How do you deal with/dispose of recycling in the kitchen

[Trickymoments]

We have a small kitchen and so not room for another pedestal bin. We pile wrappers & comtainers to be recycled on the windowsill & then take out at end of day (usually!!).
I can't stand it as there always seems to be a pile of rubbish on view for all to see.

What do other people do?

[Emochild]

I have one of those flexi tubs that sits on top of the bin that the recycling goes in and then emptied into the wheelie bin daily

The fact that its on top of the bin reminds people to use it rather than filling up the kitchen bin

[TollgateDebs]

We have a slide out cabinet bin, with two compartments, so one for waste / one for recycling, which was a bargain from Wickes. It has a top covering the bins when they are pushed back in, so we keep cleaning supplies on this, which makes for a good use of space.

We have a 2 compartment bin with one side recycling and other general waste (we have a mixed recycling collection). My sister has a bag for life on a hook and uses that for recycling

[bushtailadventures]

I've just bought a double bin for the kitchen, so one side for recycling, one for everything else.Like this: Recycling Bin
I'm hopeful it will solve the problem of worktops covered in stuff waiting to be taken out, assuming everyone uses the right side anyway.

[Ohwoolballs]

Bag for life on the back of the kitchen door handle that gets emptied into the green recycling bin when overflowing full.
Also have a gift bag (of all things( that is sat in the bathroom for upstairs recycling like loo roll tubes and shampoo bottles, that one gets emptied every fortnight on green bin day.

[CointreauVersial]

A slide-out bin in one of the cupboards - once section for paper, one for mixed recycling,

[ExtraHotLatteToGo]

Tesco 'Every Little Helps' bag for life, next to the bin.

I'm putting a new kitchen in and would love to have the bin/recycling in a pull out arrangement in a cupboard, but it's a smallish kitchen with 3 doors & it seems like a bit of a waste of space that could be used for storage

[PlymouthMaid1]

Like others above, tough carrier bag sitting on bin and emptied every couple of days.

[StillRabbit]

Two compartment slide out bin from IKEA, one section for non recyclable waste, other for food waste. Small basket next to this bin for plastic and metal which I empty into the crate outside daily. We have a basket by the front door for paper/cardboard waste.

[kimlo]

I take it straight out to the outside bin.

[MyBreadIsEggy]

I have a plastic storage box that lives under the kitchen table. All the dry recycling gets banged in there and emptied every day or every other day

[Lighteningirll]

Pile it up on the work surface, shout at dh, take it out to bin.

[dementedma]

I have a big plastic box by the kitchen bin for bottles and cans, and another box by the kitchen door for paper and card. I take them out to the wheelie bins regularly. Everyone else just balances things up like some game of recycling Jenga. I am very pro re-cycling, but it's a pain in the arse for those of us who don't have utility rooms or garages.

[Polkadot1974]

Pile it up on the sink with cardboard slid down alongside it until it falls off then take to bin, whilst chunnering about it being me doing it again. Husband puts it in a carrier bag and ignores it.

[trickyex]

I stash it in a trug type basket and take it out every couple of days.
It does take up a lot of room.
No space for integral bins etc....

[OliveBranchCollins]

I take it straight out to the bins

[plipplops]

Plastic ikea box under sink for plastic and card, when it's full empty it into green box in garage. Paper goes in a pile next to it (under sink), we don't seem to get through much paper. Glass dumped on the side and into green box in garage when I next go outside (don't use much glass either, maybe one item every other day?)

[cheminotte]

Hessian bag hung up in under stairs cupboard for all recycling except glass. Gets emptied when full.

[Flisspaps]

I have 3 small swing lid bins on the worktop. Red for rubbish, green for recyclables, black for card and paper.

Usually the rubbish is left to fester beside them as we are quite lazy

[Nerris]

Brabantia pull out double bin, tall and reasonably deep. We have a small kitchen so didnt want recycling bags all over rhe floor. A great buy.

[Fluffy40]

Massive ikea box under work surface, gets emptied every two days or so,

[FiddleFigs]

We've got the same ridiculously expensive bin that PolterGoose has. I felt stupid for spending so much on a bin, but I have a small kitchen diner, and no space for multiple bins/baskets etc. I'm v happy to have spent stupid money on the bin.

[WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeG0es]

We have a stack of lidded boxesin the corner with craft stuff in and an open crate on top for recycling stuff (card/tin/plastics). Sometimes we've used the Brabantia double ones in holiday homes but the recycling side never seems big enough for large items such as cereal boxes and 4 or 6 pint milk bottles.
