Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler Giveaway
What do you do with your recycling bottles, cans, and papers? Do they go straight out to your garage? Do they accumulate on your countertop?
Rubbermaid has made a product for you that lets you collect your recycling right in your kitchen and easily transport when you are ready to take it out for recycling day.
Introducing the 2-in-1 Recycler. This neat container can actually work in 2 different ways ~
Combine as a Trash can and place Recycling in OR use both drawers to sort your Recycling.
Let me show you how it works!
- The bottom tilt out bin holds a standard 8-gallon trash bag AND features LinerLock™ bag management, so your bag stays put and does not slip
- Both the top bin and bottom bin have convenient handles when needed to transport recyclables to wherever your recycling is stored for pick-up or transport
Now instead of my regular ugly trash can and having my recycles all over the place in my kitchen, they are now conveniently together! Another step to getting me organized…lol 
oh, I also want to tell you that it is Made with Recycled Materials & is Recyclable itself!

Hubby Brought Me Home a Lot of Waste!
Â
“What am I supposed to do with all that?” I ask him.
“Well put the leftovers in the fridge,” he responds.
“Um, no. With all that packaging!” I reply.
Hubby had an event at work this weekend and went to the grocery store to buy snacks to munch on for it. It’s incredible the amount of plastic container waste the stores put out. That fruit bowl is huge! Isn’t there a better way?
Then on his way home he stops at Hardees to get a drink. A large plastic cup of a drink!
I am VERY fortunate that my city now recycles plastics up to #7 so I can just throw these containers in the recycling bin to be picked up. But what would I have done before that? What most of you probably have to do…throw them all away. Guilt!
What would you do if your hubby brought home these containers? Can you recycle in your town? Find a way to reuse them?
Recycle your Plastics!
It was announced a couple of weeks ago that my city is now recycling all plastics #1-#7. I am so excited! Most areas collect plastics #1 & #2 and if you have a Whole Foods nearby then you could drop off your #5s. But now nothing has to go in the garbage. Yay!
What household items can I now recycle from each category?
#1 plastics (PET or PETE polyethylene terephthalate)- soft drink & water bottles (though we use Brita water filter a lot!) are what my recycle container is mostly filled with. Other common ones you don’t think about as much are mouthwash, salad dressing, mayo, ketchup, bbq sauce & peanut butter jars.
#2 plastics (HDPE high density polyethylene) – milk & juice are the most widespread recycled items in this category. But don’t forget your cleaning solutions, detergent, medicine/vitamin bottles & even your contact solution.
Go through your bathroom & fridge and take a close look at the bottom of the plastic items – almost all of them fit in these two categories.
#3 plastics (vinyl or PVC) – not common at all for everyday use – siding, windows, wiring.
#4 plastics (LDPE low density polyethylene) – lids – from all the plastic kid cups from your favorite restaurants. Only #4 I could find around here!
#5 plastics PP (polypropylene) – is more common then you would think and was so glad I could drop mine off at Whole Foods. I collected yogurt containers, plastic cups the kids got with their meals, individual fruit & microwavable pasta/soup bowls, cream cheese, cool whip, & even my deodorant.
#6 plastics PS (polystyrene) – did you know you could recycle your plastic plates & cups? Yep you can! And your doggy bag containers from when you eat out too!
#7 plastics Misc – some food containers. I found an applesauce cup. Or if you are tired of watching your DVDs you can now throw them in the recycle bin! But I suggest you swap them – SwapaDVD.com
Do you recycle? What unexpected items have you found to put in your bins?
