As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, the importance of recycling our waste is increasingly apparent on both a domestic and a commercial level. Dedicated receptacles for sorting our recyclable materials are now common fixtures in our homes, schools, workplaces, and public spaces, and here we have ranked the best according to suitability, aesthetics, durability, and value.

Editor's Notes
April 23, 2020:
There is a myriad of materials that are considered recyclable nowadays, and choosing the ideal recycling bin depends largely on your requirements. On an industrial level, it is likely that volume plays a key role in your decision, and a large vessel, such as the RecycleBoxBin Triple, with its multiple compartments, or the Rubbermaid Brute Rollout, with its wheeled frame and sturdy handle, would make good choices.
Alternatively, a lot of our recycled material comes from offices, including waste paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, and plastic products. For these day-to-day items, a simple receptacle that fits under the desk will suffice, and the Rubbermaid Deskside or Umbra Garbino are well suited to this purpose.
Many of our recycling habits begin at home, and our dwellings produce a surprising amount of recyclable waste. Those looking for a suitable kitchen recycler might consider a double-bin model such as the Itouchless Soft Close, Ninestars Automatic, or Songmics Dual Step, as these provide versatile solutions that sort different kinds of waste within a single unit.
