Between the arm rest and the front dash in the space on the floor appears to be an ideal place for a small trash bag or recepticle of some kind. Has anyone found one for the Prius that fits in this space, or anwhere else? Or has anyone done a mod to one that fits and could post a description of pic? thanks in advance........ Just trying to keep my new car clean!!
I saw one on EBay that velcroed to the area under the cd player, in front of the center console. I think is was on the same site that is selling the MFD hoods. Sorry, I can't get there from work to check the address.

I'm in the process of moving out so my camera and things are packed, but when I get to my first destination I'll try and post a pic. It is just a velvet bag in the shape of a lunch sack, small velcro closure. On its back is a horizontal velcro strip that I've attached to that exact spot you mentioned. Go to the auto section of Walmart where they also sell seat covers and floor mats. There should be a selection there - the one I got I thought was the only decent-looking one. It's black with blue butterflies in the corner. G'luck!

But I like the "attach with velcro" idea, so its removable (empting, etc............) thanks all!! I'll go look in WalMart.
Every Toyota dealer that I've been to has a variety of trash bags. Most are designed to velcro to the back of the seat. There's several sizes and are leak proof. They're made by High Road. I have my XM radio mounted on the hump so I can't use that area for trash.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(aaf709 @ Jul 31 2006, 04:27 PM) [snapback]295335[/snapback]</div> I have an Allied Auto & Truck Litter Basked No. 85 (that's what is on the label) that I purchased several years ago for another vehicle. It has little spikes on the bottom to hold it in place and it fits nicely. I probably got it at Walmart or some other discount store. Also on the label "Allied Plastics, Inc. P.O. Box 975, Gastonia, NC 28053. I like the idea of not having to velcro stuff.
I too, would like one that has a weighted base and sits on that little hump. Don't like Velcro! I have plenty of those, and never use them. I just want it to sit there. Little nubbins on the bottom and a sand bag for weight would do the trick!

I line it with a recycled small plastic bag and its position allows me to reach back to place trash in it. To empty, remove the plastic bag. I use the front drawer to hold one of those square boxes of tissues.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(darelldd @ Jul 31 2006, 05:12 PM) [snapback]295360[/snapback]</div> I have one of those. It's a catalogue item. But it's NOT online. I checked and the company doesn't have a website. It's mail order only. My mother gets the catalogues and she sent for it for me. I can't remember the name. I thought I had posted it on Priuschat once already, with the item number and address of the company. It's Starcrest or something very similar to that. The catalogue that just came has loose half sheet pages in a large envelope. There was a shiney new penny glued on the order card to encourage purchases. Do you believe they still do that? Seems people ask about the trashcan only AFTER the catalogue comes and has been thrown out. I swear the next time I see that trashcan catalogue page I'm keeping it and putting it with all of my other Prius documents. Don't have an item number but here's what I found: Starcrest Of California Address: 19465 Brennan Ave, Perris, CA Perris California 92599 U.S.A. Phone Number:951-943-2011 Starcrest of California (951) 657-2793 3660 Brennan Ave Perris, CA 92599 One of these is probably the corporate office and the other is the mail order/warehouse/processing office. They apparently also go by the name of Make Life Easier. There is a rudimentary website where you can order a catalogue. I suggest sending a check by snail mail rather than calling with a credit card. Don't ask. Trust me. Make Life Easier/ Starcrest of California

Ok, some updates... Drove through 3 midwestern states with average daily temps of 99 degrees, and am now in Denver, CO. Midway through, I tried to throw something away in this bag and realized the velcro started to come off the car! Seems like weighing it down is a better idea now. I don't have a pic of the thign yet either. Sorry!
Here is more info on a previous thread. I installed one from Walmart. Works and looks fine. I posted pics towards the end of the thread. http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=16419&st=40
