Cleaning those things off of streetcorners is a simple and rewarding way to beautify your city. Also a source of stiff wire that comes in handy for crafts where a coat-hanger isn't quite beefy enough. (I make all sorts of hooks and hangers and brackets out of it.)

- alanbernstein 3y agoHa, it's good to encounter a fellow trash-wire-upcycler. I mostly use it for simple hooks, how do you use it for brackets?

- alanbernstein 3y agoAh, I like that. The wire I get from old lawn signs is steel though, not quite so easy to hand-form around sharp corners like that. I use a steel pipe as a guide to bend it into S-hooks. Trying to match the dimension of a rectangular object would be tricky.
