I needed something that could accommodate both a trash and a recycling side without taking up too much space.  This trach can does have two separate bins to allow for the separation, and for the size it works, just wish I was able to have larger bins as these fill up quickly!  Also, though it is a trash can, it did arrive with a small dent in the side.  I haven't called customer service yet, but plan to, and they usually take super great care of me!
