Plastic sorting bins are fine and all, but for those who envisage recycling as a classy affair, there’s the ecopod e1 home recycling center. Debuted last week at the Dwell on Design Conference, it stores glass bottles, paper, and plastic bags, and has a foot-powered mechanism that allows you to crush and store up to 60 cans. This design-y device (with a design-y price) will be available through Williams Sonoma next year, but you can purchase one for $355 on the company website right now.
