Illustrated Trash Stash modular jobsite container with belt clip and quick-dump door

A better place for the little stuff

Small debris creates big frustration.

One compact, reusable container keeps the workspace cleaner while leaving both hands free.

Clip it. Fill it. Dump it. Get back to work.

One-way top doors help keep debris contained, while the bottom latch makes emptying fast and simple. Modular mounting moves Trash Stash from your belt to a ladder, pouch, wall, or cart without changing the way you work.

The story behind Trash Stash

A jobsite idea, engineered into a real product.

Trash Stash began with a practical need shared between people who work in the field—and became something far more capable through deliberate product design.

The jobsite moment

Brian Hughes and Jakob Rogers were working residential AV when Trevor Hain saw a small box hanging from a belt loop with a zip tie. Jakob said he and Brian had always wanted a little trash can that could clip to a belt, then asked Trevor if he could build it in CAD.

The field brief

A bin on a clip solved one problem. A real trades tool had to do more: work with Milwaukee and Veto Pro Pac gear, move from belt to ladder, stick to nearby metal, stay shut while climbing, and empty cleanly with one hand.

The hardware problem

Trash and useful parts inevitably mix. Trevor added the Hardware Saver™ concept—a magnetic corner that can hold a stray screw, nut, or bit while the debris drops out through the bottom door.

Trash Stash becomes a product

Trevor named it, designed it in CAD, engineered the mechanisms, built the prototypes, and developed the brand, artwork, documentation, and website through Echo Werks LLC.

From a trash can on a clip to a modular tool built for the way trades actually work.

Use and care

Frequently asked questions

How is Rev 1.0 assembled?

Use the assembly notes supplied with the approved Rev 1.0 file package. Dry-fit every printed part before installing magnets or pins, confirm the gravity doors move freely, and verify the bottom latch closes completely before jobsite use. Printed tolerances vary by printer and material, so never force a hinge or magnet pocket.

How should Trash Stash be cleaned?

Empty loose debris first, then wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild soap. Remove any optional insert before cleaning. Do not use a dishwasher, solvent, abrasive cleaner, open flame, or heat gun. Let every part dry fully before reinstalling magnets or hardware.

What should I know about the magnets?

Magnets can pinch fingers and can interfere with some medical devices, magnetic media, compasses, and sensitive electronics. Keep loose magnets away from children and pets. Inspect retention regularly, stop using the product if a magnet comes loose, and follow medical-device manufacturer guidance.

What temperatures can a printed Rev 1.0 handle?

Heat resistance depends on the selected filament, print settings, wall thickness, color, and load. Follow the filament manufacturer’s published service-temperature guidance. PLA prints may deform in a hot vehicle or direct sun; do not treat a printed part as heat-rated unless the specific material and finished print have been validated.

Is Trash Stash safety equipment?

No. Trash Stash is not PPE, a tool tether, fall-protection equipment, a climbing anchor, a step, or a container for food, liquids, hot material, blades, batteries, chemicals, biohazards, or energized parts. Mount it only where it will not interfere with climbing, walking, tools, or required protective equipment.

Can I print and sell Rev 1.0?

Not under the standard Rev 1.0 Maker License. Personal, educational, and internal evaluation prints are allowed after approved access; resale, commercial manufacturing, redistribution, and sublicensing require separate written permission from Echo Werks LLC.
