1. Start by modifying the towel hooks so the shelving tracks can be attached to them. Use a utility knife to cut and remove any rubber or vinyl casing from the hook. If it's made of bent metal, place it in a vise and bend to straighten it out. Repeat for the other hook.
2. Depending on the type of materials you’re using, you may now be able to secure the top of the tracks to the hooks with a bolt, washers, and nut (see illustration). If necessary, drill a small hole through the track using the drill bit, and then attach. (Remember when drilling into metal to go slowly and wear safety glasses). Repeat for the other shelving track and towel hook.
3. To protect your door, glue felt or rubber feet to the back of the tracks and towel hooks.
4. Hang the tracks on a door, at a distance 2" less than the width of the bins. Attach the shelf brackets to the tracks so that the bins will be spaced evenly.
5. For each set of brackets, cut a short length of Velcro, remove one side of the backing and stick it to the top of each bracket. Remove the other Velcro backing and carefully place a bin on top. Press firmly so that Velcro strip adheres to the bottom of the bin.
6. Apply stick-on letters or decals to identify the contents (download a PDF of our decal graphics by clicking here or on the image below), and help do your part, one bottle, newspaper, or aluminum can at a time!
