Reuse, Reduce and Recycle is something we’ve all heard since grade school. Where sometimes you can upcycle things other times it’s best just to recycle. We have 5 more ways to reuse old gutters that can really simplify your life or is just fun!

Under Desk Organizer

This is a great idea if you find too many wires hanging down. Set your power strip in the gutter and run all the wires to it. This will give your desk a neater look and you’ll be reusing and recycling those old gutters. Here is a guide of how-to from @thisoldhouse. De-Clutter your work station and get back to work!

Landscaping Edging

This is a great idea for keeping your landscaping rocks in place. By using old gutters to reinforce and keep your landscape edging in perfect place, you can ensure for a great way to recycle your old gutters.  Make sure when placing your edging materials, lay a strip of landscape fabric underneath. This will prevent grass from growing up and around the gutters and save your time from weeding or removing the piece. Here is a great example by @thegardenglove

Race Track For Kids

We actually tried this gutter reuse out for ourselves. There is an elementary school across the road from us and they were looking for some gutters to use in their annual field day. So we donated some extra gutters to use in a game they had planned. We donated the gutters and they were used for duck races! The kids loved this game (and the squirt guns). You can find many different variations of this on pinterest to meet any age need. We’ve seen them used for cars, balls and more!

Wine Or Other Bottle Rack

This is a pretty cool idea especially if you have half round gutters or older wooden gutters. Use them as a wine or bottle rack for your kitchen or where-ever you keep your bottles. It doesn’t have to be a large run of gutter, but we thought this idea was pretty cool!

If we remove your old gutters and replace them, we do offer an option to recycle them for you or you can keep them. It’s up to you as a homeowner. To see more ways to reuse old gutters please check out our previous post!
