Trimming Tray
A dedicated work surface for harvest day — raised edges to keep clippings where you put them, a removable fine-mesh screen, and a smooth base that wipes clean.

This tray is not orderable at the moment. We would rather say so plainly than leave you clicking through to a dead listing. If you landed here looking for it, the page below covers what it is and what to use in the meantime.
- Deep, raised edges keep clippings contained
- Removable fine-mesh screen lifts out for cleaning
- Smooth surface wipes clean and resists sticky buildup
- Comfortable working size for long sessions at the bench
- Ships with a scraper, a brush and a magnifier card
Why a tray earns its bench space
A tray is the least glamorous tool in a harvest and the one that changes the day most. The argument for it is simple: the mess has to go somewhere, and if that somewhere is not decided in advance, it becomes the table, the floor and your clothes.
- Everything stays in one place. Clippings collect in the tray instead of scattering, which means clean-up is emptying one thing rather than wiping a room.
- The screen separates as you work. Fine material falls through and collects underneath instead of staying mixed in with the trimmings.
- Your hands stay in one zone. Raised edges give you something to work against, which matters more than it sounds like over a three-hour session.
- It wipes clean. A smooth moulded surface with no seams takes a cloth and alcohol far better than a table does.

Keeping it clean
Residue on a tray hardens over a day or two and then needs solvent. Clean it while the work is fresh and it takes a minute:
- Empty and brush out the tray and the screen while material is still loose.
- Wipe both with isopropyl alcohol before anything sets. The scraper is for the corners where a cloth cannot reach.
- Let the screen dry fully before it goes back in, so nothing sticks to it in storage.
- Store the tray flat. ABS holds its shape well, but a heavy load on a tilted tray will bow it over time.
Questions people ask
When will the tray be back?
There is no date we can honestly give. The listing is under review with Amazon rather than out of stock, and that process does not run to a schedule. This page will change when the situation does.
What should I use instead right now?
A large shallow baking tray with a lip does most of the job. You lose the screen and the clean moulded surface, but the main benefit — containing the mess in one place you can pick up and empty — is most of the value.
Is the screen removable?
Yes. It lifts out for cleaning, and the tray works as a plain work surface without it.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
We would not. ABS softens with heat and a dishwasher cycle can warp a large flat panel. Warm water, a cloth and alcohol are enough.
