It’s true that some of your garbage can be reused, but we bet there are a few fun projects you haven’t thought of. With the amount of waste that comes out of a home per week, it might be a good idea to look into other ways of using these items as a sustainable, recyclable project. They say that one man’s trash is another one’s treasure, but what if you could make your trash your own treasure?
Plastic Bottles
Old milk cartons can be used to feed birds! Cut a sizeable hole in the side and poke a hole through the cap. Attach some string to the top and fill the carton with bird seed -- not only have you saved yourself some cash, but the birds can eat too! The same goes with the bottom of plastic bottles. By carefully cutting the bottom and sanding the edge smooth, you can create a tiered jewelry holder, Simply poke a hole in the middle and glue them in place, allowing a little bit of room between each layer for storage!
Old Metal
What about that old dining set? No use anymore? For the intermediate DIY project seekers, you can turn these into gorgeous hooks for coats and sweaters! Bend them into a hook shape, and drill a small hole in the metal. Attach it to the wall and you have a hook! BONUS: You can also twist and bend fork prongs for extra flair.
Old Cans
Aluminum cans are great! With sharp edged they can cut almost anything -- perfect for cookie cutters! Cut the can and carefully lead only the siding left to work with. By cutting the can horizontally into ½’ thick pieces, you can then bend and glue them together in the shape of your choice! They’ll be durable enough to cut through dough, be cleaned, and used for another project!
Not everything has to go to waste, but if you are thinking about throwing your items away, please do it responsibly. City Carting and Recycling proudly hauls away your waste in both commercial and residential applications -- we’d love to help rid your home of waste as well.
