Hello and Happy Labor Day weekend peeps. Today I have a pretty TRASHY
post for you all!!! Last month while out shopping with a friend at LITTLE HILL FARM ,
I found these 2 trash cans. I have been on the look-out for some just like this for a while now,
so I was thrilled......yes thrilled over trash cans!!!!!
My plan was to make them into planters for our back deck.

My plan was to make them into planters for our back deck.
I poked a hole into the bottom to allow for drainage.
Before I added the potting soil, I filled them up with empty
This is kind of a weird little shaped area of the upper deck,
Our recycle bin with the plastic bottles was not very full,
Enjoyed the project?

Just a side note. In Oregon we turn in our bottles for the deposit so this would sacrifice some change for the grandkids. Alternative, reuse Styrofoam or packing peanuts. They are also lightweight and bad for the environment if put in a landfill. Ask local furniture, appliance, or other businesses for their leftovers. It you break the Styrofoam place it over the can so the loose bits don't get on the ground.
