Dumpster Dive for Your New CD Rack
Posted under Uncategorized
I am spending my Saturday morning looking up some DIY plans for some home projects such as bookshelves and book cases. I stumbled upon a pretty cool writup on how to turn some old wooden shudders into a decorative CD rack. It appears to be a pretty easy project for anyone needing to store their CDs in something other than a pile.

Communities and individuals are beginning to reclaim all kinds of things from houses that are being torn down or from the curbside waste piles. There are several in the Toronto, Ontario, area. These salvage depots are wonderful to look through for discarded objects that can have a second life. Many of the materials used in homes today are reproductions made from pressed wood or plastic. In these reclaimed materials warehouses, one can find originals made from high quality wood that isn’t available any more. It’s a shame to just put the good stuff in a landfill and replace it with plastic or pressed-wood preserved with formaldehyde, when the same or better objects can be found in the salvage shops.
