Unwanted Items at Home Recycled

How to Get Your Unwanted Items at Home Recycled

Over recent years, most of us have been trying to get thrifty with our money. A good example of how many of us have been into this is recycling a range of home items and appliances, giving them a renewed lease of life.

When unwanted items are recycled, recycling facilities can reuse these resources, therefore, reducing the amount of raw materials required in manufacturing. Also, getting started for the unwanted items isn’t difficult, and it can begin right on the go.

To help on your quest of recycling unwanted home items, we’ve compiled the following summary on how to get such things at your home recycled.

Unwanted furniture into Shabby chic:

Shabby chic furniture never goes wrong with fashion. Instead, they portray the great appearance of any antique. You can give your unwanted dining room chairs and tables another lease of life by simply turning them into shabby chic furniture.

The requirements are basic and few; a rigorous sanding to get rid of any existing vanish/paints and then add a light coat of new paint. You can have an added feel to the shabby chic by running a clean paintbrush or a dry cloth to removing excess paint.

Bathroom items for Garden tools:

A complete bathroom replacement can be a bit expensive. However, this is when you consider getting rid of sinks, a toilet and an old bath. While you can just take such items to the landfill, there’re many uses such things have in your garden.

As keen gardeners are often alert, mint though easy to grow can turn wild if it’s not adequately contained when planted. Therefore, if you’re growing on a large scale or looking forward to having a herb garden, you can ideally utilize the old bathtub for a quirky planter. Also, a thorough clean of the toilet can get this into a farmer for the garden.

Light bulb to a vase:

Just because the element in your light bulb is gone does not really mean that the light bulb is ready to be thrown away. In fact, after providing a view around your home, the light bulb can be transformed into a few things, such as a vase for a few flowers in your homes.

Quick research from the internet can get you handy with more tips on how to turn a light bulb into a vase. Even if it might be difficult with energy-saving bulbs, it is still possible to recycle.

In all instances, recycling glass items should be conducted with great care.

Bottles into Candle Holders

If you’re lucky enough, you’ve been into a restaurant where they’ve made candle holders out of old wine bottles.

And if this works for a restaurant, it’ll probably work in your home. However, not only wine bottles. Funky Cider or beer bottles also work quite well, and if at all you don’t light candles, you can have them for beautiful ornaments.

Recycling Cutlery and Coffee Jars:

You don’t have to throw away your cutlery just because it embarrassed you during a dinner party. Instead, you can recycle it as coat pegs.

Are you wondering about coffee jars? Like old bits of wood, any empty instant coffee jars come with a multitude of uses. Raging from containers to screws, washers, stone nails and other DIY items or even wasp traps so you can enjoy some time in the garden without stings.

Kids Shoes:

We all know that kids grow out of shoes so fast. The best thing many organisations are looking for useful shoes for those in need.

Most of these organisations have plenty of drop-off points throughout the UK where you can donate your pre-loved shoes and boots. Also, they provide information on how to wash and tie such shoes for donations.

Electronics:

While many of us don’t see the need to upgrade electronics more often, there’s some truth that most of them aren’t created to last any more.

There’s a list of places available such as ARP and Mobile 4 Charity where you can get your unwanted items recycled. Ranging from mobile phones to printer cartridges, computers, musical instruments and other e-junks.

Tree Trunks for Garden Furniture:

This one might not be the easiest, but it’s also a good eco-friendly recycling tip. If you have a large tree cut down in your garden, and you’re struggling to remove the trunk, just scoop it into a garden bench. It’ll help to create some uniqueness in your yard. (Garden Waste Recycling and Disposing Tips).

You can also create a stepping stone for young children to pray on by having the trunk cut into smaller chunks.

If you reside around areas with no recycling pick up, or you have some recyclables not covered by the available programs, consider finding recycling drop-ff centers. You can commonly recycle items such as aluminium cans, paper products, and plastics at such centers.
