Recycling paper storage

How do you contain your paper for recycling?

Right now, I just have a box in the garage that we dump once a week or so.

Do you have something cute/functional or something that sits out, or something that is in a closet?  We would like to move the recycling station in the house to make it more accessable.

What do you use?

Anyone can be cool, but awesome takes practice!

    Another hipster over here.

  • Basket under the end table...and ugly white plastic one that I've had forever, eh, keeps the paper off the coffee table/floor.

  • A paper grocery bag in our pantry.  There's one for glass, one for paper, one for all other recyclables, one for plastic bags, and one that holds paper bags.  Sometimes we forget to take our reusable bags, so this is our preferred method of using them. 
  • A plastic storage bin in the pantry, we put all recyclables in there and take them out to the bins in the garage once a week to sort.
  • Plastic storage bin under the sink. Put everything in there and take it to the blue boxes in the garage when it is full. For paper that needs shredding I have a brown paper bag in our office that I put it in. When it is full I shred and then put that in our compost bin.
