ASF Baskets Boost Recycling

American Store Fixtures (ASF), Skokie, Ill., is offering solutions for both curbside recycling and the reduction of plastic bag use.

The company’s regular and jumbo size baskets are great for curbside use. The 5 and 7 gallon sizes are the perfect volume, being easy to carry to the curb even when full. Many large recycling containers are too heavy once full, discouraging use.

Additionally, the small 5-gallon basket is ideal for “under the sink” placement in condos and apartments, according to the company. The baskets are available in many colors and ASF can also print logos or city names on each basket.

Another new product from ASF, the ERGO basket, allows shoppers to bring their basket to any store, fill it up, then take purchases home in the re-usable basket. The ergonomic design reduces joint stress and holds about three plastic bags worth of products. Using ERGO baskets can also protect bread, produce and other items from getting squished on the way home.
