A stackable refuse container system includes multiple stackable containers, each of which may be designated for holding a particular recyclable material. The containers are vertically stacked and a cart can be provided for transporting the stacked assembly to and from a curb. Each container may include a removable lid, a front portion of the lid being hingably attached to provide access to the container and a second portion formed to engage and support a bottom of a complementary container. Each container also has sockets for receiving the feet of another container when a lid is not used. Thus, containers can be stacked one upon another, with the lids on or off, and mounted on the cart if one is used. The containers an be provided, for separating recyclable from non-recyclable materials at the point of origin without taking up substantial space. Utilizing the stackable refuse container system as a substitute for a conventional container makes recycling more convenient for the user and substantially increases the recycle of glass, metal and plastic materials, reducing the burden on solid waste disposal facilities.

An under cabinet storage system is provided with a relatively small number of modular components which may be assembled to form the support system for a large variety of heights and types of drawers. Among the supporting components is a bracket, a pair of which is mounted in opposed relationship so a to project below the cabinets, in order to support a drawer. Each bracket includes a plurality of vertically spaced slots, with a vertical array of stabilizing boxes on either side of the slot. Each drawer is supported by means of a pair of guide rails, one of which is provided on either side of the drawer for support. Each guide rail includes an upper and lower protruding tongue which is constructed to be received and retained within one of the slots in the bracket. On either side of the tongues, each guide rail is provided with a stabilizing lug which is received in one of the boxes on the bracket. The lugs and boxes are constructed with eyed elements, which assure that the guide rails are properly assembled to the brackets and make it impossible to assemble the support system improperly. In the preferred embodiment, two types of guide rails are provided, one type for a tilting drawer and the other type for an ordinary sliding drawer.
