Innovative Recycle Containers

Media_httpwwwoberholt_hmahb

I love these public recycling containers located throughout the city of Barcelona. They are thoughtful in design, and intuitive usability.

Unlike the recycling containers found in the U.S., the containers include simple identification elements to make it easier for all people to locate and distinguish between them in public spaces. The containers encourage smart waste separation as each waste category is associated with a color: organic—brown, general waste—grey, cardboard and paper—blue, plastic packaging—yellow and glass—green. Containers are lined up in the same order everywhere, making it easy for the blind or visually-impaired to identify them.
