Get Organized Month 2009 - The Mode Premium All-in-One Recycling Center


Does the clutter of recycling annoy you? It does me!

I just read a press release for a product that eliminates the clutter and gives you a place to keep your recycling until recycling day. It's called the The Mode™ Premium All-In-One Recycling Center and has a price tag of $199-299.

Here's what the website says about this new appliance:

"Sort. Store. And crush your way to a cleaner counter top. The Mode™ Premium All-In-One Recycling Center, featuring our patent-pending compaction system, allows you to hold up to 3 times more than a typical bin. The versatile compaction system crushes aluminum cans and 8 oz to 2 liter plastic bottles and jugs in one easy step that doesn’t require a plug. The paper bin is designed to help you eliminate kitchen clutter by organizing all your recyclable materials in one convenient place. Which means now you can save the planet without sacrificing counter space."





Would you spend the money on such an appliance? (If you receive this blog by email and want to comment, this link will take you back to my blog.)

Wow - I'm doing it - logging onto your blog! Its not all that hard! Even though I have the green bags from stores, sometimes I forget to take them out of the car, and in those cases, I ask to just put the groceries in the cart, and I fill the bags when I get to the car. But, when I do get plastic bags, I have a huge GLAD bag I got when I was in a consumer panel several years ago evaluating them. I stuff that big bag full of my bags and when I can't get another one in, I take it to the grocery store, and fill up their recycle plastic bag container. Sometimes I'll take the big bag inside and they'll dump it where they dump them all so I don't fill up their recycle box in front of the store. Jan
