Giveaway: Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler

Honestly, I have to say i'm guilty of not recycling. It's not something that my family did. I don't recall anyone ever putting much emphasis on it as far as people around me go. I mean I can vaguely remember a school field trip, perhaps to a museum (?) where it was explained to us how the process works.

I recently heard the buzz about the Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler out in the blogiverse, and wanted to see what all of the hype was about. Someone was so kind to share contact information for bloggers who were interested in doing a review. Completing the questionairre for this review got me to thinking I could at least give it a try. Maybe my kids will catch on and pass it on.

Whether you're a current recycler or looking to start, then I think you are going to like the convenience of this recycler by Rubbermaid. It arrived and this is what it looked like in the packaging:


And then I unpackaged it:


I was impressed to find out that it can hold 36 uncrushed cans and it's wide enough that gallon sized milk jugs can fit into it. I also liked that it's lined with a plastic resin, and if things get to dirty, it's also machine washable. It was also really easy to install:


If you don't like the hooks over the cabinet doors, you can also purchase screws to screw it onto cabinet doors.

The Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler is available for around $18. It can be purchased at select retailers and also online.

  1. I do recycle... I don't know if I have any advice for a recycling newbie, except that it's so easy. There's really no reason not to, and it makes you feel good :)

  2. I do recycle and I'd say to start small and make an area just for your recycled items...and don't let them build up too long.

  3. I recycle and I would tell someone to find out what services are available in their area to help them. Sometimes areas offer free pick up, or you have to pay or you can drop off recycs at a center.

  5. I'm having a difficult time with the reply button here, but @Kate, @JR911 and @kellyr I do want to thank you all for the advice. My oldest son is really excited about giving this recycling thing a try. I have yet to find out if it costs and to contact our disposal company for a recycling bin like the ones I see at some of the houses in there area where I live. @Debra that's great too. My mom is an upcycler and I know that I can learn a lot just by watching her.

  7. I recycle, I find it easier to separate the different types of recycling before hand so you don't have to sort through it later
