Smart and Stylish Recycling Tips 

Nowadays, most councils supply multiple recycling containers so that you can easily separate your household waste and avoid it heading for landfill.  But those bins can take up a great deal of space which can be a real nuisance especially if your outdoor area is limited. The good news is that there are a few alternative solutions if you want your recycling process to take up less room or even if you just fancy taking a different approach to using traditional recycling bins.

Introducing the Green Pod Recycling Bin

The Green Pod Recycling Bin is a fantastic new solution to efficiently separate and store all your recyclable household waste. Not only is this innovative recycling bin made from recycled plastic, it’s easy to carry around and can be used again and again – in fact, it even comes with a lifetime guarantee.

The Green Pod is a very roomy bag with internal pods so it’s really easy to fill up with  all your separated recycled waste then just zip it up to stop anything escaping and take it to your recycling centre or the recycling facility at your local supermarket. It really doesn’t matter what you put in the pods in this stylish bag because it is not only wipeable but also machine washable – at a suitably eco-friendly setting of course! It also comes with a cover to store away tidily.

So, if you haven’t got the space for multiple recycling bins or would prefer to take a different approach, the Green Pod is a really practical alternative that can be kept clean and tidy too.

How about a slide-out system instead?

But what if you would really rather keep all your household waste well out of sight? In this case, you could consider a slide-out system that you can install in one of the cabinets in your kitchen. These tend to feature two good sized bins, one of which can be used for the waste that can be recycled and the other for everything else that needs disposing of but all hidden away when the kitchen cupboard door is closed.

Or a system that’s completely out of sight?

As well as slide-out systems featuring two separate recycling bins, much more advanced systems are also available that have between one and four bins, the size of which vary depending on how many you choose to install.

No cupboard space?

If you don’t have enough cupboard space to house your recycling bins then there are other options that don’t take up too much room but will enable you to separate household waste efficiently into that which can be recycled, food waste and other general waste. A multi-bin recycling system will enable you to just that and most of them also feature an odour filter so there will be no unpleasant smells.

Cart that rubbish away!

For those with a bigger kitchen, a small island or a kitchen cart that feature built in recycling bins can be discreet but really useful. There are many different types of carts, some with shelves and drawers that offer storage space as well as recycling capacity.

Customise your very own cart!

If you’re handy at DIY then how about creating you very own customised kitchen cart with the right number and size of compartments to suit your household? It could also feature storage space as well as slide-out bins and soon you’ll wonder how you ever did without it!

Or build your own bench!

If you have a good sized porch, utility room or hallway, you could build a bench where you can store your recycling bins or maybe create some in-built storage compartments that simply pull out so you can easily recycle your household waste. Not only can you use the bench to recycle glass, plastic and paper, you can use the top of it as a handy surface for keys, bags and shoes.
