Easy to keep clean and fits nicely alongside the desk
Perfect for our study at home where the majority of the waste is recyclable (paper mainly) so we use the bigger compartment for that and the smaller one for non-recyclable things like pencil shavings etc. We needed one with a lid because we have a young puppy in the house and this keeps her from rifling through the rubbish. We haven't used the colour tags provided as it is fairly obvious which is the small container and which is the large one but I guess if you have young kids around it might help them.
It is too tall to put under the desk (it'll fit but you can't really open the lid) but that wasn't a problem for us, we just put it next to the desk and it is still in easy reach.
