Recycling Rules! 6 Gallon Stackable Recycling Bin Container in Blue, Eco-Friendly BPA-Free Handy Recycler with Handle, 3-Pack

We had bought a bin exactly like these a long time ago. We recently had a housecleaning company come do a deep clean and I think it got thrown out by accident, so we needed a replacement. I looked on Amazon and saw these. I had never realized these bins could stack (since I only had the one) so I was pretty excited about that.We have a small condo and the communal recycling bins in the garage get filled up so quickly, we usually have to store recycling in our condo for a few days. This means after a few days, we have recycling overflowing into paper grocery bags outside the bin until the recycling company takes away the stuff in the garage and we can bring it down. I love that I can nest these bins and pull them out as needed. It means I can keep things looking less cluttered and create a smaller footprint from the bins until more space is needed. Once I fill a bin, j just pull it out, flip down the handle of the next one, and rest the first one on top.I also love that the bin has a handle! Makes it so much easier to haul the recycling down three floors to the garage.The bins themselves are durable, but lightweight. They aren’t huge (maybe the size of a paper grocery bag lying on its side, a little wider, but not as tall). They clean out easily with a hose or in a utility sink.Shipping was just as promised. You never know with 3rd party companies on Amazon these days. The company left a nice note in appreciation for buying from them, which was a nice gesture. Made it feel more personal. Overall, a great buying experience!

These are perfect for our needs. Most of the negative reviews I've read about these are that they are not big enough. I don't feel that it's fare to give a poor review based on people's personal size requirements and in not carefully reviewing the size they need prior to purchase. I live in a small mountain town without home recycle pickup and our only recycling center recently changed their policy to not allow sorting at their facility.We now need to have everything sorted when we bring it in to recycle, so we have six 32 gallon bins along our side yard that we dump these 6 gallon bins into. When the 32 gallon bins get full we take them to our recycling center. It saves us a lot of time from having to go back and forth to our recycling center with only 6 gallons of recyclables per type. Once two or three of our 32 gallon bins get full we take them in so that we can easily fit them in the back of our small SUV.I also like the company that makes these. I had a delightful response from their customer service when I accidentally did not order enough and needed to purchase more. They let me cancel my order and increase my bundle in order to save money from purchasing a couple more individually. They are also planning to make stickers to go on their bins for everyone's recycling types needed. We don't need stickers since we have a label maker. The standard labels from our label maker fit perfectly on the top lip of the bins so that they can easily be seen from above even when the bins are stacked.For our needs these bins are the perfect size. They don't get too heavy even when filled to the top with glass. Anything bigger and it would be trouble for my partner to carry them due to back problems. I also really like the way they stack in and out of use. We have four of them stacked along one cabinet in our kitchen, and two more stacked along another, narrower cabinet, allowing them all to fit perfectly in the space we have available for them.I would purchase these again and recommend them to anyone that needs to sort their recyclables. I could also find these useful for hobby and craft purposes.

I would recommend really paying attention to the dimensions. They were a little bit smaller than I thought they would be even after measuring, but they stacked nicely, fit in a good space and allow me to sort recycling without issue.

I gave this product a four star, only because they were wee bit smaller than expected and at the time of purchase (about three years ago now) there were not photos depicting the scale and exact dementions. I however, also blame that on myself as well, because at the very bottom of the product page was the dimensions and I didn't sit down with a ruler and figure them out....I seen "6 gallon" and was like yay, like a normal container.....lol. As of being sturdy, they are great, I agree that there were no specifications as to how high to stack them, but I like even.....so I stacked them two bins high by three wide. Upon receiving them my then one year old climbed into the top one, they did not buckle, didn't topple over (which I was terrorfied that would happen, so I sat near her) and they were great. I ended up not using them for recycling due to the size being smaller than expected (my idea was to have them full and left by garbage can for recycling) so I use them in my pantry. One I do use kinda for recycling for newspapers for annual use in the garden. The rest hold potatoes, onions, etc. they work great for organization. Also if you are craftsy like myself I just spray painted them to cover the logo and create "labels" on them to make them work well in the pantry and also organize them. Great product. The reason I gave a 4 star was the lack of description in detail when I purchased it, years ago. On the delievery we received them literally just a day or two after ordering which was exciting. (Normal delievery of items by two to three days cost extra, not for this company!)
