Finding room in the kitchen to store the various bins needed for recycling can take up a lot of valuable cabinet space. Here Danny comes up with an innovative solution to the problem by installing chutes made from standard 4” dryer vent pipe that send cans and plastic bottles to bins located on a lower floor of the home.

What a great idea!!!!!!! As a woman who is having to renovate the house for an appraisal herself, because my husband recently had back surgery that failed, this seems easy enough for me to handle as well as taking an enormous problem out of the kitchen that until now I couldnt figure out how to handle correctly. It appears to be very cost effective. I am wondering if concrete tubing would do the same thing or if it would be cheaper..I have honestly never bought drier tubing, so I guess I will have to price it out:) again thanks!!!
