If you’re like the most of us, what you do to your junk is just throw them in one bin. Of course, there are also these people that segregate plastics from this and that.

And then, there’s upcycling:

The recyclers are out in force. Whether it’s using a local recycle centre or a council-provided green bin, it’s never been easier to get your household waste processed back into useful raw materials. But that takes energy – and why spend that energy when this “rubbish” can be turned into something useful in its present form?

    Bah, who needs to turn a wine bottle into a wine glass when you can just guzzle it straight from the bottle?

    Upcycling seems to be a hipster way of saying "reusing."

    We need a company that recycles our crap instead of we recycling it..
    Give 'em the used wine bottles, and cans or stuff like that.. They give it back with a zing in it ;)
