Great gift for the person who is hard to buy for! It is a little pricier than most garbage cans, but remember you are helping save the planet because all of the goods going to make it aren't in the landfills, and you are helping the people who made it. Would also make a great 'gift bag' for Christmas - save the planet evn more by ditching the wrapping paper and using the wastebasket as the wrapping!



Facts from Uncommon Goods:
You can't recycle everything, but you can support recycling even as you throw things away with this handy recycled wrapper wastebasket. Handmade from excess production wrappers reclaimed from candy, chip, and snack factories, this creation adds color and style to your home and conserves resources at the same time. Handmade in Mexico by the Mazahuas, an indigenous people living in the central part of the country.

or perhaps for a cute recycling bin whatever the use; high style!

Bright, cheery, unique, handmade and recycled!! Wastepaper baskets can be such a bore - this one can cheer up any room and make use of some of our waste to boot! (via mdh2992)
