I use the recycle trash bin in the kitchen and it is the exact same size as the normal kitchen trashcan. We can tell the difference by colors...blue for recycle and off white for normal trash. We do not have to look carefully where to throw away.
IT CAN BE USED IN KITCHEN FOR BLUE UCKET ITEMS AND EASILY CARRIED TO CURBSIDE FOR RECYCLING. IT IS LIGHTWEIGHT ENOUGH NOT TO ADD WEIGHT TO THE LOAD AND HOLDS A PLASTIC TRASH BAG WHICH EASILY FIT INSIDE. IT IS THE RIGHT COLOR AND HAS TH RECYCLING LOGO WHICH HELPS THE RECYCLING TRUCK PICK UP THE LOAD. MANY OTHER USES TO CARRY HEAVIER OBJECTS AND LOADS WHICH CAN BE EASILY STORED IN THE BACK OF THE TRUNK OR A PICKUP WHICH REALLY MAKES IT A MULTIPURPOSE ITEM WHICH EVERYONE CAN USE SINCE WEAL NEED TO HAVE PRODUCTS WHICH HAVE MANY USES OTHER THAN THE OEIT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR. ITS HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION MAKES IT WORTHWHILE TO CARRY ON TRIPS FPR STORAGE AS WELL AS KEEPING TRASH IN AREAS WHICH HAVE NO TRASH CONTAINERS.
Looking all over the place to find recycling buckets that were durable and attractive only at Staples could I find precisely what I needed. For far too long the recycling buckets that were being used in the Government offices where I work were very scuffed and dirty looking. These old buckets certainly did not leave a good impression on any visitor who frequented our premises. Which has on occasion included our State Governor. The Town Manager commended me for taking the initiative to help beautify our office facilities. The purchase of this particular product sends out a clear message that the people of our Town Offices are really conscious of our planet's future.
I use these for paper in my office and for our newspapers and catalogues at home. The kids know when they are close to full that they are to take them out to the curb recycling truck that will come once a week.Easy I also use them at office for all the paper trash that doesn't need to be shredded. Keeps the "garbage cans" free for things that need to be tossed more often.
This is a perfect size and shape for my sewing room. It holds quite a bit and the shape is great and will go anywhere. there is no wasted space with this rectangular shape like a round one would have
