DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

An orderly, rectangular dual-bin that makes recycling feel built in rather than improvised. It is large, but unusually efficient for 60L of sorted capacity.

LONGEVITY

High potential: pedal rated to 200,000 cycles and EKO sells an EK9138 replacement hinge; removable buckets are easy to keep sanitary.
