Upcycling From A Home Remodel

With a home remodel, you’re bound to throw some things away. Whether this job consists of changing the fixtures in a bedroom or living room, or you’re knocking out walls and extending your home’s size. There are a number of things that go into these jobs, but what many people don’t realize, is what they’re throwing away. While it’s been beaten to a pulp, the expression regarding ‘one man’s trash’ is never more apparent for those who have extra supplies. Take a look below to see what some of these otherwise garbage materials can do for you in the long run.

Insulation

Sometimes, insulation gets thrown out when you’re tearing down walls to make new ones. If the insulation isn’t reused for the new application, consider using it for a few other things around your home. This can include insulation for outdoor pet houses, insulating the garage, or using as barriers for the kids! You can wrap this and include it in your outdoor playground to safeguard the children from obstacles in which they can get hurt on. A cushion, if you will

Spare Wood

Wood is another component that can provide you with a number of benefits, instead of throwing it out. You can use these wood planks in garages for makeshift shelving units for free, or piece them together and make bookshelves or wall mounted coat hangers. Also, drying them out and having them be a bit smaller can allow them to be used as firewood for the chilly nights.

Of course, you can’t keep everything, and you’ll need a place for the rest of the garbage to go. For this, make sure you’re hiring a company with a comprehensive plan to keep your waste manageable!
