Recycle your items!

Have you accumulated a lot of things in your house or garage? Do you have old tools lying around? Do you have old tires? Do you have old dishes lying around in the cabinets and are not sure what to do with them?

How about recycling them?

Today we offer you all kinds of ideas for recycling these objects that hang around the house that we don't always know what to do with!

Take a look.

First idea

Do you have worn tire rims?

Place the rim on the side and you get an instant outdoor fireplace. Surround it with bricks to protect your hands and feet from the hot steel.

Sixth idea

I myself have a cabinet like this at home and I do not know what to do with it anymore!

Add fresh paint, rollers, a butcher's block and a bar to hang utensils and you get the perfect cart or kitchen island.

We all have old doors lying in the basement of the house or in the garage. Why not transform the door and place it somewhere in the house?

Ninth idea

We all tend to collect a large number of old coffee containers. Yes, of course, we can put them in the recycling but they can also be useful in the garage!


Tenth idea

There is a myriad of uses for old tires (just be sure to clean them carefully otherwise you will end up with dirt everywhere).

This is an original way to recycle a tire!

Twelfth idea

A wood pallet is not a usual household item but you can do so much with it!

Pallets have many uses, so why not turn one into a fun object, like this cooler stand?
