Recycling Bins to the Rescue

It seems that a few more people than before are recycling these days. While this may be the case people are trying to find more and more ways of organizing their environmentally friendly recycling ways, not to mention attempt to keep some of it, if not all of it, in hiding so that way it doesn’t look like their home is overflowing with trash. There are quite a few ways of going about this. One way is to put paper that you are recycling into a laundry bag and hanging the laundry bag on a hook or a nail head in the laundry room. Still interested? Keep reading…

As far as neat and organized go there are a couple of interesting, not to mention bad looking, items out there that are made for use in the kitchen to collect your recyclables. One of those items is a Stainless Steel 3 Compartment Recycling Bin that can be found on Amazon.com. Another interesting, and definitely colorful (which can be fun for kids), is the Recycle Bin Kit put out by Suncast, which again can be purchased at Amazon.com. Finally, last but certainly not least, are Double Recycle Bins on OrganizeIt.com. What makes these bins so great is that they are mounted on precision, ball bearing slides which can be installed under a kitchen cabinet or in a pantry closet.

What if you are looking some ordinary recycle bins so to speak? A very simple Deskside Paper Recycling Container put out by The Betty Mills Company is a great sidekick for computer desks. Another item out there is something called ToteCycle. Not only are these recycling bins fun but they are also stackable. Another great idea, which seems to be really catching on with people, are Foldable Recycling Bags. Gaiam puts out foldable recycling bags that are sturdy and also has a picture of recyclables go into which bag on them.

Two quick tips before I let all of you go…

If you are looking for a good can crusher for recycling or for whatever other reason that you may have try a Steel Can Crusher. Personally speaking, I’ve had one of these since I was a kid and it works great. As far as the other tip goes you may want to head on over to Barnes and Noble and type in “little green guide to recycling”. “The Little Green Guide to Recycling” by Nicky Scott and Axel Scheffler should be the first book that pops up. This book answers recycling questions with a listing of everyday household items and how to recycle them.
