I had forgotten that you use those dixie bowls for sorting. I like them
because their super cheap and easy to get parts out of.

Yeah, they’re great on those two criteria, but being round, they’re an awful
use of space. Doesn’t anyone make square disposable bowls?!? I know there
are some GladWare options but those are pricier and still somewhat rounded.

I’ve used the small square-ish foam takeout hinged lid containers used to hold
sandwiches and such as an alternative to those tippy bowls. Just lay out the
container flat to get two conjoined ~5” square sorting bins, or seperate them at
the hinge as needed. Other good ones are the shallow rectangular foam meat
trays. Both alternatives eliminate the large lip, and provide a more stable
bottom.

I’m thinking about using basswood or balsa strips to subdivide the sorting
area, but haven’t decided to for sure yet.

I’d try other items first before engineering around the bowls.
