Giant-sized empty coffee tins make great little trash cans for each room. It’s amazing how small a trashcan I can get away with, when all that’s being thrown away is pretty much just plastic packaging. Paper and cardboard get composted, as does food. Recyclable plastic and aluminum cans, as well as plastic jugs and bottles, go into the recycling bin.
As I’ve said before, I never assume that anything gets recycled. So when I can, I reuse and re-purpose. Or avoid the container in the first place.
These giant coffee containers probably came from somebody’s curbside recycling bin; it’s so long ago I can’t remember where I got them lol. (The cans are about 7 inches tall and 6 inches wide; I think it’s the 4-pound can of coffee).
They’ve got just the right amount of rust on them to be easily paintable with the water-based acrylic paints in my art supplies.
