PVC Recycle Bags Holder

Have you seen the nice containers used to separate your recyclables?

Want a quick and easy way to make some your self that look rather nice?

Where I live there is not a program to pick up recyclables at my curb and we have to take them to the recycle center.  Of course taking them there is much easier in bags and having them presorted makes the drop off time no bother at all.

Using these lets you sort your items into bags and has them ready to slide out and take away.


Tools and Parts

Tool :

1) PVC Cutter or Hacksaw
    I would recommend the PVC Cutter as it makes no mess.

2) Measuring tape

3) Nice cup of coffee

Parts :

1) Thirteen (13) feet of PVC pipe 
     I used 3/4" as it is very sturdy size.
2) Two (2) T's same size as your pipe.
3) Eight (8) 90 degree corners same size as your pipe

Cutting the Pipe

3)  Four (4) 8 inch pieces
