Newspaper Recycling Bin from Reclaimed Wood
My parents subscribe to three separate newspapers (they haven’t yet bowed to my suggestion of just reading the news online), so needless to say they have a lot of newspapers to recycle. Eventually the papers make it down to the big green recycle bin in the garage, but they spend some time in a laundry basket in the living room first (until said laundry basket is overflowing with papers and must be taken downstairs to the big bin).
It’s not a terribly attractive laundry basket (read: dollar store find), so maybe I’ll get them this bin from Viva Terra instead.
The “Barn Wood & Chalkboard Bin” is made from reclaimed wood and has a chalkboard attached, so you can write the contents on the side. (Yes, the chalk is included too.) It’s certainly a more attractive piece of furniture than a laundry basket stuck under a side table.
It’s $55 at Viva Terra.
