Can't find a place to put your recycling bins? Here's a simple guide on setting up a system of recycling bins in a small kitchen.
How many recycling bins do you need?
Most recycling services want different recycling materials to be separated from each other. Designating a recycling bin for each material you want to recycle will save you lots of time sorting them.
Figure out how many recycling bins you need, one for each material you wish to recycle. I recommend one each for aluminum, plastic, glass, cardboard and newspapers.
Using Space-saving Stackable Recycling Bins
Stackable recycling bins are the answer to cramp kitchen space, because they use up vertical space, instead of spreading out like fungus.
If you cannot find stackable recycling bins at your local convenience store, you can buy them online.

Using Recycling Bins that Sit in Bottom Cabinets
If you're only recycling one or two materials, I recommend buying a pull-out recycing bin system. The bins sit on sliders, which are installed in a bottom cabinet, thus remaining out of sight. When you need to recycling something, simply pull the bins out for easy access. If you're only recycling one item, use the other bin for trash.
