Turning Your Home Into A Recycling Mecca
We are constantly being told to recycle as much of our waste as we can. plastic containers and cardboard items can be recycled with relative ease as lots of people have separate bins for this stuff or can drop it off at a recycling centre in town. What we don’t generally get asked to recycle however are the larger items. Units such as wardrobes and draws and other things like seating and doors too often end up being thrown on the tip and wasted for good. Right now people are not only watching what they spend more, but also concerning themselves with the state of the planet, so here are a few tips to aid home recycling.
Wood Items. People often throw out things like dining furniture, wardrobes and cupboards without really considering what they could be used for. With a little imagination you can make a great coffee table by bolting a 2 or 3 kitchen cupboards together, removing the handles and placing them door-side-up on the floor. The best bit is that the coffee table will double up as storage space as you can just open the lid and pop stuff in. You can also use wood to make lots of little things such as door stops and chopping boards and even wine racks
Glassware. You might think that you need a kiln in order to recycle glass, but you’d be wrong.Glasses can be used to pot house plants, store knick-knacks in, and even create feature walls with if you’ve got the time to make it. If you put a little thought into it first, you need never have to throw another glass away.
Furniture. This is one of the hardest things to recycle and I’m not saying that you will be able to make tableware out of your old sofa, but sometimes there is scope to get a few more years out of items you thought were at the end of their life. Often the best place to reuse furniture is in the garden.By removing the cushioning and coating the furniture in some protective varnish, most chairs and tables will last outdoors for years. Also, things like carpet can be cut up and used to kneel on when gardening to save getting your clothes dirty.
