Build Fantastic Recycled Projects!
Think about everything youve thrown out recently Maybe you threw away a milk - photo 3

Think about everything youve thrown out recently. Maybe you threw away a milk jug, some newspapers, tin cans, or plastic water bottles. That may not seem like much, but people in the United States throw away nearly 251 million tons (228 million metric tons) of garbage every year!

Thankfully, all this trash can be greatly reduced by recycling. Many materials, such as glass, paper, plastic, and metals can be reused in new objects. For example, magazines and greeting cards can be made from recycled paper. Recycled plastic is often used to make new bottles and even furniture!

There are fun ways to recycle trash as well. Instead of throwing bottles and cans in the recycling bin, use them to make some awesome stuff! Get ready to build robots, UFOs, catapults, and other amazing projects while helping to keep Earth clean at the same time!

Tools Needed

Youll need some common tools to make many of your projects. Gather the following tools and store them in a box so theyre easy to find when you need them. Remember to always ask an adult for help when using sharp knives, scissors, or hot glue guns.
