Old appliances can cause a headache to owners who find themselves at a loss when it comes to ways of either disposing of them or finding them a new use.
Nobody wants old appliances lying around or going to waste, only a few know of good ways to give their appliances a new life.
In this article, we’re going to help you answer the question “What to do with old appliances” and give you the info necessary to turn the idea into reality.
Let’s get to it!
Reselling or Donating
If the appliance you’re looking to get rid of still works or is repairable, but you are set on getting a new one, the best thing you can do is either resell or donate it.
Many people are on a budget when it comes to household appliances and would love nothing more than to get usable ones at an affordable price. That way, you’ll still get a return in terms of cash, which will allow you to invest more in a better appliance for the future.
The other option is to donate to those in need. If you’re not looking to get some cash in the process, you can do a good deed and give your old appliances to people who really need them.
Reach out to a local charity that can assist you with this. Helping others will always be in style!
DIY Project
If you’re creative, you can always look up ways to turn your old household appliances into interesting house decor.
Fridge Turned Storage Cabinet
An old fridge can easily turn into a cool-looking vintage cabinet with just a little TLC. Deep cleaning is always a must, but only some will require rust removal and painting. Fridge shelves will help you organize your new pantry/cabinet, so every bit of what once was a fridge will have a good use.
TV/Microwave Aquarium
Putting water inside an electrical appliance might sound completely counterintuitive, we’ll give you that, but in this case, there will be no short-circuiting.
A really old TV, such as the one your grandparents used to have, can serve as an incredibly aesthetically pleasing aquarium that is guaranteed to have your guests intrigued.
The same thing can be done with your microwave, though the look will look less vintage and more steampunk in some cases.
Or you can always call an appliance removal service if you’re project doesn’t work out!
Washing Machine Drum Tabouret
You might think that there’s no way to make use of an old washing machine, but you’re wrong. The drum, with some cleaning, spray paint, and DIY needlework can turn into a cool tabouret or ottoman with added storage inside.
How cool is that?
