This was a helpful article, recycling can be a much better substitute over throwing things on the ground or on the earth. Recycling can also preserve materials and allow for them to be used again. It's much better than just throwing away something that is re-usable. This also wasn't too hard of a guide to follow, as nearly anyone can do it. I also do agree with putting more emphasis on recycling.

This was another good article on how to make a recycling bin. It was much more detailed however, and is a more "professional" looking recycling bin. I could see myself using this method to make a recycling bin as it doesn't involve using too much materials. It doesn't take long to do, which is a plus since it is best to save time when creating things.

This article was short and simple when explaining how to create a recycling bin. It doesn't involve using many materials or supplies to make the recycling bin. All it requires you is to find a storage container and then label it according to how a recycling bin would be. This isn't as in depth as other articles, but it does get the job done. It also makes the task very simple.

I found this one as easy the guide by doityourself.com. It is very simple and inexpensive to do. Finding a wooden crate is also cheap and can be actually be obtained for free. However, the only drawback I find to the recycling bin in this article is that it is mainly for newspapers. It would be best to have an all purpose recycling bin so you're not limited on what you can put in it. This does save a lot of paper though.

Making a wooden recycling bin does take much more time than making one by different materials. It involves much time cutting and combining pieces when you easily use a different material, (such as plastic) to make one. However, making a wooden recycle bin would be sturdy. It would also be strong enough to support anything put inside of it.
