DID YOU KNOW?
The bounce mats used for most trampolines are made from woven polypropylene and that material is recyclable – it’s a #5 plastic – so is, in theory, recyclable wherever #5 plastic is collected. The trampoline frame and springs can be recycled for steel scrap at a local metal scrap yard.
But, why not find a creative way to keep it and use the components! Do you need a garden? Outdoor seating area? Swinging Bed?

Other DIY ideas include some additional thinking outside the bin!
Outdoor Living Area transformed from Trampoline to Outdoor Ambiance Seating Area: Trampoline’s jumping surface is made into a weed mat, metal circular frame is used for edging and accent lighting and springs are painted for decoration.
