It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

She Picked Up A Trash Can At The Dollar Store And Turned It In To An Actual Piece Of FURNITURE!

Hopefully there is a Dollar Store in your local area and hopefully you have accessed it’s wide array of treasures.

I am always amazed at how organization just seems to flow out of me after a trip there–whether I pick up drawer liners, bins, containers for art supplies or jars.

One thing I don’t really think of when I think of the Dollar Store is furniture.  But that just changed.  Click through to see this great idea…

  1. I am an avid shopper at the Dollar Tree stores and haven’t ever seen a trash can this size in their stores.please let me knoe if I can order it out of their retail book. Maybe she ment a family dollar or Dollar General .

  2. Besides all the negativity, I think it is an excellent idea.

  3. Dollar for the spray paint maybe lol

  4. So much negativity over a trash can, reallly.

  5. Those trash cans are sold at BIG LOTS NOT DOLLAR TREE. $29.99 large trash can.

  6. Good idea, but u can’t get a trash can that big there I have bought small metal ones for bathroom there, maybe the paint was a dollar

    Definitely@ Dollar General

  8. Lucy May says:

    I saw one area Dollar general for 850

  9. Good idea!
    Worked at Dollar Tree for 6 yrs
    Never sold anything that big!

  10. Never seen a trash can that large at Dollar Tree. Nice idea

  11. Yeah at Big Lots they sell the table and I don’t think is made out of a trash can!!!

  12. Good luck finding a trash can like that one for only $1…even at the cheap-o dollar stores!

  13. Good idea!! I’ll try it!!

  14. Got two trash cans collecting Dusty, making this this weekend

  15. News flash… A bottom of a trash can does not look like the top of these tables. These are metal plant stands

  16. Nice idea—but is it really negativity to point out that the trash cans are not at Dollar Tree but are found for $30 at Big Lots. Gee whiz!

  17. Is it really negativity to correct wrong information?

  18. That was my point, Betsy Battles–people were saying it was negative to correct the misinformation.

  19. Make trash cans great again!

  20. Gwen Smith says:

    Those are pretty cool.

  21. Dollar Tree…My favorite Store. I could live in there!!

  22. Becky Timko what are your thoughts?

  23. Becky Timko says:

    It’s amazing what you can make with stuff from dollar tree

  24. I bought mine at Dollar General for $8

  25. No, its says DOLLAR STORE. Dollar General carries many like this

  26. Jennifer Leigh. Bianca Trevino

  27. Yes I agree. I am a frequent shopper to the dollar tree store and visit different ones because merchandise can vary. I have not seen a trash can if that size there. But great idea and decor.

  28. The header photo is Dollar Tree—just scroll up and look— and the the body of the article says Dollar Store. A bit of misrepresentation there. If you are considering Dollar General, not all items are priced at a dollar. Items that large are RARELY if ever found in the Dollar Stores. Not their customer. Small trash cans maybe. Dollar General, where everything is NOT a dollar, may occasionally have a few because of a closeout and dependent on the area.
