Jules. Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 My new washer (dryer ) comes on Tuesday, so before I call the council & get them to take away my old washer are there any bits of it I can scavenge to use in a different way? I have thought about using the drum to perhaps grow someting in? I have also offered it on freecycle for spares. No takers yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I think the drum would make an excellent planter - not sure what else you could salvage though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 If you do a bit of research in your area you may find a company that takes on things like this,does them up & gives them to people who have been homeless & are just starting out,so can't afford new ones.

Guest Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You can also make an excellent BBQ out of the drum. The concrete blocks can be used to weight down A frame signs The door could be a porthole if mounted on the wall in a kiddies bedroom The waste pipe could be used link water butts together The hoses can be used on your new machine Oh my freind owns a washing machine shop so I've seen a few of these things done there. I bought a washing machine this morning off Ebay. I paid £26 quid for a machine that is less than a year old and in perfect working condition. Reason for sale - stupid youngsters who spend too much money. They have moved into a new (rented) flat and the kitchen is black and silver (it was hideous!) so they have bought a silver machine to match!!!! Lets hope the next place they rent doesn't have a white kitchen otherwise they will be buying another white machine!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
