How to recycle 3 drawer plastic storage unit?

The top of my storage unit caught fire, but for the most part the bottom is undamaged. What can I do to reuse it, my bathroom has little storage. This is the top drawer with less damage than the top. Help!!
I'd like to still have extra storage. What can I do??

    You could possibly use a utility knife to cut off the top several inches of this bin and then use it as storage under a vanity or inside a larger cabinet. It is in pretty bad shape, though so I would not use it as it is due to sharp edges, etc.

      Take a torch and slowly heat up the edges and with a pot holders turn them in( or) out. Hot glue ribbon and clothes pins... should help clean up the look some what...

    I used one as a storage under my kitchen sink for quite a while, they have good depth and hold a lot of product. Curiosity killed the cat, what caused the fire? you may save one of use from doing it too, hope no one was hurt.

      Thanks for the idea. No one was hurt, thank goodness. But I had an old stereo on top that just shorted out. :( Luckily I was still home when it happened. Thanks again.

    Our waste removal firm pick up plastics, glass, paper in one bin. So, if that's the case with you, throw it in recycling.
