Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler Review + Giveaway

A really long time ago (think months), the nice folks over at Rubbermaid sent me a Hidden Recycler to test out and tell you about.  I am a horrible blogger and totally missed the due date.  Luckily those nice folks at Rubbermaid are understanding.  So today is the day!  Better late than never, right?

434

Let me tell you how recycling works at our house.  We throw everything onto the kitchen table until I decide that I can’t take it anymore and haul the stuff out to the garage.

462

I love when I get comments about how we have everything so together.  If by “having it together” you mean crumbs, dead flowers and trash on the table (and missing blogging deadlines), then yes, we have it all together.

Nate thinks we have a recycling fairy and there is no need for recycling assistance.  If only this recycling fairy thing was true…

Ike and I decided to test out the Hidden Recycler. We thought underneath the kitchen sink would be the perfect spot.

452

The Hidden Recycler can be installed with screws or hung on the door.  It is a 5 gallon bag with a leak-proof liner. The bag is also made from recyclable material, and the product is recyclable.

One of the best features of the product is the detachable bag that allows you to easily take it your recycling bin…in your pajamas.

459

Nate still thinks we have a recycling fairy.  The recycling fairy thinks the Hidden Recycler is a handy product to have in our kitchen.  Now I only have to work on the crumbs, dead flowers, and blog deadlines!

Would you like to win a Hidden Recycler of your very own? 

  • PRIZE: One Hidden Recycler
  • TO ENTER: Leave a comment telling me if you believe in the recycling fairy or if you are the recycling fairy!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Sunday, May27th 11:59 CST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • OTHER STUFF: The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Tuesday, May 29th!

Disclaimer: I received my Hidden Recycler for free.  I was not compensated to review this product or for this giveaway.  All opinions are 100% my own.  Yo.

    Oh my gosh...I laughed so hard when I read this! Piles of garbage on my kitchen counters (and I thought I was the only one) until I finally break and can't even open the door to my garage because I have so much in my arms. My husband can't seem to find the recycling bin (though he's incredibly helpful in every other way, so I can't gripe). I am the recycling fairy.

    hahahaha my husband doesn't think we have a recycling fairy, he just doesn't think we recycle that much. me - we need a bigger bin for the recycling, husband - why, it's not like it ever gets piled up too much, me - and why do you think that is?, husband - because we don't recycle that much ... on second thought, my husband does think we have a recycling fairy!!!

    Ha - as THE recycling fairy in my house I would love one of these. I'd put it right under the countertop where all the empty cans & bottles go to hang out while waiting for me to take them on that magic ride to the garage!

  13. LisaTTravelsMay 25, 2012 at 7:42 AM

    I love that and need one. It's so much better than having the extra garbage can in my kitchen that we throw all the recycling in. I make Aaron take everything out to the garage, but I am the one who puts most everything in the bin. He leaves stuff on the counters.

    I am the Recycle Fairy! This would be super awesome in my kitchen for a few reasons: 1) I dont have much counter space for my compost/recycle stuff anyways and this is perfect for under the sink 2) I had a waster bucket in the kitchen that sat on the floor, but my baby Dino has now GOTTEN into it and created a mess.
    This would be a huge problem solver!

    Love! We take turns being the recycling fairy in our house. It was my turn to believe this week! However, our recycling lives on the floor of the dining room in an old rum box from BevMo.

    My husband and I share fairy duties. This looks great! Our method is to throw all the cardboard from boxes on the floor by the trash can in the kitchen and after kicking it a few dozen times, take it out to the recycling bin. At least yours is up and not in the walking path.

    I totally believe in the recycling fairy. Sometimes I wear the wings and sometimes it's the hubster. Either way, we recycle a lot!! In fact, we recycle so much that we were able to cancel our trash service and we now take one or two bags of actual waste to the dump every two weeks! Although our last name in Black, we think GREEN :)

    Best promotional blog post ever. Seriously. I sat here and I read it all. Yup. Was hoping to get a glimpse of that recycling fairy. We must have different ones, though.

    My recycling fairy wears jeans. And when there is no recycling to recycle, he does double duty as the laundry fairy. I wonder how long I would need to go without vacuuming before he was forced into duty as the vacuuming fairy?

    We have so much recycle stuff it isn't even funny. And I'm the recycle fairy and sometimes my recycle fairy wings are broken because I, at times, find it easier to stuff everything into a black plastic bag and go burn it. And that is why I blow at cutting down air pollution.

    So I think a recycle bin, that I don't have to see would be handy dandy!
