Good concept, but way too small to be practical. We used ours for trash, bottles, and paper. Constantly having to change the bins because they are sooo small is a p.i.t.a! You can fit exactly four 1-liter size bottles in one bin before the cover gets pushed open. Dont even get me started on the trash bag wrestling game we had every time we needed to change it...at least once daily, but usually twice. They dont like bags.
