Recycling is a hugely important part of our effort to take care of and live in harmony with the planet we call home, but it doesn’t just have to be reserved to municipal authorities or waste management companies. There are awesome and creative DIY projects with ideas to recycle your old stuff that can be taken advantage of by almost anyone.
Every year, when spring cleaning comes around, many of us gather up our old used stuff and simply throw it out. Sometimes, trash is simply trash, but we often fail to realize that a lot of the things that we throw out can be transformed into something else that’s useful with an easy DIY project and that we probably would have wound up buying later anyway. If that old ladder you have lying around isn’t safe to climb on anymore, there’s still probably a million other creative ideas to use them.
And if you can’t make something useful out of your old recycled materials, you can still probably make something beautiful by researching some DIY ideas! Haroshi, Edouard Martinet, Jane Perkins and Mr. Finch are just a few of the countless artists out there that have made ingenious use of repurposed old stuff to create beautiful works of art!

I'd like to see all the waste plastic on the planet, become a commodity and turned into something useful like roofing sheets.
Many of these appear to be not so much about making useful stuff from trash as wrecking perfectly good stuff. As for the Bob Marley one, I think the intention there is to keep the potentially useful cables somewhere accessible while also making a fun display, rather than to repurpose something you'd otherwise throw out.

these are some of the best ideas I've seen!!! thx so much for sharing them with us <3
Love the piano. My mother used to have a stainless steel tub doing the same thing outside. Someone stole it one night lol. Oh well
most of these crafts are useful and amazing but not for the newbie.
Awesome beautiful ideas! Love the creativity and how these items normally discarded are turned into great purposeful treasures.
I love these ideas, especially the piano bookcase and the piano water fountain.
I love the suit case. I just inherited several now I know what to do with them. thanks
bien pensser et sais bien de nous donner des idèes bon pour le reciclage merci
this is largely consecrated to music, witch is a real pleasure and real beautyfull findings, yet all works are such a blow!!artiseverywere;)
brilliant and stylish - I might just have to buy a house to provide the space however
Just to think there was no creativity in this world, you and Pinterest keep me from going brain dead.
