Dust-bin, buckets, baskets and containers are for recycling. Whatever, the garbage bin has become an integral part of our furniture. From the kitchen to the bedroom, the bathroom in the study, our “garbage grinder” can do their jobs in style. It’s why more and more artists and designers from all over the world are satisfied to bring containers and bins for recycling more and more original.
greenMe has repeatedly presented baskets super environmentally friendly, as Fabriano, the waste paper basket, paper, designed by Riccardo Nannini, Emanuele Pizzolorusso Domenico Orefice, presented in Milan as part of the “dismettiamola”, the exhibition of the Show Furniture was designed especially to containers for waste design.
But here’s to you a wide range of environmentally friendly recyclers that will surely make everyone happy, stylish from traditionalists, from minimalist to the most demanding. We chose the 10 most bizarre.
Top 10 most bizarre bins for recycling
1. An “egg” tricolor
its Officially described as a “secret container of waste.” It is a rather eccentric but clever design and it’s all made in Italy. Designed by Italian architect and environmentalist and Gianluca Soldi presented at the London Design Festival, “Ovetto Recycling Bin” is the “trash” for waste bins. Its structure allows for 3 different containers: one for paper, one for plastic and one for other waste. A product that given the size and shape, finds its highest expression in large spaces where it becomes a decorative element, but it’s not that functional.
A project is which helps to separate collection at home in order to educate people to dispose of waste and to recycle them accordingly. “Ovetto differentiated”, to quote Italian-style, is divided into three compartments, which are divided into three different colors matching the color of the external bins for recycling. Each compartment has a port for extracting the color of their bag too colorful and a little door opening for the insertion of the refusal. At the center, above, was added to a plastic squeeze bottle to reduce floor space. But the materials are in line with the product. Egg, in fact, is made of polypropylene polymers which come from recycled materials by mimicking a 20% to a maximum of 60%.
2. Baskets on the street
A great way to advertise their products and encourage people to recycle presented Adidas. Just outside a shop in Paris, the company has created containers for recycling to 10 feet high. Yes, just like a regulation basketball basket! There are images that show the locals what really should make the jump to lay waste, but a basket to 10 feet cannot fail to attract attention, especially for those people who always try to do the “center” when launching a denial by far!
3. VIP Baskets
A basket that could become the subject of a charity auction, perhaps no one expected it. But when the VIP bin in question is called the father of all the foot baskets, anything is possible. Almost seventy years of age and a look without alterations, also because, in the words of its designer Holger Nielsen, good design never goes out of fashion, at the auction in favor of the Chernobyl Children’s Project International, VIP bins are been disputed.
But in this case you were reviewed and updated, or if you want to customize it. Forty famous designers including Karim Rashid and Jason Miller, and not to contradict himself, could not miss the Irish singer Bono of U2. Prices? To forget. The starting price for the baskets branded version starts at $ 10,000, but do not worry there is always one in the standard version, equally effective and much cheaper, starting at 85 euro.

Inspiration of this turkish designer Tutuncuoglu Cem, Minus was born, the trash that solves the problems of bad smell in the kitchen or bathroom and prevents the formation of bacteria due to collection of organic waste, because they retain the cold.
Do not let the name fool you, the trash can collect a lot of waste, especially food waste, in the path table to compost. Perhaps the most objectionable feature of this box probably lies in its power supply. Pettigrew, in fact, manages to hit the garbage with ultraviolet rays to eliminate bacteria and odor. A cooling system also slows down the decomposition of food. It would, therefore, more logical to work more often to empty the trash collection without wasting power, but the designer ensures that it takes more time and energy, a higher total consumption.
