We love our Joseph Joseph, or Mr Joseph as we sometimes call him, when we're being more formal or addressing him with respect. I feel like the trash and recycling compartments are just the right size - compact, but still fits a lot. I love the addition of the compost bin too, but I use it separately from the trash can. I wish there was a pedal opening option for this instead of just a hand push to open and close, but that's not really Joseph's fault.
