For science I have to make something out of garbage, recyclables, or something someone doesn’t want and was going to put it in the garbage anyways. Some other peoples ideas were making chairs out of broken hockey sticks, purses out of cardboard etc...Do you have any ideas on what I should make? Best answer gets 10 points !
Thanks in advance.

These sites will give you inspiration for your project. They each have a section for recycled projects.
I have taken a old pair of jeans, made two drawstring bags from the legs, and pocket purses with all the pockets. I have also taken an outgrown pair of overalls from my boys and made a backpack out of them. I love to find new uses for old items. Great luck to you!
Blessing!

I made a shop stool out of old car parts:
Base: Front Brake Rotor
Support: 1 + 1/2 Rear Spring welded together and to the base.
Seat Portion: '57 Chevy tire rim welded to spring.
Painted the base and tire rim with black gloss car paint. Springs were cherry red. The seat cushion was made from new materials, but could certainly be junked as well for your project.

On Google type in Recycled Crafts.
Use denim and empty tin cans for projects.

I don't know if it's what you are looking for, but I once made a windchime out of old/discarded silverware.
If you are crafty, you could make a blanket out of old clothes. I've seen some pretty cool ones made out of old jeans and flannel (from flannel shirts.)
Or you could recycle junk mail into decorative handmade paper or greeting cards.

I had the stickers plastered throughout my lunch pail. sooner or later the lunch room visual show unit woman instructed me i could not convey that element to college back. So needless to say I placed the stickers throughout each and every little thing I owned.
