DIY Projects with Recycled Metal

Recycled Metal

When it comes to metal recycling, BCM Scrap Steel and Transport are the experts. We can take care of scrap metal and no job is too large or too small for us to handle.

We can provide bins to collect scrap metal and then can haul it away and repurpose it somewhere else. This is valuable for businesses that produce a lot of scrap metal, but there are some cool DIY projects you can do with some of the metal that gives it new life. Check out these ideas.

Make a Chess & Checkers Set

If you have a lot of scrap fasteners, such as nuts and bolts, lying around, you can repurpose them into a one of a kind chess and checkers set. Simply paint each set a different colour and use them on a traditional game board for a brand new way to play an old classic. This makes a great gift for people who are into unique handmade items. 

One of a Kind Handles

Are you looking for a way to create a unique style in your kitchen? Scrap metal may be just what you’re looking for. You can use the scraps left over from cutting beams and tubes and fashion them into handles for your cabinet doors. You can create a look that you won’t see in any other kitchen. This is a cool way to upgrade and industrial style choice in your home. 

Welded Sculptures

The great thing about using scrap metal to make welded sculptures is that they can be large or small and can take on a life of their own. Use old bike chains, tubes or other bits and pieces to construct animals, people and just about anything you can envision. This is a fun project for kids and adults and a great way to use up some scrap metal you have lying around. 

Unique Hooks

Hooks come in handy for many purposes - hanging coats in your mudroom or for displaying artwork, for example. You can manipulate scrap metal into a hook that isn’t like any you’ve ever seen. You can make them for gifts or as a cool way to upgrade the style in your house. This is a great beginner project if you’re new to working with metal or want to start with something small.
