Recycle ALL THE THINGS!

Yes i've used variants of that title before, but it works

The village hall has long had a problem with recycling at events such as the LANs, and more precisely having some means of collecting and disposing of it. Normally the bottles are piled up and put in bags, which isnt ideal as they rip. 

After a trip to Ikea where I found some plastic bins they usually use in the bargain area for £4 each I've decided to make a better system

It's hardly complex, but hopefully people will help to make it work.

The idea is for the bins to be fixed to the wall so they dont disappear of their own accord. But they can still be removed to empty them with relative ease, something of a catch 22.

The Pot Problem - Pt 2.

Half of the problem in this cupboard was solved by some hooks on the door, which was an effective and simple solution as well as being a cheap solution (which is always nice). 

With the lids out of the way, the problem of having too many pans and baking trays (not pictured, as they're always left out on the hob because they don't fit anywhere) still exists. All the pots would fit, but then the trays are a pain to get to, having the trays stood up means they fall over all the time and make way too much noise when they do.

B&Q to the rescue with some cheap Contiboard pretty much he same size as the current shelf. Coupled with a load of existing holes int he right places of the cupboard meant the trays get their own shelf and still have enough space to move things from the baking cupboard, plus a shelf for the trays at the very top instead of being on the counter.

the most surprising thing i found was a 6' length of contiboard 15" wide was £9.99 online, but an 8' length of the same width was £9.98, also online. Expecting things to be different in the store i went to buy the 6' length, and it was the same. So got the longer one and left with a bit extra material.

Maybe this'll stem the tide of over stuffed cupboards for a while, but i doubt it as i've been eyeing a set to replace my rather old, dilapidated pots.
