Rethink Rubbish offers the following five DIY tips for recycling in the garden:

- Cut empty drinks bottles in half to use as planters or bird feeders.
- Use empty yoghurt pots, small aluminium cans or papers egg cartons for seedlings.
- Cut old tyres in half to make into flower planters.
- Choose garden items made from recycled materials such as reclaimed railway sleepers or garden furniture made from recycled plastic.
