Hello everyone,

I am planning my new kitchen using the IKEA Metod system and definitely want to install an integrated waste sorting system. My main question is: How can I properly and efficiently assemble kitchen cabinets with an integrated waste sorting system so that it is stable, access works smoothly, and the waste separation is as space-saving as possible?

I already have basic furniture assembly skills but would like to know specifically how to best integrate the individual modules of the waste sorting system (containers, rails, fasteners) into the Metod cabinet doors. Are there any tips for choosing the right cabinet type (e.g., with internal or external drawers) and what should be considered during assembly to ensure longer durability and ease of use?

Thank you in advance for your recommendations and experiences!

Additional information:

- A 60cm (24 inches) wide base cabinet with VARIERA containers fits well.
- Install metal telescopic slides, as they are more durable than plastic ones.
- Containers must be securely hooked in to prevent wobbling.
- Check that the slides are level before final installation.
- Ensure the drawers can be smoothly pulled out even when all containers are fully loaded.

Good luck with the installation!
