This was exactly what I needed.  You can just pull the inside bin out and carry it to the out side recycling bin. My husband would put our recycling things on the counter and once it piled up he would take it out to the garage to put in the out doors bin.  This keep my kitchen counters nice and clean from empty water bottles. This bin fit perfect in the space I had available for it.  The only reason it did not get a five star is because it was dented on one side but not enough to send back.
