\"Savvy<\/p>\n

By now you must know there’s a special day for just about anything you can imagine<\/strong>. Take today for example. Did you know that September 27 is “Crush a Can” Day<\/strong>? That’s right — although I don’t know why anybody would want to crush<\/em> a can when there are so many savvy ways to recycle them.<\/p>\n

Here are seven of my favorite ways to upcycle what many people just toss in the trash. For more inspiration, check out my Pinterest board<\/strong> on Savvy Recycling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7 Savvy Ways to Recycle Cans<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Hang a Garden<\/h2>\n

    Isn’t this tin can garden<\/a> quaint? What an efficient use of space, right? Just be sure to add a few drainage holes to the bottoms before mounting them to the wall.<\/p>\n

    Craft Some Rustic Stars<\/h2>\n

    These 3-D stars from Milo Made<\/b> are made from aluminum cans rather than tin ones. Wouldn’t they look great hanging on a Christmas tree?<\/p>\n

    Organize Your Desk<\/h2>\n

    These paint can cubbies keep this desk space looking neat and tidy. They are just the thing for sorting mail or organizing office supplies.<\/p>\n

    Leave a Message<\/h2>\n

    These cool punched tin signs from Snapguide<\/b> are actually made out of recycled soda cans. What a smart and inexpensive way to adorn your walls with words of encouragement:<\/p>\n

    Make a Planter<\/h2>\n

    Check out this beautiful planter from Centsational Girl<\/a>. She used a tin bucket for hers, but I’m pretty sure the same technique would work on a paint can or large coffee tin:<\/p>\n
