Design a practical kitchen recycling center
Make recycling easier by providing bins in the kitchen.
Ideally, a kitchen recycling center includes separate containers for paper, plastic, metal, and compost. Storage for recyclables can be incorporated into cabinets or placed in a pantry or mudroom. A dedicated recycling center helps homeowners practice an environmentally responsible lifestyle. Some communities don't require sorting, making it unnecessary to provide a number of separate bins.
