Recycle A Sink

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

No, that’s not my NEW sink!

That’s my OLD sink!

There is a will and a way to recycle or ‘upcycle’ just about anything!

This old cast iron/enameled sink is now sitting on concrete blocks, with a garden house running in where the faucet used to go. It’s used to rinse veggies right next to the garden. It’s a clever way to make use of what might have otherwise ended up in the garbage dump.

See, it has lots of use left in it yet!

Meanwhile, back in the house I’ve a stainless steel kitchen sink that’s easy to clean, shiny and bright and better suited for the way that we do dishes today. (It’s a two sided one, you wash on one side and rinse on the other.)

I bet my stainless sink will last just as long or longer than the one it replaced. Quality stainless steel kitchen sinks are built to last! To withstand dropped plates and pans, and resist staining and scratching.

Consider stainless – it’s timeless.
