Recycle binds

Where did you find yours?  Does it have multiple dividers?  Is it something that you would put out in your kitchen?

 We have an open house plan with only one location for a trash can/recycle binds.  The only cans I have found (at a reasonable price) have 2 compartments.  I really need one with 3 to 4.

Re: Recycle binds

  • Do you mean bins? Can you put your trash bin under the sink? We keep our recycling bin outside on our porch since our kitchen is so small. but we can mix everything together it does not have to be separated.
  • I've just been using a bag in the closet.  I empty it and sort into outdoor containers at the same time once a week
  • We have single-stream recycling, so we can put everything together.  For your situation, I really like these totes

  • We just use the bin the city gave us and keep it on our front porch- we sort the plastics into a paper bag and set it in there and then paper just goes straight in.

  • Ikea has loads and loads if you have one near you. We have very extensive recycling. We use grey Ikea roll out bins under the kitchen sink and bags in the closet.
  • I will try Ikea. 

    We don't have a closet or pantry.  We live in the country and there is no city recycling program.  I take the recycling to a center that is a good drive, so I don't want to make the trip too often.
