Stylish home recycling bins

And by spiffy I mean not an eye-sore. Personally I don’t much care if my recycling bins look great or not – but that’s what happens when you have an outside recycling bin area. If you do need to have a home recycling center inside, say in your kitchen or garage, you may want something that looks a little nice than typical plastic bins. While a set of awesome looking bins will cost more than plastic bins, the benefit is that you won’t hide them away and thus will become a much better recycling advocate.

Following are some recycling bins that even the most style-savvy of home owners can drool over…

front load recycler – the front load recycler has a dial that turns to clearly show what’s stored inside: aluminum, paper, plastic or glass. There are two ways to get recycled goods inside – a circular opening that’s good for depositing cans and bottles and a secondary lid lifts up to reveal a wider opening that can be used for larger recyclables. This bin can be used in doubles as well – two bins will stack together neatly creating a tall recycling center.

flip lid recycler – this bin has two inner buckets with separate flip-up lids so you can sort trash and recyclables easily. The hinges on the lids are actually internal which saves space as it allow the recycling bin to fit in a tight corner or flush against the wall.

Red Steel Trash Can – this is as noted in the name a trash can, but I think it’s an awesome idea for a recycling bin too. Especially since red recycling bins are hard (if not impossible) to come by.

Trio 60 Litre Brushed Stainless Steel Kitchen Recycling Bin – very attractive and handy with 3 separate compartments to store various recyclables.
