Perfect for my apartment space!I felt terrible that I didn't have the space to really sort my recycling before taking it to the center, but I found these and two stacked fit PERFECT in the giant empty floor area in my tiny pantry. I still have room for storage beside them and they also fit great in my cars trunk!
Looking forward to having these and eliminating the use to have to buy recycling bags at the store!

Great stackable recycling containersPurchased these in an attempt to organize our garage and our recyclables. I especially like how you can stack these containers on top of each other so it is great for smaller spaces and they are pretty sturdy. In addition, my curbside pick off does not take glass so I have to take my glass to a recycle drop off location and these recycle containers have the handles on the side so it makes them very handy to carry. I purchased two of these one for glass and the other for aluminum cans. I have had them for a couple of weeks and they fir perfect in my small garage space, are very convenient, and very sturdy when stacked. I would definitely recommend these containers!

Good PurchaseI first ordered six (6) of these bins, just to try them, and then ordered six (6) more. They have eliminated the cluttered look of mismatched receptacles in my garage, i.e. trash cans, cardboard boxes, etc., and, so far, they're working out just fine. We have to take our recycling to a recycling center where we pay by the truckload, so we wait as long as we can to take it. Having 12 bins allows for accurate sorting and they will be easy to pick up and load on our truck.

Ideal setup for my kitchenThese stacking bins are easy to stack on top of each other and store quite a bit of recyclables. It is also easy for me to take them down again when I have to go to the recycling center. They are very sturdy - so believe it when they say that they're rugged. The only thing I would change is that I would like it if the openings between the bins were a little bit bigger because that would make adding recyclables to the bin a bit easier, but I crush my plastics anyway and keep the cardboard bin at the top of the stack. I would strongly recommend these bins to anyone - especially if you have limited space.

Right choice for recyclingThese recycling bins are exactly what I
wanted in a sturdy, space-saving container. Looked at many others, but
the stacking feature was key. Reasonably priced for an item I know will last.

Best Recycling BinsThese bins are perfect for any garage. They do not require a lot of space and stack easily on top of each other. We have ours 3 high and can access each one with ease. I would recommend them to anyone looking to recycle any volume of materials.

Recycling BinsI looked for a long time and these were the best I found. I love the size. I would suggest that in the future there should be a bigger gap between the bins as you stack them. I bought three and it isn't easy adding larger items to the lower bins. We have to separate our recycling into cans, glass and plastic. If I have to add a larger item to the bin, I have to unhook them to get the item through the gap.

Great ProductWe are super happy with our purchase. They are very efficient and fit perfectly in our pantry. Holds way more than we realized, and will prevent us from having a constantly overflowing "recycle trash can." Recommend to anyone!

Sturdy, quality productThese bins are a good size for small business or household use. They stack easily but can also nest in case you need to put them away. Very sturdy.

Great for our OfficeI purchased three of these for the office to replace our old system, which was cardboard boxes overflowing with paper and trash (rather unsightly). These boxes really clean up the space and make a big difference aesthetically. I have also noticed that my coworkers have been recycling more materials than they used to. I wish the bins were a bit wider so we could stack broken down boxes in the bottom bin. Bigger boxes we have to fold up and stuff in there, which wastes some volume.

Very Pleased With BinsAfter enduring a couple of recycling systems which fell short of our needs, I shopped for bins with three criteria on mind:
1. Size. I wanted bins which would be large enough to hold at least one-week's worth of recyclables, but still small enough to easily carry and fit in my car. (Our last system was way to large and bulky.)
2. Sturdiness. No more wimpy bins!
3. Easy access. Our center's home is in our pantry, and the bins sit on shelves. We wanted bins with an opening in front, so it's easy to drop items in, and we can see how full the bin is with a glance. (The bins stack nicely, although we don't utilize that feature.)
These bins fit all three criteria! We 're very pleased!
