Planter, Birdbath, Turn upside down and use it as a stand or Toadstool with a base. Paint it and stand on end as a work of art?

I’ve seen them painted with scenery like a landscape. Also, turned into a garden patch after laying in the back rather than mounted on the pole.

The answer somewhat depends on the size of the dish. We have a BUD (big ugly dish that has mesh instead of a solid area). We used it as a roof for a gazebo.

These make great bird baths! Or you could use as a small planter for succulents

Here is a cute garden idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDX6DWBeu2U

Simply bring your inactive DISH equipment to the customer service desk at a Best Buy location near you. It's that easy! Best Buy has collected and responsibly disposed of more than 1 billion pounds of electronics and appliances, making them the largest retail collection program in the United States. This is if you decide to get rid of it.

Bird Bath

Satellite dishes are rust resistant. The bowl shape is perfect for a bird bath. Consider mounting it to the side of a tree or on top of a post in your garden. Remember to use non-toxic paint if you will be beautifying your project. Applying swimming pool paint on the inside of the dish may prevent algae build-up.

Spartan Shield

Use a small length of rope and a old satellite dish to create a spartan shield. Simply thread the rope through the holes on the dish to create the perfect handle.

Boost 3G Signal

A satellite dish is constructed to collect signals in an efficient way. When connected to your television you get crystal clear satellite service. This same technology can be reused in rural areas prone to loss of service on cell phones. Simply place the phone in front of the dish and place your call. The dish can be relocated to a convenient location in your yard. While this may not be ideal, those who have to drive a mile for service will understand how handy this tip can be.
