Like a lot of other DIY home projects, you can utilize old pallets to make your own recycling center. With your own, new-and-improved recycling center you will be more motivated to recycle, and you will be saving the earth!
You'll need
4 pallets
Table saw
Hammer
Nails
Hinges
Tape measure
First, decide how big the inserts (the actual bin) will be in order to determine how big the entire structure will be. After you either make or buy the inserts that will hold your recyclables, you'll need to make the outside shell. The outer shell is relatively easy to put together, as it's basically a big, rectangular box. The lid is the tricky part. Watch a tutorial on how to install the "door" part of the structure with hinges if you are not confident in this step. Put your inserts inside the box, and line them with a plastic bag. Lastly, check out Pinterest to see some creative ways to decorate your new home recycling center!
