We have a closet by the bathroom. We bought a vertical bin holder with 4 bins in it. The top two are for glass - plastic - metal because our trash / recycling company takes them all in one bin. They separate it out on their end. The bottom two are for paper / cardboard.

I also have a paper recycle bin beneath my desk for any paper I get.

I actively try to cancel every catalog we are sent so we cut down on the waste paper.

I admit I still get credit card statements / bills in paper form, I have been paranoid up until now about not having those in physical form. But now that I have a receipt scanner and am getting rid of all our receipts, I think I am ready to take the step to keep my bill receipts on my computer in PDF form. I just have to make even more sure that I back up my system regularly.
