If you’re fortunate enough to have experienced the benefit of having a cast iron tub over the years, you might be interested in getting rid of the tub and either replacing it or choosing a different one. The main problem that many homeowners find themselves facing is, can cast iron tubs be recycled? Recycling doesn’t necessarily mean bringing your cast iron tub to a recycling plant to be broken down, as you can use an existing tub for a variety of unique accent pieces around the house.
1. Agricultural Purposes
One of the main ways that you can recycle your cast iron tub is to offer it to any farmers or agricultural professionals in your area. You might find farmers who are willing to pay you for your tub because they can use it as a long-lasting trough for their animals. Depending on how hard pressed you are for cash, you could also give it away entirely for free.
2. Creating a Garden
Another unique way to recycle/repurpose your cast iron tub is to use it as an outdoor planter. Considering the cast iron will work perfectly with a variety of different types of paints, you can choose an elegant color and plant a variety of different flowers and plants on the inside of the tub, allowing the plants to flourish over the sides.
3. Party Tub
If you’re the type of homeowner that loves entertaining, you don’t have to think, can cast iron tubs be recycled? Mostly because you can keep the existing tub in your home and use it for parties. Instead of filling your fridge with alcohol and soft drinks, all you’ll need to do is buy a few bags of ice and fill the entire tub, putting the drinks in afterwards. It’s a unique, fresh, and urban way to give your guests easy access to refreshments meanwhile clearing space in your fridge.
4. Metal Scrapyards
If you’re not interested in keeping the tub around your house and if you don’t want to give the unit away for free, there’s also the option of calling a metal scrapyard. First, you’ll want to inquire as to if they’re interested in picking the tub up and breaking it down. In most cases, metal scrapyards will pay you for whatever they pick up, as long as the material can be sold again for a profit. If they’re unwilling to pay you for the tub, at least it’s a simple way to get an old tub off of your property.
