First off this recycling bin is made of fabric. It may not be readily apparent that this is the case looking at the photo, but it is in the item's description. It took all of 3 minutes to put it together and you do not need the directions. There is a flap at the top big enough to put bottles in and it does hold 35 bottles. The whole lid also can be pushed back to put in larger items. There is a thin bag that attaches by velcro to the inside that one can remove to empty recyclables. I have not tried to wash it yet, but the canvas outer part seems sturdy. Just remember to remove the plastic support rods first.

I thought this was a plastic recycling bin and would be very sturdy and easy to clean and was surprised when it came on a small packag and realized it is like a folding laundry basket. It has a liner but to me it’s not as sturdy and heavy duty as I thought. I got a splinter from the top frame. Looks like bamboo. When putting this together you have to insert the sticks from the top and slide them all of the way down. I am not sure how water proof this will be and it says for resistant but I am not so sure it is. I wouldn’t purchase this again. What I expected and what I got were 2 different things.

I needed a bigger recycling container this fits the bill. Not just a little basket. This stands up on it’s own, has carrier bag liner inside easy to take to recycle can outside and has flip top easy to drop items inside. Would recommend.

It is a good size for my recyclables but I don’t know how sturdy it will be in the long run. Putting it together was a bit confusing. The directions could have been clearer than what was printed on the sheet. I’m not even sure I placed the liner in correctly. It does not fit over the top of it like I thought it would, so I had to hang it on the inside. Only time will tell how well it holds up but you can fit a lot of recycle items in it.

The product looks just like the picture. I have just received the recycling bin. It was easy to put together however one of the cover straps for the bars wasn't fully covered. I 'm not sure if it is needed for the structural ability. The bin is light in weight. I'll see how sturdy it is the more I use it. It looks nice. It also has a top that you can slide items in from the top and the top lid can be lifted.
