Kmart has logged yet another win in the ‘things you never knew you needed’ category, with a little-known gadget tucked away in the corner of the store. 

The ‘life-changing’ item in question? A $6 pop-up bin for your car. 

Perfect for all the wrappers, cups, crumbs and other bits and bobs that end up on the floor for months, this little beauty has been dubbed a ‘must’ by hundreds of shoppers. 

The space-saving bin is easily installed behind a seat in your vehicle and is large enough to be useful yet small enough to avoid being an eyesore at 19cm x 16cm.

The little black buy has been an unlikely hit, with a near clean sweep of five-star reviews. 

‘Game-changer for the car… love this,’ a shopper wrote. 

‘Definitely helps keep the car tidy and a nice size that doesn’t take up too much room,’ another added.

‘Works great! I have it sitting in the middle seat [as an] organiser for the kids! Fits small bags and does a great job,’ one more said.

It’s not the first mini car bin to capture the attention of Aussies either, with a little ‘car trash can’ for the centre console proving popular earlier this year

The compact $5 tube is black, stamped with the word ‘push’ on the lid, just like a regular-sized push-top bin. 

Ideal for disposing of wrappers and waste on the go, the lightweight design is 20cm x 7.8cm and fits in most car cup holders. 

Alternatively it can be placed in the side doors or in the middle of the two back seats for passenger use. 

The buy landed as part of a wider car range at Kmart, which includes a $5 car safety pack and a $5 car snack holder.
