  • Review of Home Recycling Bins

    Recycling has always been a great way to get rid of trash in a way that won’t fill up the already over flowing land fills.  Its something that’s easy to do and now with more and more states and cities requiring that people recycle, there have been some great new products that have shown up on the market to help us out.

    I have listed 3 different recycling bins that are each unique and have great customer reviews.  Here’s a quick summary of each one:

    Each one of these products, while helping you recycle with ease, are completely different.  The Stainless Steel Bin on the top is my favorite because of the sleek design and how well it will blend into my kitchen.  It is on the small side so for a larger family it might not be the best choice.  Plus with a price tag of almost $85 it may not be the most economical choice.  The Tower, while not as pretty as the stainless steel bin, is very  handy for a large family or for homes with not a lot of floor space.  Because the tower is obviously vertical, it’s footprint is very small and can be placed anywhere: garage, utility room, kitchen and even a closet.  I also like that you can’t see the cans, bottles and paper.  The Colored Bags are by far the most inexpensive choice at only $14.98, although it’s lacking in it’s versatility and probably won’t blend into your kitchen unless decorated in primary colors.  I love that they’re machine washable and collapsible.

    In my opinion, all three of these products are great in their own way.  The prices are probably the biggest deciding factor for me but I know they would all work well.  So wether it’s the Stainless Steel Bin, the Tower or the Colored Bags, find the one that would work best with the space and budget you have and start to be more environmentally responsible with these multi-functional bins.
