Instagram user @thegoochpage shows in this Instagram Reel how easy it is to make a trash can using just a wire hanger. To create it, bend the wire hanger as directed in the video - with each side of the hanger slightly bent in - before stretching the entire hanger out to form the 'trash can.' Each side will become the 'handles' on which you can hang a plastic grocery bag. This DIY hack is not only clever but also showcases a sustainable way to use items you already have.
One of the best things about this hack is that you can make a temporary trash can wherever you need it! Use it to collect garbage in the kitchen or food waste from the fridge, or use it as a receptacle to hold recyclables such as aluminum cans or glass bottles. This flexibility makes it a perfect solution for various cleaning or organizing tasks.
If you're cleaning out a closet, collect clothing or shoes you plan to donate in it. If you're helping someone move into a dorm room, then this is an ideal trash hack for all the packaging that comes with new items. This demonstrates the versatility and practicality of using a repurposed wire hanger for temporary waste collection.
Not only does this cost-effective technique repurpose an item you might already have on hand, but it's also a much more sustainable way to use a simple item that might otherwise have been tossed out. It highlights the importance of finding innovative solutions that contribute to sustainability.
