Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Are bags for recycling taking over your kitchen? Can’t turn around without tripping over glass bottles, aluminum cans, and stacks of newspapers? Then the Ecopod Recycling System may be perfect for your family.

The Ecopod is operated by a foot pedal that lets you crush plastic and aluminum. The smashed items are then stored inside (up to 50 containers). Two other built-in “pods” hold newspapers, glass bottles, and other recyclables. If nothing else, this will let you keep all your to-be-recycled materials in one small corner of the kitchen.

Available from Williams-Sonoma, the Ecopod comes in black or white and costs $328.
