You have a lot of stuff at
home in one of the prestigious Rockwell
condominiums, and you do not know which ones to keep and put away.
Wondering what items you can recycle especially those disposable objects that
are present in your midst. Yes, these items may come cheap and very much
convenient but there is such cost associated with throwing all that material.
So instead of throwing them out, you can still make use of those things in the
most possible way.
Here are some eight things
that we can think of:
#1: Plastic Cups
They are usually used during
parties wherein you would really need for a whole lot of crowd as well, especially
if you are living in Ayala
Bonifacio Global City, where parties are really often. These items may be
too overrated because they can be bought anywhere, yet they really come in
handy when the time comes. If you have a lot of these at home, you can reuse
them as containers for your sewing items or you can make a DIY project out of
it. As long as it won’t include burning up, that would be all right.

#2: Milk Cans
These are good for plant
containers as these can be displayed in your garden area. Put some holes at the
bottom of the can to give in some air and to let the water out whenever you
water your plant. You can also paint those cans according to the colors you
want that would suit your imagination too!
#3: Soda Plastic Bottles
You can make use of these
materials as another container for smaller items at home. And just like that of
milk cans, you can use half of the plastic bottle as container for plants. Cut
the bottle in half, crosswise and dump in some soil. Redecorate those plastic
bottles with paint and some artsy ideas that you can come up with to make it
look more presentable and nice!
#4: Ziplock bags
Some use ziplocks as
containers of their food, some would use if for crafty stuff, safekeeping and
other else. You can always choose to keep these bags and reuse them for further
purposes. You can also opt to washing these bags and reuse them over and over
again until they fall apart.

#5: Aluminum Foils
Tin foils can be reused to
cover up items such as casseroles. But don’t you know there are other ways you
can make use of these aluminum foils? If you are throwing in a party, you can
always reuse foils as holiday decoration (especially now that the holidays are
coming), use them scraper whenever you are washing your glassware (in place of
a steel-wool soap pad) or as a wrinkle remover especially when you are ironing
out those silks, wool and rayon clothes. You can even use these foils as
funnels! Aren’t these amazing ideas?
#6: Junk Food Wrappers
If you are much into eating
junk food, chances are, you will be throwing those wrappers away. But this
cheat would give you more of an idea of how you could recycle these wrappers
into—pillows. Well, the stuff inside the pillow instead of using the usual
feathers or foams. You can make throw pillows out of them to save you from
buying one and for you to be more creative and crafty.
#7: Plastic Cutlery
Those things that you get
from taking out food from fast-food chains might be of great use to you in the
future. If you have been keeping those things, well you might be able to use
them on summer outings with your friends and family! Or you can make some DIY
projects out of these such as wall clocks.

#8: Paper Coffee Filters
If you’re a coffee junkie
and fond of brewing your own coffee, you would be using paper coffee filters.
But what if you wanted to get rid of those but having second thoughts of maybe
using it for another cause? Well, one tip would be using it (and the coffee grounds)
in the base of a flowerpot. It will act as fertilizer and will also prevent
soil from leaking through the drain holes and make a mess. With this idea, it
would only save you from using fertilizers for your plants but you can also
help the environment!
How about you? What items do
you use more than once that might help others too? Share your thoughts!
