**Recycling Bin** is a female contestant in *Animated Inanimate Battle.* She's a member of Team 3.

## Appearance

Recycling Bin is a small plastic blue recycling bin with a symbol containing 3 arrows white forming a triangle on her.

## Personality

Recycling Bin cares a lot about the environment, and wants to help it as much as she can, and even has a trash collection which she collects to save the earth, though this was thrown away by Oodle in the The Pilot and has not been mentioned or seen since. Because of her dedication, she worries about impending environmental disasters constantly, basing most her motivations and opinions on what is or isn't good for the environment, such as her stance on donuts being bad, or her opinion on Cinnamon Bun.

She also has a grudge against contestents of her team that she judges as "useless" or "disadvantaged", mainly Teabag, judging her for her lack of arms and legs, and as of recently, Cinnamon Bun, mainly because Cinammon Bun is a kid, which seems to be ironic since she is armless.

She is very rude and spiteful, referring to Cinnamon Bun as a "thing" and laughing at Teabag's loss in An Ice Beginning, though she seems to feel guilty after realizing she died.

Recycling Bin is often very rude and irritated, and rarely shows any other emotion that isn't malice or anger, only smiling a few times throughout the series, while also being somewhat bossy towards her team, often screaming and complaing about them.
