I was very excited to receive this trash/recycling bin to help organize some of the chaos in our lives. This was probably the best decision I could have made. Usually we would toss bottles and cans in trash bags and they’d be all over our basement until recycling day. Not anymore! This holds several months with of bottles and cans and a few weeks worth of trash. The material is like a coated corrugated plastic that sets up very simply and is durable and cleanable. It also comes with labels to mark recycling and trash if you would like. We preferred not to use those as we just use this at home. I think everyone should have one of these in their basement/garage!
