Answer 1

I liked the person's mosiac idea. More and more you see people using bits of glass and all put together to create an almost marble/granite looking eco-friendly countertops for homes.

But think about this, a lot of styrofoam has no place to go (I wonder even about the recycling symbols on them because they might not recycle the same).

So maybe you could use a lot of that too.

Answer 2

Start off by calling your local remodeling stores, they have so much they trash. For example carpet stores, cabinet stores, title shops etc.  Your theme could be aimed for kids.  One idea is create a box trash bin with your scrape wood you collected, depending on what power tools you  have or can borrow, cut out a hoop shape.  Make sure all your wood is sanded(no one likes a splinters:). Now attach a long piece of wood to the bin you made at one end and attach the hoop to the other end.    

If you fine some rope you can make the basket. " We all win, when we recycle, shoot to win, recycling is our only shot"

Answer 3

recycle only metal

Answer 4

recyle everything.

Answer 5

how about a mosaic, using bits of broken tile / mirror /glass beads? I recently made a mosaic garden table using the cut off top of a metal drum, reinforced with ply underneath, and used bits of broken tile for the picture.

if you can weld you can make wicked sculpture with bits of scrap metal.
