Our family recycles a lot. Between my husband’s catering business and our twins we have a lot of cans, bottles and cardboard. Right now we have been hanging a plastic bag on the back of a coat hook, filling it up and then taking it outside to our recycling bin. (https://www.winecountry.com/) Then I got asked to try this new Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler and I was pretty excited.

We’ve been using our Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler for a few weeks now and found it was easy to install, easy to keep clean and really handy for all of the recyclables we collect. It’s a great height for our boys to drop things in it which helps in our lessons about what is garbage and what is recycling.
Here’s the one we have in our kitchen:
And, one lucky reader of Family Food and Travel will win their own Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler.
Giveaway open to residents of Canada ends May 24, 2013
I use my counter, then take a load out when I go outside. This would be great!
no system =(
Right now we have a small cardboard box next to our microwave. Everything gets put in there, and then our 5 yr old takes it to the garage once fill to sort into the correct bins. It doesn’t hold all that much though, and winning this giveaway would be awesome!

Unfortunately we have no recycling system currently in place at our home. We need to change that! This would be great to win! Thanks for the chance.

We just bring out recycling out to the garage.
We pile up our recycling on top of the fridge…and take it out daily :S

We pile it on an unused spot in the kitchen and take it out at the end of the day. Or whenever it gets unruly.
I have a bin by my back entry. Looks terrible, this would be great.
We currently have a recycle bin outside. Difficult to organize.

In our municipality, each house has a very large wheelie bin to collect our recyclables. We keep ours in the garage, so every time I have something to add to it, I make a quick trip out to the garage.
We have the typical blue bins that look unsightly in the kitchen.

we just put ours in a blue box
I have two wooden boxes at the back door.
We have recycling buckets upstairs and down – and then we transfer to a larger system outside where we have it org. by various types.
We have 2 decorative bins…one for all paper and cardboard and the other for plastic, glass and metals
A small blue bin we found at the dollar store thats in the cabinet underneath the sink.
we have a cardboard box as our system
Recycling box out side, this would be very useful in my tiny kitchen.
We open the door and toss it in the appropriate bin. Such a head ache when the heat or air is on.
I recycle our left over food, the plastic and paper, I donate things we don’t need and pass on clothing that does not fit anymore
I don’t have a system :) I leave all the recycling by the door and take it out once a day
I have three containers under the sink (one’s a cardboard box). The contents get transferred to larger bins in the garage when they get filled.
i have a rubbermaid bin in my closet, but it hardly gets emptied and is always overflowing
Right now they just pile up on the counter untill one of us lazy bones gets up off our duff and takes them out to the garage. Thanks!
We use garbage bags to sort the recycling right now.
We currently have three dedicated containers in the kitchen – one each for garbage, paper/cardboard, and plastics/tins. they get emptied in to the appropriate containers in the garage when full. Also, we have a composter going. I could certainly use this Rubbermaid unit in my residence downstairs.
We are actually don’t have any. We only recycling the bottles.

Our recycling system is quite sad…Pile it all in the corner until someone ( usually ME) picks it up and takes it out to the blue bin….I know sad, right? ;-)
We use an ugly yellow milk crate.
Just a blue recycling bin!
we have 4 bins – recycle, compost, trash and stuff to take to school like newspapers, egg cartons and magazines.
use bread bags to recycle plastics
Currently I keep a basket in the bottom of our broom closet and store recycle items there.
we put everything in bags and take it out to the blue bin when we remember.
Wash and in a garbage bag to bring to the recycling store. This would be great. Thank you.
We currently just use a garbage bag for the recycling and bring that out when we bring out the garbage.
We just bring it down to the garage every time we empty a box/can/milkjug/etc

Nothing really counter top then garbage bags to transfer outside

We use blue boxes
I have to run everything down to the basement to put into the appropriate bag.
We pile everything up beside the fridge until its time to take it out to the curb :/
I just use a plain old recycling bin in the kitchen
I have a few of the blue recycling bins that we use for different type of recyclable materials. This would definitely come in handy!
I have a ‘blue box’ in the laundry room for paper, cans and glass. It is picked up once every 2 weeks. I have been shopping around for a small kitchen bin to recycle food scraps because the city will be starting to pick up those in the very near future.
I have a large reusable bag that I place the recycled items in and then after a while I take them out to the recycle bin.
Right now biodegradeable bags ..
we use a the big rubbermaid box
We use blue bags for dry recycling and green for wet recycling.
We have a box in the cupboard. It’s always overflowing.
We have a cupboard in the kitchen that I throw all the recycling into and when it gets full I empty it into a blue bin that we then keep downstairs.
We have a bin on the counter and every night our oldest takes it down to the garage and puts it away.
Thanks!

I have the recycle bins outside the back door.
I have two blue bags on the go in my back porch to sort for curb side pickup. I store what we get reimbursed for in the basement. An ice cream tub on the counter for the composter.
Everything thing that is recyclable goes in the re-usable box and then I dump into our main bin when it is full

I have a little bin under the sink :(
Ours go into blue bags so I just have 3 hooked to nails in the stairway of my basement!
we usually have a small box that gets moved around the kitchen constantly, eventually being emptied outside when it’s full…
We just put our recyclables on the counter. When someone goes outside they bring it out.
For cans and bottles I throw them down my basement stairs and collect them when I go down into a recycling bag. For all other recycling I have a recycling can beside my garbage can in the kitchen.
we have a cardbord box under the sink
We use a reusable shopping bag to take it from the apartment out to the bins
