How to Choose the Right Recycling Bin for Your Home

Finding the right recycling bin is easier when you know what to look for. Start with the basics: what you recycle, how often your bins are collected and how much space you have at home.

Think About What You Recycle

Most households deal with:

  • Paper and cardboard
  • Plastic containers
  • Glass jars and bottles
  • Soft plastics or food scraps

If you regularly separate different types of waste, a dual or triple compartment bin makes sorting simple.

Match the Bin to Your Space

The best bin is one that fits your routine. A few popular options include:

  • Pull out bins that slide neatly into cabinets
  • Benchtop bins for quick access while cooking
  • Touch top or pedal bins to keep things clean and hands-free

If space is tight, look for compact styles or stackable designs.

Choose Helpful Features

Look for bins that are:

  • Easy to clean
  • Designed with removable liners or compartments
  • Colour-coded or clearly labelled to avoid confusion
  • Made with quality materials like stainless steel or durable plastic

You can also add bin liners to make emptying easier or use a composting bin alongside your main setup.

Set Up a Sustainable System That Works

Keep your bins close to where waste is created, like under the sink or next to the bench. Label them clearly and get everyone in the household involved. A simple system makes all the difference.
