Stylish Recycling Containers at Hayneedle (Giveaway)

Tweet var fbShare = {size: ‘small’,}

Going glam and being green don’t need to be mutually exclusive, especially when it comes to decorating your home. Makers of recycle bins and kitchen compost bins have started incorporating modern materials into their products, allowing consumers to have greener households without compromising their personal style.

It’s possible to incorporate green living in almost all the rooms of your home.  You find green products in all price ranges, and high-end designs like the simplehuman® CW1354 Flip Lid Recycler ($99.99) available at www.hayneedle.com.

Kitchen recycle bins are a quick and easy place to start if you’re looking for a place to start being green.  If you are not a current recycler, you will be amazed at the difference in your garbage pile when you begin recycling.  I’d say in our home about 90% of the products we consume actually have recyclable packaging.

The simplehuman® CW1354 Flip Lid Recycler is a nice decorative touch in my kitchen as well as being useful.  It has some great features:

Dual containers to separate your plastic/metal from your paper

The containers are easy to remove – and can either be rinsed out or lined with a bag

  

– No unsightly overhanging of the bags, they have a practical ‘lip’ that gets covered by the lid
– Stay open lids, so you don’t have to worry about little fingers getting pinched.  When you push it closed it closes slowly, they don’t ‘slam’ shut
– Sleek styling with a stainless steel finish that resists fingerprints

The simplehuman® CW1354 Flip Lid Recycler would be perfect for a couple or a small family, or those that choose to recycle just paper and aluminum cans.  It isn’t quite large enough for a family of four or more in my opinion, if you recycle everything from plastic milk jugs to glass jars.  Each bin has a volume of 15 Liters.

Our recycling gets picked up every other week, and this is 6 pop cans, 3 soup cans, a glass bottle, and a milk jug.  You can see that it’s already full, with one more milk jug, I wouldn’t be able to close the lid.  For us that’s just a few days worth of recycling.

The paper side was plenty large enough to hold all the paper we accumulated over a couple of weeks.

It is a little ‘short’ on the height side, not a problem for me as I’m under 5 feet.  My husband at 6 feet though, feels he has to bend down a bit to open the lids.

Don’t count this out as a recycle center for a small office, either.  More and more home offices and small businesses are taking a stand on being greener. And if they want to add extra dimension to their office space and make a bolder statement than a blue or green plastic bin, this would work well.

Greening your home can be done in multiple ways.  Hayneedle.com brings beautiful and practical accessories right into your home for that purpose.  Not only do they offer the simplehuman® CW1354 Flip Lid Recycler, there are many other options to choose from.  You can choose everything from pull-out to step-on bins or you can get a touchless recycle bin.  If you’re ready to buy a recycle bin for your home or office, consult hayneedle.com, where you can find one that matches your standards.
