my front end bra (for removing and re-installing for car wash), XM radio manual, spare necktie for work uniform, lint-free cloth (for MFD).

What's in your center armrest?
Bottom: CDs. Tray: reading glasses, plastic toothpick, pen, comb, box of mints.

What's in that little space under the CD player?
More CDs and the empty case for the one I'm playing, hang tag for parking at the state park.

Teach yourself and your children not to be messy. Seriously, it can be done. In my younger days, I used no litter bag. The floor was more than sufficient and had a much larger capacity for a few weeks worth of hamburger wrappers, french fry containers, drink cups and cans (including an occasional beer can or five), discarded documents, etc. From the routine eating and drinking in the car, stains on the seats and carpet were inevitable. Now I'm meticulous about keeping the interior neat and clean. Set the example for your kids and insist on the same behaviors from them.

But you're not looking for lectures, I'm sure. You've got the floors protected, so I suggest seat covers. See this thread for a value-priced set that looks surprisingly good and has held up well so far, though with some installation issues that some of us dealt with.

Help! (And thank you.)
Good luck, and enjoy the car!

CDs fit perfectly under the center console. I also put a whole bunch of quarters in the secret compartment. I'll put my iPod under the CD player once I get my DICE kit.

[Highly ImPriused]

I'm strictly carry-in/carry-out with trash these days and I make my 3 year old do the same (the 6 month old doesn't know how to litter yet ). If I'm getting out of the car, any trash is coming with me to be discarded in the nearest receptacle. For road trips, we use a plastic grocery bag and it gets emptied regularly.

What do you use for a trash can and where do you put it?
The lower pullout drawer between the seats.

Where do you keep your CDs? They don't really fit anywhere.
I have a visor CD sleeve for those w/o jewel cases and those w/ cases I keep in the center armrest console.

What's in your glove box? (Top one and bottom one.)
Top- I think there is a cereal bar and a small ice scraper mitt that I got for Xmas
Bottom- Manuals/service records, tire gauge, gloves, napkins, flotsam

What's in your center armrest?
Mostly CDs, phone charger, gum (there is a little ledge in the front part of the armrest section perfect for 1-2 flat blister packs of gum)

What's in that little space under the CD player?
Envelope w/ gas receipts, pen and I often toss my cell phone in there.

How can I keep from trashing this beautiful new car?
Well, that's up to you but what I do is make a point to look around almost every time I get out of the car to see if there is something I can take to throw away. That will reduce clutter.


BTW, you left out door pockets, which is where I keep maps. My wife usually has a hair brush and girly stuff rolling around in the passenger side door.

[just_marci]

Glove box - emergency hammer, owner's manuals and paperwork.

Center console - cellphone charger, tissues and change. Need to pick up a lip balm.

That's it.

2007 Prius: 26 thou.
Condoms: few bucks.
Knowing I will never have Cheerios ground into my upholstery: priceless.

What do you use for a trash can and where do you put it?

Normally I don't put carry items that produce trash while in the car. If there is something I put it the bag it came in and throw it out when I find a trash can. I have seen bags that attach (via Velcro) to the back of the rear seat. They will even hold liquid if a cup isn't empty.

Where do you keep your CDs? They don't really fit anywhere.

I have an iPod and don't carry CDs. When I did I kept the cases in the center.

What's in your glove box? (Top one and bottom one.)

Top has my book where I keep my auto expenses and some menus. I keep my registration and proof of insurance as well. I also have the instructions for my portable XM radio.

What's in your center armrest?

Stuff for my job, the charger for my cell phone, flashlight, tire gauge, multi-screwdriver, the valet cars and items for my iPod.

What's in that little space under the CD player?

My remote to operate the portable XM radio.

How can I keep from trashing this beautiful new car?

Just be careful in what you do around it.

[Godiva]

What do you use for a trash can and where do you put it?

I have a little trash can that fits over the hump. For you, I suggest the kind that hand over the back of the seats. Two of them, one for each side in the back. Plus something for Mom in the front.

Where do you keep your CDs? They don't really fit anywhere.

I have sleeves that fit over the sunvisors, one on each side. That means one goes on backwards but that's OK as I have the passenger side one so the CDs slide out toward the driver; makes them easier to grab. They are all back-ups I burned on my Computer in case they should be stolen or damaged. I've already cracked on so good idea on that.

What's in your glove box? (Top one and bottom one.)

Bottom: manual, first aid kit, all paperwork(registration,HOV,insurance,etc), swiffer
Top: flashlight,spare reading glasses,map,small collapsible cup

What's in your center armrest?

Screwdrivers,tire gauge,altoids,clean fast food napkins, camera, coin purse with quarters

What's in that little space under the CD player?

Garage door opener, receipts.

How can I keep from trashing this beautiful new car?

Seat covers and floor mats. Don't for get the cargo area. I also have two nets and a cargo tote for there. A vertical net, a horizontal net and two cargo totes actually. The horizontal net can come in really handy to prevent stuff from shifting. Get a swiffer for occasional dusting and something for cleaning (Don't use Armorall!)


BTW you didn't ask but I keep Kleenex in the little drawer on the bottom front of the center console. Look for it.
