Office sized, not kitchen/home sized

The bin is too narrow to be used as a household bin and small enough to hold some of it. We have to empty it often. However, the symbol on the side makes it easy for guests to identify which can is recyclable. It's also pretty durable. If you don't use a lot of recyclables or don't recycle things like cereal boxes often, this might be a good thing. Paper is good for the office. For the price I don't regret the purchase but will look around for something more.

Pros
  • MADE IN USA: Recognized as Brand of the Century, Rubbermaid is one of only 100 companies to have impacted the American lifestyle. Rubbermaid trash cans are manufactured in Winfield, Kansas.
Cons
  • I don't remember

A must for those who need to recycle.

I like everything about this recycling can except that it arrived warped at the bottom and is therefore crooked. It's really driving me crazy. Also, I'm a little confused by the complaints about the lid design. It fits in a standard trash bag (if you plan to use it that way, even if it's a trash can) and the lid swings great. If you can't open the lid low enough to throw a recycle (when you push down) just throw it from the back where the lid comes up. Or maybe push in at the back so the lid…

Pros
  • RECYCLING LOGO: Clearly marked with the recycling symbol to enhance recycling.
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Lids CAN BE INCONVENIENT

Everyone in my family loves them and wants to know where I got them from. With that being said, I'll let you know that I bought 2 of these, one for paper and one for cans. Both have the same problem, they only fill to a certain level (3/4 of the way) and then have to be emptied because the lids won't close. The ones I use for cans I have a bag (13 gallon bags fit fine). I'm one of those days when we haven't wasted anything and having to throw out an incomplete bag is a little concerning. for me

Pros
  • LARGE CAPACITY: Large 12.5 gallon capacity is convenient for home recycling to reduce trips to empty bins.
Cons
  • A long time ago
