I've had my eye out for a nice stainless recycle bin for a while.  I have a stainless steel garbage can and wanted a recycle bin that looked just as nice, but was obviously not for trash.  This looks fantastic! So much better than the little blue wastebaskets we were using.  It holds a significant amount of recyclables!  The blue top comes apart and has two pieces to it- one to hold a trash bag on.  So if you wanted to put a bag in your recycle bin you certainly can, though where I live recycleables must not be put in bags, so I took off that little ring and tucked it away for now.  The recycle label on the front of the can is a magnet that you can move and/or not use as you desire.  I have it on mine because I think it looks nice.  SO simple, but gosh, this recycle bin looks nice in my kitchen.  Holds a 13 gallon trash bag.
