Joyren Car Cup Holder and Trash Bin, Centre Console — a combination unit that fits into the centre console area and turns what is normally dead space into usable storage — a cup holder, a bottle holder and a small lidded bin for the wrappers, tickets and receipts that otherwise end up in the door pocket.
Why it is worth fitting
Every car has a small dead zone in the centre console, usually beside the handbrake or behind the gear lever, where nothing fits properly. Meanwhile the things that actually accumulate in a car have nowhere to go: parking receipts, sweet wrappers, a coffee cup, a bottle that rolls under the seat. A unit that fills that dead space with a cup holder and a lidded bin solves both problems at once and costs very little. The lid matters more than it sounds — an open bin of wrappers in a hot car is exactly the smell nobody wants, and a lidded container keeps the contents out of sight until you empty it. ABS plastic also means it wipes clean, unlike a fabric bin that absorbs a spilled drink permanently.

Will it fit?
Designed to fit the centre console of most cars, but console shapes vary considerably between models and the fit is not guaranteed for every vehicle. Measure the space you intend to use — the available width, depth and particularly the height under any overhanging trim or armrest — and compare those figures with the unit’s dimensions before ordering. Also check that it does not obstruct the handbrake, a gear lever, the seat adjustment or the seat belt buckle.
Fitting and first use
Clear the console area and check it is clean and dry. Set the unit in position and check the fit before loading it: it should sit level and stable rather than rocking. Confirm the handbrake, gear lever and seat belt buckles still move freely through their full travel, and that the armrest closes if there is one. Load the cup holder with a cup to check it does not tip, and check the bin opens and closes without fouling anything. Recheck the position after the first drive, because a console unit that shifts under cornering needs to be repositioned rather than left loose.
Care and maintenance
Empty the bin regularly rather than letting it compact, and wipe out the inside with a damp cloth; a bin left with food debris is what causes a smell. Wash the whole unit with warm water and mild soap, and avoid solvent cleaners, which will cloud the plastic. Check the lid hinge periodically, since that is the part that takes the most handling. Do not put liquids in the bin, and do not place anything heavy on top of it.
Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my car?
It is designed for a wide range of consoles, but shapes vary between models. Measure the space you have, including the height under any armrest or overhanging trim, and check against the unit’s dimensions.
Can I use it in the rear as well?
It is designed for the centre console area. A second unit at the back is worth considering if rear passengers have nowhere for drinks.
Does the lid stay closed?
It is a lidded design intended to keep the contents out of sight. Check the hinge and the lid action after fitting, since a console that shifts can affect it.
Is it easy to clean?
Yes. ABS wipes clean and can be washed with warm soapy water, which is the advantage over a fabric bin that permanently absorbs a spilled drink.
