OVJ Craft Wood Recycling Bin

The OVJ Craft Wood Recycling Bin is designed with makerspaces in mind, offering a compact yet purposeful way to manage creative waste. Built from sturdy light-toned wood, it measures 6 cm by 7.5 cm at the base and stands 10 cm high, making it suitable for keeping close at hand on worktables and crafting stations. Its form is clean and rectangular, with slightly flared sides that make it stable while also allowing scraps to be tipped out easily when full. The open top ensures quick and convenient use, while an optional narrow slot on the front can be included for finer waste such as paper strips or thread ends. Small side cutouts may serve as discreet handles, making the bin easy to lift and empty without interrupting the creative process.

More than just practical, the design carries a sense of sustainability and community that fits naturally into a makerspace environment. A smooth, sanded finish allows the wood to be left raw or oiled, giving it a tactile quality that reflects the handmade ethos of the space. The simple form can be customized with a laser-engraved recycling symbol or even the makerspace logo, creating a sense of ownership and shared responsibility. When not in use, the bins can be stacked or nested, making them easy to store without taking up unnecessary room. Compact, durable, and thoughtfully designed, the OVJ Craft Wood Recycling Bin helps keep creative spaces tidy while reinforcing the values of reuse and sustainability.
