We need this one-stop trash and recycling unit in our lives. Rather than having several containers for your trash and various recycling needs, the Totem 60-L Waste Separation Bin, by Joseph Joseph, incorporates a composting bin, a trash compartment, and a recycling drawer into one slim profile. It’s quite perfect for apartment dwellers—or anyone who would prefer not to have their recycling station take up half their kitchen.
Above: The bin on the top left of the unit is for composting; it can rest in the top compartment, in the bottom one, or on top of a counter. A charcoal filter inside the lid of the whole unit helps reduce odors. The top half features a 9½-gallon general waste compartment; the bottom a 6½-gallon recycling drawer. Above: The Totem 60, with the lid open, measures just 17½ by 13½ by 34 inches high. It has a stainless steel lid, powder-coated steel body, and polypropylene bins. Williams Sonoma offers it in two colors—stone (shown) and graphite—for $199.95. Bloomingdale’s and Bed, Bath & Beyond also carry them. Ready to browse more trash and recycling bins?
