This is the opposite to most recycling gear - shiny, desirable and handsome enough to actually warrant a place in your kitchen. Yes, it's essentially just a 33 litre kitchen bin, but it's a useful one with a segregated and ventilated removable 10 litre composting section. Plus it's got a spring lid, which is good. Is it just me or do the pedal-operated ones always die eventually? The Brabantia 33 Litre Twin Bin is £71 to your good self from Home Recycling.
