DIY: Recycle Bin Hanger Tutorial
When I first decided to clean out my garage,
I looked on Pinterest for organizing inspiration
and found this idea…
Yes, hangers for recycle bins. Genius!
The funny thing is when I finally decided to build mine,
I didn’t realize this site gives you a step-by step tutorial.
Whoops.
I just winged it and did my own thing. 🙂
So this is a tutorial on how I made the recycle bin hangers.
First I grabbed my wood.
I used 1 x 4 pre-primed boards
and a 2 x 2 board left over from my laundry room remodel.
I then measured the inside of my recycle bin.
You want to make sure your upper set of boards will fit inside,
this is a very important step!
Then it was time to cut,
but first I wanted to show you that I do wear my safety goggles.
I actually took a couple of pictures for fun.
And then the goofy…
Anyway, back to the tutorial…
I cut my boards…
I marked my boards based on my stud locations…
I pre-drilled…
I then screwed in the first board, make sure its level…
and then placed the second board on top, but lower.
This way, you have a lip for the bin to slide under.

I am happy to report…
This little DIY project took me a totally of 20 minutes and it was FREE!
Yes, I do realize that my garage is not completely painted. 🙂
It’s a work in progress.
But, this project is proof that
I am getting closer to the finish line!
