Build your own recycling console table with integrated charging station.  Narrow enough to fit in a hall, but versatile enough to help you stay organized, build it with free plans from Ana-White.com

Designed and built by Family DIYnamic

Get a little more organized and build yourself a recycling console table with charging doc!  The cords are hidden, the trash cans are hidden, but the functionality is all there!

This makes such a great drop zone.  Sort and recycle mail, bottles, papers.  Charge up those phones and tablets.  And a little desktop space for setting things on in transition.  This project can be modified easily to suit your needs and space.
