Rubbermaid 2 in 1 Recycler ~ Review & Giveaway



As a busy mom of three, one thing I am always looking to do is make daily tasks a little easier. Whether it be cleaning the house or reducing the clutter...finding products that are made with the busy parent in mind are much appreciated! And, when it comes to clutter...that specifically means my kitchen! It seems our kitchen is the catch all for mail, dirty dishes, snacks...even recyclables. Our recycling containers have always been in our garage, and although that's not too far from the kitchen...it usually means things end up sitting on the counters waiting to get taken out. I've always thought how nice it would be to have an easy way to sort these items without having it look like an eyesore in my home. Thanks to Rubbermaid, I now do!
Rubbermaid agrees that recycling matters, which is why they have a line of great products perfect for almost every need. Whether you live in a tight space, or need a better way of sorting out recyclables and making it an easier task....you're sure to find something that suits your situation perfectly.

As someone who has owned many Rubbermaid products over the years, I have always been very impressed with the quality and functionality of their products. That's why I couldn't have been happier to learn about their recycling bins and that we were going to have the opportunity to review one!

After taking a short survey, it was determined that the 2-in-1 Recycler would be the most useful in our household.
 
When it arrived, I was immediately impressed with the quality. Once again, Rubbermaid did not disappoint. I can tell this is something that will last and last. The 2-in-1 Recycler is also attractive and not something I mind having in my home. It's sleek and simple.
Of course, aside from it's visual appearance, this product has a great deal to offer.

Features/Benefits:
  • Contain trash and recyclables all in one location or sort your recyclables
  • Sleek design blends into kitchen décor
  • Features LinerLock™ bag management in lower bin
  • Removable lid
  • Fold-away handles
  • 5.8 gal sorting bin
  • 7.4 gal tilt out bin with Liner Lock™ handles
  • Total capacity = 13.2 gal
  • Perfect for multi-stream or single stream recycling

The one thing I appreciate most about the 2-in-1 Recycler is that it keeps recyclables off my counters by giving them a place to live in the kitchen. I no longer have them sitting out until someone has time to take them to the garage, I can simple put them in the bin, hidden and secreasing the clutter in our home.

Another neat feature is that the bottom has a tilt out bin which can hold a standard 8-gallon trash bag. If you like to put your recyclables in a bag, or want to use it for trash...this is a great feature to have. There's even LinerLock bag management so your bag stays put and does not slip. I LOVE it!
I absolutely love that there two compartments in one. We can choose to either use one as our recycle bin and the other for trash...or even better for our household...use both to sort our recyclables (plastic, glass, etc).
Both the top bin and the bottom bin have a convenient handle and can be taken apart. This is great when the bins fill up and they need to be transported to our garage where they are stored until pick-up.
 
I have found it much easier to carry out our recyclables a couple of times a week, rather than every time we use something. It has made recycling easier and more convenient which is great for any busy household.

Buy It: You can purchase the Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler for $39.99.
