Description
More and more items can be recycled these days, which means bins fill up quickly. To keep it all neatly stored and organized--and to prevent messy overflow, this home recycling center comes in handy. Its mechanical compaction system reduces the space some items take up in the bin, making it possible to store up to three times more than a typical bin of the same size. Its one-step compactor effortlessly crushes aluminum cans, 12- to 24-ounce plastic beverage bottles, quart- and 1/2-gallon plastic jugs, and even 2-liter bottles. Compacted items then drop down into the unit's 8-gallon bin, which also provides space for glass, metal, and other non-compactable items. In addition, a second 5-gallon paper bin holds up to two weeks worth of newspapers, and it comes with a bulk-mail divider, which makes it easy to collect different types of paper. For added convenience, the recycling center comes equipped with a recycle-day alarm that can be set weekly or bi-monthly for convenient reminders. The removable bins nest together for hassle-free carrying when it�s time to empty items into the city's recycling receptacle. Two recyclable bin liners come included as an extra bonus. The recycling center measures 15 by 17 by 30 inches.
