Designer Recycling
Once it was considered counter culture. Now that recycling has become mainstream, its graduated to counter clutter, at least that’s where it often winds up at our house awaiting
sorting before being airlifted to the blue bins in the garage. This nifty item, called the Ecopod, gets the recyclables off the counter and into a neat, compact package that’s out of your vision until its time for the trip to the curb. The Ecopod, available at Williams-Sonoma, can crush about 50 beverage containers, both plastic bottles and aluminum cans. You use a foot pedal (with a child safety device) to compact the bottles and cans. The brushed stainless steel and plastic pod also has two more compartments for holding newspapers, glass bottles and other recyclables. At 31 inches high and 20 inches deep, it’s designed to fit neatly into a corner of the kitchen or pantry.
