Abstract: A recycling cart disposed on a wheeled platform. A trash can for non-recyclable trash and a green-colored bin for compostable materials are removably disposed on the platform. A shelf storage unit permanently disposed on the platform includes a divider separating upper and lower compartments. An upper recycle box within the upper compartment receives recyclable plastics, while a lower recycle box within the lower compartment receives recyclable cardboard and paper. An upper compartmentalized unit on a front side of shelf storage unit receives small recyclable items such as batteries, cartridges, and certain types of lights. An external handle is attached to the shelf storage unit. A storage area for recyclable broken down cardboard is defined by a gap between a vertical support plate on a rear end of the recycling cart and the shelf storage unit.
