If you go to start > Help and Support > Index (at the top)> type in recycle > adding icon to desktop. It will walk you through it (I hope). I never heard of recyle bin being deleted before but I guess it can happen.

I don't agree with the above posters.... When we moved to our current home it came with a compactor and i gradually came to really appreciate it, could toss garbage as i cooked just by stepping on the pedal without touching anything with icky hands :I had three young kids and also cooked complete dinners nightly. When we planned our kitchen reno I really wasn't going to bother with a compactor but DH really wanted it since trash goes out only once a week :We did get a new one and I do have to remark that it is nowhere as well made as the one we tossed. Very flimsy compared to the sturdy Kenmore. We really don't need it since at this point we have one out of the house and two in college so its just us during the school year but i figured it was a small thing to make the DH happy. With 5 kids you will probably only have to empty it twice a week which for busy parents is a good thing!!(we also are bigggg recyclers) I'd vote yes.

Hostagrams, is there anyway you can find another tri can spinner for your new home? I think I'd be tempted to take the old one with me. If you're home hasn't been sold yet take it out before you show it again and it's legally yours unless already stipulated in the sales contract. Thanks for the link too! Plow, sounds like you have a great system going for you. Along with your recycling service. I do say I miss it coming to our home like it did in the city, but it's nice to know here it helps support 4H. It's worth the drive into town. Cyn, now that you mention numbers one and two I should ask if they do more. I was only going by what the city took. Hubby just went up this past Saturday so it will be a few weeks before we go up there again, but maybe they have a website I should check. I'm glad you mentioned that. Thanks! Seasyde, thanks for the link. I'll check that out. I'm so tired of having to cruch them by stepping on them. Hubby has been doing it lately since I wear my Bass thongs all summer long and they and crushing just don't go together. I'd either twist my ankle or hurt the shoes, though they are sturdy (I replace them about once every decade) I don't want to take the chance. Mommabird, you don't mean Columbus, Nebraska, by any chance, do you? Jak 1 sounds like you have a great system too. We have bins just out side the door to the garage, but we were lucky and found a drawer type unit that works great. Never thought of adding shelves right out side the door for purchased bins. At the time we bought ours we were having trouble finding anything aimed at recycling. I'm guessing it's easier now. We found the bin storage at Home Depot for only $19.99 about five years ago. As you can see it's double that now at Wal Mart. Here is a link that might be useful: Sterilite stacking bins

Does anyone have a large 2-compartment trash can they like and can recommend? I've had it with my pull-out trash cabinet and want a can. Pull-out trash cabinets are great when you don't have a better spot, or when your family aren't slobs, but that's not the case here. I want one with two regular full sized bins, with one lid for them both. (If the lids don't open together, I can just get two separate cans which are easier to find.) There are a few SimpleHuman models with the single lid, but they are a bit small. Any suggestions? Thanks!
