I am going to have hubby build recycle bins this spring, that way I can have a smaller space to put my ’stuff’. My plans for him to follow are easy, anyone can do it.

Build a frame the general size of a fridge. Height depends on your reach and ceiling. Measure carefully, then add tracks for large ‘drawers’. This can be as simple as a small strip of wood wide enough for a wheel to roll on.

Make open top boxes that are one half to one inch smaller then the opening. This allows room for small wheels to go on the bottom of the drawer. You can scavenge wheels from an old toy, dishwasher, or something else.

Place a handle on each box, then slide into your stacked recycle bin.

When you make this, you should use wood that is not very heavy for the boxes or slip cardboard boxes inside of the drawers to ease removal.

I also have plans for a container like this for returnable plastic bottles. Same size, but with an easy removal system for the bottles! I’ll let you know when it is all worked out!
