I have various hard hats that I have collected over the years I’m going to give them to some charities that do construction works

I have been collecting hard hats from the construction sites l have been on for four years. I take them to inner city churches and agencies for people who work temporary jobs. They are charged by the employment agencies and this gives them some extra cash in their pockets for their needs. This is a great way to reuse. Hopefully they will recycle.

remember: (1) refuse (2) reduce (3) re-use (4) recycle. Recycling is only better than disposal. In the case of hard-hats there is NO mandatory expiry date, Reduce envirionmental impact by only replacing when worn , e.g. badly scratched, any signs of cracks. Few people would buy a new hard-hat to satisfy shopoholic needs, but for other items beware using recycling as a conscience salve to consumerism.

here in Oklahoma, they would be welcome in a storm shelter, the meteorologists suggests wearing a helmit while in a storm shelter in case of falling debris.

Your local amateur dramatics group might appreciate them – they’re always looking for potential costumes.

You can sell or donate them to a fancy dress shop. I am sure they need them there!
Also – you can make a fun wall storage boxes from them: take a door hinge, screw one side to the wall, other side to the helmet, and on the other side of the helmet put a hook or a loop – and put a screw or a hook in the wall on the top. To stop things from falling out when it’s open – you can nail or staple some fabric on the inside of the helmet.
It would be good for shed storage or other storage for small items. Maybe crayons or other items..

How about using them as planters or as a hanging basket?

You could donate them to a school or children’s club for dressing up play. My son loves his dad’s old one.

give them to kids to play with, donate them to a daycare.

you could make a cool shelf of bins, secure them to a board somehow and store screws etc in them.
