Are you open to thinking a little outside the box? Friends of mine keep their recycling in trash cans that have lids and a foot pedal to open the lid. Two of them are fairly small and are tucked under the kitchen table and the other one is larger and sits in their mudroom. My cousin has hooks hanging on the stairwell of their cellar stairs. They sort the glass, plastic and metal into plastic bags and hang them on the hooks. (These are high enough so that they don't block the stairway and so that the dogs can't get at them.) Newspapers go in a wooden box that her husband built, right next to the fireplace. They have a gadget that rolls the newspapers into logs to burn in the fireplace. I have a tall plastic trashcan in my study for all the paper recycling because that's where I sort the mail and read the newspaper and magazines. With the recycle "bin" right there, I don't have to remember to take the paper recycling anywhere; the recycle can sits right next to the trash can. I line it with a paper grocery bag which is what my town wants us to use for paper recycling. Both cans are tucked out of sight between my desk and the wall. I have two plastic totes with handles that tuck away in a corner of my kitchen (my apartment has no other place to put recycling). They are taller and narrower than most recycling bins, so they take up less floor space. One is for metal, the other for glass and plastic (how the town wants us to sort things). I carry them out and put the contents in the official recycling bins that are shared by all the tenants on recycling pick-up day. My experience with most recycling "systems" is that there is not enough room in the bins for at least one type of recycling. They clearly assume that you have the same amount of glass, plastic and metal recycling. Sometimes the lids are cumbersome. Can you look around your home for other small spaces to put some of the recycling? Or look for any attractive containers that are the size you need? Don't lock yourself into things that are labeled as recycling bins.

AnnKH - there are two versions - a partial overlay that has a rotating door (hence why you dont see it), and a full overlay door, which would be similar to on a super susan. Since we buy in bulk, we tend to get large quantities of recyclables at once, then nothing. So I could see myself filling those containers without too much trouble. Most of my kitchen gadgets (mixer, kettle, etc) will be in the 2nd corner cabinet, which will have a super susan, so it's more a question of do I need two fo the same, or will a bigger garbage be better for us? We currently have a 50L garbage can that's not under a cab and we empty it probably twice a week...so I like the larger size. ProSource Memphis - 'party kitchen', hrm...We are using our basement as our partying emptying space, so I don't think we'd need it for that, but a space for hubbies empties IS a good idea! In our current plan, the roundable garbage can would be just to the left of the sink, so pretty easy to use, as long as its sturdy and wouldn't break easy. As for our other 'stuff' - I don't own a kitchenaid, and getting a dedicated pantry will get most of our food goods out of cupboards, so I don't get the feeling that we'll need two super susans for much. Blender, handmixer, crock pot in one shelf (if they can even support that much weight?), and probably pyrex and stock pots in the other shelf (if tall enough). I admit though, I hate the idea of the super susans because in order to rotate them you get a bunch of dead space in the corners of the cab. A simple reach-in seems more useful for what I'd need to store.

Hi @Rob Warner. Do you have recycle bags where you live? Perhaps you should remove the 9L container and hang a bag there instead? You could use (and re-use) the bag to transport the recycling to the bin you take to your curb, even if your municipality does not allow use of these bags in your bin. I know that’s not the solution you are looking for, but it could be a temporary fix. If you decide to make it permanent, you could always cut the bottom out of the 9L container and use it to hold your bag in place. BTW, Ninka may not make a deeper container, but we can’t really help you find a deeper one without knowing the dimensions of the 9L container.
