How To Reuse Trash and Convert it into something useful

Last Updated on January 23, 2021

We’re in 2021 and people still don’t understand that we’re making more trash than we should, or. We need to change our mindset about recycling and and learn how to reuse trash. You probably buy toys for your kids, expensive ones, that you think they will like, when they would be happy with, for example, a castle made with boxes and toilet paper rolls. And when I say kid’s toy, I say toolboxes made of empty cans, a makeup box made with a shoe box, or cleaning wipes made of old T-shirts. And since I know that sometimes starting is the hardest part, I’ll give you some ideas of how to reuse 100% of your trash.

1. How to reuse trash like a shoes box to store makeup products

If every time you buy a new pair of shoes, the box ends up in the trash, let me tell you that the environment is not happy with you. A shoe box has the perfect shape and size to be the perfect place for makeup storage. This will surely help you with all those drawers filled with unorganized lipsticks, eyeliners, blushes and all women need before going out. You can even cut the upper side of the box into smaller pieces and use it to create different compartments inside your new makeup box.

2. Reuse pill bottle to make mini first-aid kits

You probably have some pill bottles in your bathroom cabinet waiting to be sent to the trash, but before you do that, I’ll give you an idea to reuse them: mini first-aid kits! Inside each bottle, you can put some bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain, and allergy relievers, and whatever more you think it’s necessary for a safer road trip, or that weekend’s camping trip you were planning for some time.

3. Reuse toilet papers rolls to organize your household and gadget cords

Toilet paper rolls are one of the most reusable items for life hacks you have at home, and you probably are sending them to trash without thinking of how to reuse trash like this and give it a second life. You can let your kids use them to build binoculars, castles, swords, crowns, etc… Or you can use them to finally organize all those household and gadget cords you have spread everywhere. Just put the cords inside the roll and you’ll see your drawers organized like you’ve never seen them before.
