Kitchen Upgrade: Recycling Bins

Just a quick update: we replaced our large Ikea recycling bins in the kitchen with slightly smaller, more svelte recycling bins. Check out the new trash/recycling center in the kitchen:


Those are 2 units of Ikea's Retur line (large size). We like them quite a lot.

They are screwed into the wall, and they open to accept containers (top) and paper (bottom). Then the whole drawer thing actually comes out entirely for easy emptying. I think this is a nice upgrade. They're smaller in terms of footprint, but still hold a fair amount of recycling. We've moved the big bins out to the back porch for the occasional big recycling times.
