A waste recycling bin (10) has a first compartment (12) adapted to receive recyclable waste paper, and at least a second compartment (14) adapted to receive non-recyclable waste. The first compartment (12) includes a main body (16) having a floor (60), side walls (38, 40, 46, 48) and a rim (18) which defines an opening (20) of the main body (16). The second compartment (14) includes a main body (22) having a floor (58), side walls (70, 72, 74, 76), a rim (78) which defines an opening (24) of the main body (22), and rim engaging flange portions (26, 28) for supporting the second compartment (14) against a portion (30, 32) of the rim (18) of the first compartment (12). The rim engaging flange portions (26, 28) so support the second compartment (14) against a portion (30, 32) of the rim 18 of the first compartment (12) that the main body (22) of the second compartment (14) descends into the opening (20) of the main body (16) of the first compartment (12) so as to form two openings (50, 52) to the first compartment (12) on opposed sides of the second compartment (14) for inserting waste paper therethrough. The portion (30, 32) of the rim (18) of the first compartment (12) is elevated from the remaining portion of the rim (18).
A waste recycling bin comprising a first compartment adapted to receive a first form of waste, and at least a second compartment adapted to receive a second form of waste, the first compartment including a main body having a floor, side walls, and a rim which defines an opening of the main body, the second compartment including a main body having a floor, side walls, a rim which defines an opening of the main body, and rim engaging means for supporting the second compartment against a portion of the rim of the first compartment so that the bin assumes an operable condition where the first and second forms of waste are receivable through the openings of respective first and second compartments, the rim engaging means so supporting the second compartment against a portion of the rim of the first compartment that at least a part of the main body of the second compartment descends into the opening of the main body of the first compartment, and wherein the portion of the rim of the first compartment that engages the rim engaging means of the second compartment is elevated from a remaining portion of the rim to provide at least one opening to the first compartment for receiving paper therethrough.
