I hated having trash and recycling cans out in the open in my kitchen so I saw these Rev-A-Shelf under the counter sliding bins and had to have them. They simplify life in the way that I now have more room in my kitchen and my bins are not in full view anymore. I use the green one for recycling which makes it easier for my 5 year old to identify. The size is perfect for under my countertops and the sliding mechanism works incredibly well even when the bins are full.
