To most people, garbage and recycling disposal is simply a necessary part of life that requires no flash or flair to get done; nevertheless, the Go Recycle Bin hopes to change that belief. These bins endeavor to add a bit of humor to this boring and often hated chore. This is achieved through the use of literal lids. Instead of relying on the traditional color coding system that most cities around the world utilize, the Go Recycle Bin employs sculptures of a bottle, tin can and carton to signal what should go where.
In addition to being fun to look at, the GO Recycle Bin also adds some much needed clarity to the garbage system. It was designed by Goodsspassion, a home and lifestyle brand based in Hong Kong.
