Converting Dumpsters | Millennium Waste Inc.

If you thought dumpsters were used just for trash, we have some news for you! Dumpsters are being used for a variety of different projects today that some people may have never even thought possible. People and communities are becoming very creative and repurposing old dumpsters into new, useable items such as park benches and swimming pools.

Why are people converting dumpsters? Well, many people who choose to convert a dumpster because they are concerned about our environment. Converting dumpsters is a great way to help reduce the amount of scrap metal that is processed from worn or damaged trash dumpsters each year.

A few unique ways dumpsters have been converted are:

  • Dumpster pool - New York City worked together with real estate development firm Marco Sea converted three unused dumpsters into swimming pools for an annual Summer Street Fair in New York City, bringing all new meaning to the phrase “dumpster diving”!
  • Garden dumpsters - This unique dumpster garden and seating area is a great way to convert dumpsters. So take a break and smell the roses! Many cities are setting aside room for large green spaces, such as New York’s Central Park and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Michael Bernstein has been pushing New York to adopt bin gardens for over a decade. He said, “I was struck by how there are no trees down there,’ He then added, “I liked the idea that this could be a portable green space that's transported place to place. If you live in an urban place with no trees, you can get one of these delivered to your house. It's like a portable forest. ”
