Blue Stackable Recycling Bin Container with Handle 6 Gallon - Bins by Recycling Rules!

Small

We have a 7ft chest freezer that we bought around 2001. As a technical person the chest freezer is better in many ways to an upright, except in usability. Finding food and getting it out has always been an issue. We tried some plastic bins but never came up with anything that seemed to work for us. Lately I came across a video showing someone using bins like these and liked that they allowed the person to use most of their space very efficiently. I found them on Amazon and ordered them. After the delivery being delayed a couple of weeks (they made trips to 3 states before getting here), we took everything out of the freezer, put in the bins, and sorted out the frozen food into the bins and the small open space in between the bins. They work great for us.Two bins go on the right, one goes on the left on top of the compressor. The open space between the bins is used for items in larger slim boxes. To find something in the top bins it is very easy. If it's in the bottom bin then it's easy to lift the top right bin and look in the bottom bin. The handles are a must, it just takes one hand to lift a bin.Overall they are great for us and our chest freezer. A little pricey but I could not find any other options that included handles like this except at the Container Store. I would assume they would work OK as recycle bins or whatever you'd use these for.

Smaller for an expensive price.

Pay no attention to the gallons measurement. These seem pricey for plastic containers, but they are sturdy yet lightweight with a unique design. Their width is slimmer than recycling containers that I'm accustomed to, and at 1st I was disappointed when I unboxed.When I saw how it works as a set and used it for about a week, I was glad I bought it. I dump the content from 2 bins into a larger container for neighborhood recycling, and I put glass in the 3rd bin for offsite recycling.

Yes, 5 stars. These are versatile containers, which can be used for a variety of purposes.I ordered the 3 pack for use in my chest freezer. At the time, there were no other reviewers who had done this, but now I see I am not the only one. Yes, they work great. They are a perfect fit for my 12 cf freezer - I stack two of them on the left, and the other in the middle with hanging baskets above it. I now have very little wasted space, and I can simply lift out the top bin to easily access the one below it.Yes, these bins stack easily by folding down the handle and creating a square footing for the bin on top of it. If not in use, they nest easily by folding the handle back up, and one bin slides right into the other - how they arrive in packaging.The material is pretty much what you would expect of any indoor trash can or recycling container - durable, yet flexible. They seem to hold up nicely in my freezer, maintaining durability and flexibility despite the freezing temperatures. I have at least 30 lbs of venison in one of these, yet I can lift it right out without any trouble or worry that it will break.There does not seem to be many things designed for use in a freezer, and what I have found is either cheaply made or too expensive for what it is. Not these, though. They may be recycling bins, but they work great in the freezer, and at this price (3 pack), each bin was less expensive and greater holding capacity than a Rubbermaid basket designed to sit in my freezer!I am thinking about ordering another 3 pack, so I can use them for recycling :-)
