5 common household items that can be easily recycled or reused
Have you ever wondered what kind of "garbage" trail you leave behind in the world every day? This is especially true for solid waste, which adds to the already overcrowded landfills.
News Bytes writes: "But many of these items that we thoughtlessly throw away can be reused for useful purposes. As a result, it will not only save money but also contribute to the ecology of the region and the planet as a whole."
SSPDaily prepared a list of 5 things that can be given a second life today.
Old tires
Take a pair of old tires and turn them into a cool garden table or flower pots to decorate your yard.
Don't forget about your pets. Tires can be used to make a cozy dog bed or a quirky swing for a balcony, garden, or terrace.
Cardboard egg cartons
Don't throw away egg cartons. Use them to organize and store small items. If you're into gardening, turn the trays into seedling dishes. And if you're looking for a creative way to give small gifts, use these containers to package mini cupcakes.
Old, unwanted clothes
Turn old clothes into beautiful pillows or pillowcases, adding a touch of personality to your home decor.
Want to add cool patches to your jeans? Cut out pieces from your worn-out jeans and sew them onto your new ones.
Or if you're feeling creative, cut them up and let your imagination run wild to see what cool things you can create.
Plastic bottles
There are many useful and creative things you can do with plastic bottles.
Start by making flower pots to grow your favorite plants. Need a DIY sprinkler to water your garden? Recycle plastic bottles and create your watering system.
You can also make an original chandelier using the bottoms of bottles or turn plastic containers into bird feeders.
Toothbrush and toothpaste tube
Wash your toothbrush thoroughly and you can use it as an eyebrow brush, hair dye applicator, or to clean small spaces and electronic devices.
Cut off the bottom of a toothpaste tube to make a convenient funnel for pouring liquids, or turn it into a frosting tube to decorate cakes.
