Reusing Old Water Garden Hoses

After spending a few month or years usage of your water hose, your purchase may not be useful anymore. Once you no longer need these hose or they’ve reached the end of their usable lives, what should you do with them? The answer is almost always reuse repurpose or recycle, but garden hoses are not recyclable through L.A.’s curbside recycling program. It's generally made from reinforced PVC with a web of fibers or synthetic rubber and threaded brass, metal or plastic connectors on the ends. Garden hoses must be put in the black trash bin because the snakelike hoses can tangle and damage the sorting equipment at recycling facilities. However, the metal ends can be snipped off and recycle and the hoses can be reuse. So keep browsing to learn what to do with common garden water hoses.
