If you have bin issues or just need to keep your recyclables in a place where everyone can see them then one great idea is to find some recycling storage that not only works well but looks nice too.

Design Within Reach has these great bags that can hold your recycling and they look nice enough that they could even sit in a mudroom or other inside your house area — or you know, just pretty up the garage. Personally I keep my recyclables in the house because frankly, the garage is cold at night and far away (yes I’m lazy sometimes). So, these would be so much better looking than my old brown wrinkled up bags.

You get a set of four bags for just $22 — a steal. The perks noted by Design Within Reach include:

• Hold recyclables or use as reusable shopping bags or garden totes.
• “Made of industrial-strength tarpaulin a heavy double-warp fabric that is plastic-coated the bags are waterproof and can be quickly washed out in the sink or outside with a garden hose.”
• Color coding for easy and quick recycling.
• One bag could function as a compost holder.
• “Velcro tabs enable the bags to be ganged together in a row; handles make for easy carrying.”
• “Four interchangeable printed labels are included for use in the plastic window on the front of each bag.”
• Also, the dimensions of the bags make them an easy fit in tight areas of your home.

I’ve been thinking about getting these for some time now. I do in fact tell everyone I know about them which is a sign I should just get some. They’re such a good deal that there are really no excuses not to.
