Reduce, reuse, recycle - we like the sound of this motto, don't you? Recycling stuff is awesome, but actually repurposing your old stuff and garbage into something new and useful is even more awesome! We love to write about DIY projects, especially the ones with recycling ideas (check out one of our older posts here), so if you're looking for any creative ideas for reusing your old stuff, this is the post for you! From plastic bottles to scrap metal and bicycle parts - there isn't a thing that cannot be upcycled.

If you have a good idea for recycling stuff into something new and useful, add it to this list – bonus points if it's something you came up with or repurposed yourself!

Looks like it fits right in with the decor of the room but wouldn't work everywhere unless you jazzed it up a bit.

Who said it's about whether it's easier to buy or make? It's about the aesthetic appeal. Y'know... art. What a concept.

That wouldn't take long before you got annoyed with the books falling off all the time!

I understand the idea, but personally I find it a bit tacky. Must fit well in a trailer park, though.

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do But she wears short skirts I wear T-shirts She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one Who understands you Been here all along So, why can't you see? You belong with me You belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself Hey, isn't this easy?

What store was it stolen from? By the time those are trashed, they are ready for the recycle bin to get melted down.
