Separate your recycling fast

The Three Section Recycle Bin

I've thrown recyclables into the trash more than once: if I don't have a place to put a bottle separate from cans or newspapers, I don't want to worry about it. I certainly don't want to stick all of my recycling into just one bin. Sorting it back out again is time consuming, and can be a little gross. Ideally, I'd like to have three different recycling bins in my kitchen--but there's absolutely no room for them. However, the Three Section Recycle Bin provides a space-saving option that will fit in my kitchen.

The Three Section Recycle Bin contains three plastic buckets in a single stainless steel frame. Each bucket has a lid that corresponds to a foot pedal: all you have to do is step on the appropriate pedal (they're labeled for convenience) and drop your recyclables into the correct container. On trash day, you can easily pop out the three buckets and dispose of your already sorted recycling.

The Three Section Recycle Bin is 19 inches tall by 24 inches wide by 19 inches deep--not too much larger than your average trash can, but heavy enough that you don't have to worry about an eager pet tipping it over.
