A leaking hose can be difficult to recycle, but here's a simple way to upcycle it and control clutter around the hose. Use sharp shears (the kind for pruning bushes) to cut a section of hose, thereby making it an electronic cord organizer at home. Run all sorts of cords -- power for the TV, cable wires, USB cords for your personal electronics -- through the inside of the hose so they all stay together nice and neat.
