The ecopod Streamlines Recycling
Post by Meghan Scott
The real trouble with condo and apartment living is the lack of storage space — when it’s time to pack up camping gear or that deck-size beer can trebuchet, there’s no basement or garage where you can tuck your precious junk out of sight. I mean, just look at recycling bins: you get three different tubs for sorting, but where’s the extra real estate in your apartment to keep it all during the week?
Check out the ecopod e1 Home Recycling Center (backed by BMW Designworks), a one-stop shop for household (or office) recycling. The top loading aluminum can and plastic bottle compressor activates with the touch of a pedal to quickly compact and release recyclables into the capture bin below. Extra removable storage containers help you wrangle the junkmail and beer bottles, too. This heavyweight helper is actually a lightweight — standing 31″ tall, 16″ wide x 21″ deep, this 50lb wonder easily tucks into the corner of your kitchen or pantry.
