Technically, our recyclables are supposed to be divided into metal, paper, plastic, and others. Usually they just wind up in a vaguely spaced pile which seems to be separated by a coincidence.

The Barcode Trashcan allows you to simply scan your soon-to-be recycled items, at which point a built-in computer figures out what material that barcode corresponds to, and ejaculates the correct lid. Hell, I might even offer to take out the recycling if it’s ever this fun. (more…)

All it takes to make a sick Sci-Fi adventure is some recycling prowess. We could so see these masks used in a motion picture. And to think they were made using random electronic shit lying around someone’s house.

Imagine a movie like this: The world is on the brink of collapse after a group of amateur garage robotic builders produce an indestructible gang of robotic monsters to control the world. I picture their faces looking something like these. (more…)

Now this is friggen cool. This Admit One Movie Ticket Bowl is made from a reel real roll of movie tickets. It might not sound like much, but just check out those pictures! How much more unique could you get? Great for any movie buff.
Conveniently, not only is it damn cool looking, but is also a prefect example of recycling old and used material. Even though, of course the rolls are full and complete, so they weren’t actually used. And who would eat off of used tickets anyway? A show of hands, please. Available now for prices ranging between $60-$100, but sadly, out of stock. — Andrew Dobrow

Mmm, more floppy drive recycling goodness. This time we got a real treat for all of you bag nuts. This Floppy Disk Bag is a totally DIY project which you can use if you have boxes of flops laying around your office or house. If you think this is geeky, think again. Well, no we admit, it is geeky, but the original plan was to create plate mail armor out of the dumpster saved disks. Now THAT’S geeky!

So what supplies are you going to need to make your own? All you’ll need is a drill bit plier and some chain links. Oh, and some elementary math knowledge. Looks awesome. (more…)
