During the day the roof raises up to reveal two rectangular windows and at night it can be cranked down to hide the windows and return the dumpster to its natural state of being. The dumpster has all the luxuries a person would ever want in their home, including a flat screen TV where you can watch your favourite films on DVD. This and more are what Kloehn has in mind, a neat idea to enhance fabricated living spaces.

Dumpster transformed into a Home

Well here is something different. Perhaps it can fit in well with people who don’t have much love for various things in their living space, the Blue Garbage Can and Clock can save you a lot of space.

While it does seem a bit off as far as how to conceptualize things, you have to agree that the idea is indeed worth the applause. A two-for-one deal for sure, this is one of those unique inventions that should come in handy, especially for people who want multi-functional stuff to complement their home or pad. It is being offered for $6.50 over at Etsy if you are interested.

The Blue Garbage Can and Clock

Here is a piece of table made for the avid golfers. The La Gota Table may not necessarily be your conventional table but will certainly tie you up as a golf addict. It comes with an ingeniously simple design that will keep your space tidier than ever, this table is equipped with a hollow leg fit for all your trash.

This table was designed by Timothy Emmott and seems to be more practical beyond its built-in garbage feature.

Here is another idea for people who want to turn garbage into something useful. This time we have an old record that has been turned into a neat looking wall clock. Turn those old 45 vinyl records into something handy, place some numbers or even paint it in whichever theme you would like.

Or if you don’t want to go through the trouble, you can get one of these 45 record clocks at the Urban Outfitters for only $30. None of the clocks that are sold will be quite the same, since they have an assortment of records. These clocks will require a AA battery to keep up and running and the clock itself measures 7” in diameter.

For the people who want something ingenious when it comes to cleaning up some waste, you don’t have to use your actual vacuum cleaner as a whole to get the job done. As you know, the important part of a vacuum is the actual unit the sips the dirt and garbage out of the messy flooring. But rather than worry about cleaning it up later, here is a disposable way wherein you can just use an old bucket to store the waste after vacuuming.

The concept is also ideal for vacuum cleaners that have broken holders. Rather than buy a new one and leave a perfectly functioning vacuum on the shelf, this alternative can save you some big bucks. The BucketVac is a very simple concept whose name says it all: a shop-vac attachment that easily fits on the top of any 5-gallon bucket. Just snap it into place, and you have something to clean up any wet or dry spills.

There has to be something weird about this Spelta Lamp. You may even mistake it for a garbage can but then again, concepts and designs come in different forms and sizes. And for the Spelta Lamp, it makes use of “interwoven transparencies stretched to create a soft and organic form.”

The rectangular modules of polypropylene are interchangeable and can be swapped for different materials, colors and finishes, all at the user’s whim.

Just don’t start throwing pieces of trash on to it since it may seem tempting.

There are people who throw out dilapidated furniture, most of which may have been damaged or worn out. But while you think that they are outside waiting to be picked up by the regular trash collector, don’t be surprised if you see it refurbished and sporting an image of its past life or even origin.

People like Alexena Cayless turn garbage into gold and her line of work which was exhibited at the Eco Age and Beyond Valley in London. She has given forgotten furniture into classic pieces and are bound to be a new trend when it comes to new furniture for your home.

Flytipped Furniture from Alexena Cayless

We are all aware that some furniture designs normally originate from creativity and resourcefulness. Apparently, barrels which are familiar to us as containers for perhaps wine are overlooked once their contents are consumed. Where are they to go? For sure, dismantling them and perhaps making them firewood for some may be ideal but in both counts, you are hitting the garbage and the pollution problem if these are the actual things you have in mind.

But if you are like Jonathan Black, who has the knack for transforming barrels into something useful and unique, maybe you too can think of a good design and use for barrels often referred only as storage.

A bistro table or a hanging pot rack? A barrel head serving tray or a lazy Susan?

A carved clock or a wall cabinet?

“I’ve been doing this so long now I can take a barrel, look at that barrel, walk around it and look at all the different staves on the top and the bottom and determine exactly what product that barrel is going to make — how it is best served,” he claims.

Making Furniture Designs out of Barrels

If you notice, a certain odor will fill the air if you don’t properly place and control your garbage. With this Compost Bucket, you can avoid such odors which are not only bad for the sense of smell but may attract disease bearing insects and rodents in your home.

Rather than make daily trips to the compost pile because of smelly, compost-bound scraps, this countertop or under-cabinet Compost Bucket has built-in, activated-carbon filters to absorb odors. Toss in vegetable scraps, tea bags, eggshells and other organic materials, then take to the compost pile later.
