This is similar to my clay recycling bin. I took an old apt size
refrigerator, took out the innards, used duct tape to cover the hole in
the back, and put wheels on what was the back. It makes a good airtight
place to store the clay that comes out of the pugmill, and I have used it
for years. They are easy to find when people discard them or sell them
cheaply at garage sales.

If you want a recycled refrigerator, I suggest going to a company that
is in the business of disposing of them. If you do it yourself you will
release ozone-depleting compounds to the atmosphere instead of having
them recycled properly. Around here it costs about $35 to dispose of a
refrigerator.

While I'm on the subject, for an amusing idea of how to become famous
check out the real fridge-cam at www.electrolux.com.
