i have a question that is going to reveal some embarrassing truths about my basic adult competency
-
-
what is a pilot hole and how do i select a drill bit. alternately, how do i find wood screws at the hardware store
-
i do not know what the material i am drilling into is but i suspect it is melamine covered particle board
-
ideally you would drill into a stud. Also wood screws are pointy at the ends
-
it's the bottom of the cabinet so i don't think it'll be a huge issue

did you drill holes with a drill bit first?
-
this seems to be the problem, embarrassingly. how do i select the right drill bit
-
it should be a little smaller in diameter than the screw

you want to pre-drill a pilot hole, using a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw

If you think that's embarrassing, I don't even know what a pull-out trash can is.

you may need to drill guide holes with a normal drill bit, just use a smaller bit than the screws

If they're not self-tapping screws, you may need to drill a pilot hole?

Looks like a good result and your choice of screw, drill, drill depth are all sound. Easy to hit direction switches, done that lots

Don't feel stupid -- none of us were born with a drill motor in our hand. We all had to learn.

it's fine not to know this if you didn't take a woodwork class in school, happy to see you asking.
