We are a family that is BIG on recycling. Our city provides a 96 gallon bin that fits a ton of recyclables. We are allowed to recycle paper, cardboard, (most) plastics and glass. In addition, we can recycle aluminum, but we sell that. We put the aluminum in a separate bin in the garage until we have enough to sell. We don’t have to divide up things that go into our 96 gallon bin. But, when I got the Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler, I was beyond excited and I automatically knew that my life would be simplified as I would be making less trips outside!
My kitchen is teeny-tiny, and the entrance has a countertop overhang, so my trash can and recycle bin sit under the overhang. The 2-in-1 Recycler and my trash can don’t fit well together, so my trash can hangs over into the kitchen a little. After trying it like that for about two weeks, I decided it wasn’t conducive to simplifying things, so I moved the 2-in-1 recycler across the kitchen. It now sits next to the microwave stand. I LOVE the new location. It’s closer to the stove, so I can just turn around to throw the recyclables in!
What I love:
- I love that my kids can use the top AND the bottom without any trouble.
- I love the size of each section. The bottom is no smaller than our “before” recycle can. (Well, except I can’t over-fill this one.)
- My husband loves that there are little lips on the edges so if you don’t want to carry them by the handles, your fingers have a place to go and you won’t lose control of the container.
- It could be just me, but the bottom bin doesn’t seem to stay in it’s space very well. I would change that.
- I’d like to see the 2-in-1 offered in more than just black. (I know that’s not about the functionality …)
- Keeps recyclables off the counter by giving them a place to live in your kitchen.
- The bottom tilt out bin holds a standard 8-gallon trash bag AND features LinerLock™ ba management, so your bag stays put and does not slip.
- Both the top bin and bottom bin have convenient handles when needed to transport recyclables to wherever your recycling is stored for pick-up or transport.
- The 2-in-1 Recycler fits more recyclables while using 25% less floor space compared to typical divided containers.
- Made with recyclable materials and is recyclable.
