Recycling Organizers

Yesterday, I spoke with a friend who said she tries to recycle glass, plastic and newspaper, but she hates the unorganized mess it makes. The conversation inspired me to search for recycling organizers that might help her and the rest of us enjoy recycling as part of a green lifestyle.

Turns out, there are all sorts of products on the market for organizing recycling materials. My favorites are stacking recycling bins. This style allows you to save precious space, and still separate glass, plastic, aluminum, and paper.

Other green home ideas for recycling include buying a few stainless steel trash cans and dedicating each one to a particular recycling material, or installing an under-cabinet, slide out waste bin with two compartments- one for trash and one for recyclables.

Don’t forget, you can build or create you own customized recycling organizer with a few plastic organizer bins and a wooden rack or bookshelf.

The stacking recycle bins shown above are available at Brylane Home for $39.99.
