How does this bin simplify paperwork? If it is the correct size—large enough for a file folder to lay flat and 1 foot deep—it will hold about six- to eight-months’ worth of paper, naturally filed in chronological order. As such, the occasional mistaken discard can easily be fished out. Empty the bin only once it’s full. If you’re still worried about privacy, then don’t recycle the papers; empty them into the opaque kitchen garbage bag.
