How-To Bottle Brick

Bottle Bricks are plastic bottle stuffed full of inorganic landfill trash (plastic bags, wrappers...etc) until they become compressed like bricks. Bottle bricks are used around the world to build benches, houses, school buildings, and other structures. It is best for the bottles to be of similar size. Its crucial that you use a sturdy stick to compress the trash inside the bottle.
