These are a great way to keep your recycling organized and nice looking in the house. I've always hated just having everything shoved into bags until recycling day when it all goes outside. These are much nicer looking and stand up well because they Velcro together. They are easy to clean or if you prefer they will hold a paper bag nicely as well. The only thing that could make them better is if they had some sort of a solid bottom and/or flap lid.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good product to separate recycles, August 31, 2008

I was looking for an all in one recycling container that I saw in the magazine Dwell but were quite expensive ($70-$200). I found these 3 bags to be reasonably priced. The product arrived very quickly in about 5 days.

Upon opening I was a little disappointed to the flimsy quality and the bags were bigger than I had expected. One bag smelled like it was used for dirt so I am not sure if I received a returned bag. The bags are designated for metals, paper, and glass. However, you can use them for whatever your needs are. I use one for plastic bags, one for paper (cereal boxes, newspapers, magazines, junk mail, etc), and the 3rd bag I combine my plastic food containers, glass bottles, and cans. In order to keep the bags standing up you will need to connect them with the velcro and place up against a wall for support until you start filling them up with your recycles. The bags fit nicely into my kitchen closet.

Since I do not have curb side recycling, I have been driving to a local place that has recycling bins. The bags are nice to carry back and forth while being able to hold a lot of weight.

I would definitely not have these bags laying out for people to see. But if you have a closet or a place in your garage, these bags will come in handy.

These bags do all that they say they will. Organize, transport, and stand upright even when empty. I've gotten so many compliments and queries from people who see them and want some for themselves!
