Mini-Recycling Bin

So, for the longest time I've been searching for a mini recycling bin to have in my room. No, this isn't because I'm such an eco-chic, it's because I'm lazy. I don't want to take my plastic bottles and masses of old paper down to the main recycling bins. SO, after little success finding stuff online that I actually like, I've decided to make my own.

I'm going to order a decal/sticker online -

And then I'm going to buy a nice small white trash bin, like this one -

Klean Kanteen

I went ahead and purchased the Klean Kanteen that I had been eying online, when I saw it on sale at the LLBean outlet on Black Friday. Almost a week later, I'm in love with it. :) It washes out easy because: a.) It can go in the dishwasher (!!) and b.) Since it's steel, you don't have to worry about it getting a soapy taste when washed by hand. It's eco! (Not only does it keep your disposable water bottle usage down, but it's also BPA free, made by a company that donates to preserving the enviroment, and lastly is made in a way that serves the earth.) It's cute, and it's multi-purpose since it works for hot and cold beverages, if you purchase the Built NY insulating cover.
