I LOVE to recycle and can sometimes be a Nazi about it in my household. If it can be re-used, I use it. If it can't be re-used, I recycle it. It makes me feel good knowing that I am taking positive steps to ensure less trash in a landfill. So many items can be recycled and re-purposed. If every person did his/her part to take small steps in maintaining a healthy Earth, we would be much better off as a collective unit.
Recycling is one of the easiest steps you can take to a greener life. And the Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler makes it even EASIER! I was recently sent one of these cool contraptions to try out and share my opinion.

Well, for one - the bag itself is made from recyclable materials AND is recyclable itself. Pretty cool.
And it fits right under your sink in a cabinet. You can attach it by over-the-door hooks or screw it right in. I have it latched with the over the door hooks but I think I am going to screw it in for a more compact fit. I also have child proof locks on my kitchen cabinets so having two latches plus a lock makes my cupboard door stick out a bit (but it is still closed).
The head of the bag is also big enough to fit a milk jug. This is very important! If you have ever used a trash can that won't fit a milk jug, you know what I mean! The bag itself is five gallons which equivilently holds 26 uncrushed pop cans. Pretty good size! I am pleased with the amount it can hold. I only have to empty it every few days.
The bag has a LEAK PROOF liner and is MACHINE WASHABLE. Easy peasy! Plus it has a handle for easy transportation from the kitchen to the "main" recycling bin.
