Girlawhirl loves the streamlined and organized look of the Vessel TOP Waste Management System. With different colored tops for each of her recycling needs, she'll never again have to pick through the garbage to separate recyclables after a get-together. The fact that the bins themselves are narrow means that she can now squeeze in four where before she could only fit two regular-sized bins. And the receptacles can be clipped together, so they stay neat and tidy and if she ever has more space, she can add on.

But such cool style doesn't come cheap, so Girlawhirl's also searched out a more affordable alternative. She loves the Design Within Reach Recycling Bags. The colorful, reusable bags line up the same way the Waste Management System bins do, but when Girlawhirl doesn't need one of them, she can simply fold it up and store it until she does. Plus the handles make it easy to tote off her bottles, cans, and papers to the recycling center. They can also pull double duty as reusable shopping bags.

So whether she's looking to splurge or save, Girlawhirl's got great options to make recycling easy to do and easy on the eyes.
