Advertisement Feature & Review - Green Pod Recycling Bins

The Green Pod Recycling Bins is a brilliant new way to sort, store and transport your home recycling all in one convenient recycling bag.

Recycling our home waste is a super important way to contribute to a more eco-friendly lifestyle.

But unless you have proper recycling bins for home then all those empty jars, bottles and cans along with stacks of paper and cardboard can become annoying and unsightly to look at.

The Green Pod is a brilliant kitchen recycling bins system which you can easily fit into your kitchen, utility room or just by the door.

The Green Pod has three separate compartments inside the outer bag so that you can sort your home recycling and pop it into the correct section ready for taking to the recycling centre.

Review -The Green Pod Recycling Bins

We've been trying out The Green Pod at home to see how easy to use and convenient it is.

Step One - Setting Up The Green Pod

The Green Pod arrives folded up ready for you to put together at home.

It's super easy to put The Green Pod together - there's step by step instructions on the The Green Pod Recycling Bin website with easy to follow diagrams.

  • sliding the black inserts into the recycling bags to make them stand up in sturdy square. Text overlay reads "advertisement feature"
  • attaching the inner recycling bags to the velcro strips inside larger recycling bag. Text overlay reads "advertisement feature"
  • three inner recycling bags inside the larger outer recycling bag. Each inner bag has grey straps for handles.Text overlay reads "advertisement feature"

The sides of the recycling bag unzip and you can slide in the inserts, this creates a sturdy bag which will hold all your home recycling securely in place.

Once the outer recycle bag has been put together the cardboard/paper bag and the tins/plastic inner bag just velcro into position.

The recycling bag for holding the glass is padded and has inserts so that it is extra sturdy and to prevent the glass from breaking.

All three bags just slip into place easily and quickly.

Step 2 - Using The Green Pod

When looking for recycling storage ideas, I think you'll be really happy with The Green Pod recycling bins.

Each of the inner waste collection bags is around the same size as a shopping bag, so you can fit plenty in.

The added benefit of The Green Pod recycling bins is that the outer bag zips up completely so if you don't want to see the recycling, then it can be zipped up and totally hidden out of sight.

Step 3 - Emptying The Green Pod Recycling Bins

The inner recycling storage bags are such a convenient size it's easy to just pick one up on your way out and carry to the recycling bins when it's full.

Alternatively you can zip up the outer pod bag and easily pick up using the sturdy handles and take the whole lot to the recycling centre in one go.

We think if you're looking for kitchen recycling bins then The Green Pod recycling bins make a great choice!
