4 recycled bins for your recycling rubbish

That's 'recycled' bins, not 'recycling' bins. Even here at SmartPlanet we recognise that some things will need to be put into a normal bin -- but even those could double up for recycling. But the question is: why should that bin be made from nasty plastics or increasingly rare metals? There are alternatives out there, and some are quite stylish. Click on to see my four faves.

Mini swing bin
Made from 100 per cent recycled plastic, the mini swing bin is good for under a desk or the bathroom, since it's only got a five-litre capacity and you don't want to be emptying it too often. It's available from Ecocentric for £7.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
