ABSTRACT:
A paper recycling rack includes an upper paper stack binding area and a lower bundled paper storage area. The upper area comprises a platform having two orthogonally disposed channels thereacross and corresponding discontinuous side walls, with a generally rectangular stack of papers placed therein being supported at the four corners of the stack and being exposed along the orthogonal channels. Thus, a user of the rack may easily reach through the upper portion of the lower storage area to pass binding twine, cord or the like beneath papers stacked in the upper area to secure them together, and store the bound papers in the lower storage area for later transfer to a recycling point. The rack is preferably monolithically formed of an injection molded translucent, smoke tinted plastic material, but may alternatively be formed using other materials and manufacturing techniques as desired. The rack is particularly useful for the binding and storage of newspapers and is also valuable in the office environment for the recycling of computer paper and the like. Non-skid pads may be provided on the bottom of the paper storage area to preclude slippage on the floor, or alternatively on a table, desk or other area.
