PVC Collapsible Garbage Bins
Lowe’s has a project for your campsite garbage. It is made out of PVC and easily collapses for storage and transport:
Directions
Step 1: Using a hacksaw, cut the PVC into the following lengths:
- 4 (6-inch) pieces
- 1 (17 3/4-inch) piece
- 4 (30-inch) pieces
- 4 (3-inch) pieces
- 2 (17 1/2-inch) pieces
Step 2: Assemble the PVC parts as shown in the photo.
Step 3: Use the PVC cement to glue the base and sides together. Do not glue the caps, which are meant to be taken off and placed over the bag to hold it in place. You now have three parts to transport and assemble on site.
Step 4: Clean the words and numbers off the pipes with PVC pipe cleaner. Repeat these steps to make two more trash bins. Write “aluminum,†“paper,†and “trash†on the pipes with a permanent marker to distinguish the three receptacles.
I just had a flash idea for this. I am glad I am not unique about this. Caps used to hold in place… hmm?? Do they ever get lost in the trash? I am working with a few devoted girl youth in my troop. They want to go camping. Our Council camps are crazy restrictive on activities. I know the girls will have fun, but so many Covid rules. Thank you for the dimension. These girls want printed directions for everything. GOD BLESS
