How can I reuse or recycle old plastic patio furniture?
We’ve had an email from Charlotte:
We’ve been tidying the garden for winter and want to get rid of the nasty white plastic garden furniture which has been in the garden for years. How can we recycle it?
If they’re still structurally sound, it would be better to let someone else continue using them – offer them on your local Freecycle/Freegle group. Even if they’ve been out in the elements for a while, they’ll probably clean up with a scrubbing brush and a bit of elbow grease.
In terms of actually recycling them, garden furniture is often made from PVC (plastic code 3) which can be recycled but isn’t widely collected post-consumer.
Any reuses?
You could by chair covers (there are some extra for these plastic chairs) or sew some and use the chairs indoor.
Hello,
Maybe an idea would be to use a long rope or a kind or colored ruban or some wool and to customize the chair. (by rolling up over all the chair the wool for example)
After you could use it to put a plant on it ?
Sorry if my english is not perfect !
;)
paint them they will look brand new
