There are many bottles littered in garbage heaps, road sides and walkways. These bottles pose a danger to the environment. However, this danger can be avoided if these bottles are put to use.

Jovan Kyambadde, a student of Uganda Christian University, Mukono, says someone can make a dust bin out of plastic bottles.

 
How it is made

He says these bottles can be collected, washed and using nails, reeds and wire, one can make a dust bin for home use.

Kyambadde says you can attach the bottles from bottom to the top until the cylindrical shape of the dust bin is formed.  

Fold the wire to form the neck of the dust bin and the handles, which are used to lift the dust bin.

“This dust bin adheres to all weather conditions and is easy to clean,” he says.
