Scrapped a Fridge

Recently sent an old fridge to its final resting place. Looked inside at all that plastic and saw two pet dishes where I should have been seeing food bins. So I took them out of the door, put them side by side and said, "It is good." Don't know if I'll actually attach them, depends on how much my OCD kicks in LOL. To make it somewhat tractor-related, I used my FEL to toss the fridge in the back of my pickup..

Anyone know if this plastic is PVC? If so, is it possible to use that PVC cement I use when I'm fooling around with plumbing jobs? Not sure if it needs a tight fit like you have with fittings, pipes, etc.

I have two fridges in my shop. One works and is used for food and beverages, the other is dry, mouse-proof storage.
 
Remember when the good old Norge was recyclable? The
crisper bins got used as drain pans. The ice cube trays were
saved for nuts and bolts. The shelves got fitted to the old
cistern sink for a Red-Green charcoal bar-b-q. If the cabinet
wasn?t tipped over for a chicken feed bin you could knock the
door off for a sled to haul feed sacks in the winter and tip the
open cabinet over to hold fishin? bait in the summer.
 
I remember back in the 50's when warnings came out not to use the shelves for BBQ racks because the coating on them was bad for you.

I do too. I let them dry out for a few weeks with the door open and then plugged them back in with the fridge off so I would have a light inside. One has all of the service manuals for the farm sorted out and the other has all of the oil additives, brake fluid, sealants, etc. The little stuff that usually sits on a shelf and gets dusty is now protected along with all of the oil filter wrenches. I remember as a kid we did the same thing but they all had huge holes drilled in them as they were the kind that would latch. Now days they just push open.
 

Enjoyed reading all the uses for old refrigerators. I remember taking out an ancient GE fridge with small freezer up top. Probably a 1950s model that was in an in-law apt in the basement of my old house. Probably one of the heaviest appliances I've ever moved. It hadn't been run in probably twenty years, but when I plugged it in it still worked.
 
A friend of mine got some of the refrigerators used at gas stations that have the glass doors. Don't have to open the door to see what's in them should you forget which one you put something in for storage. Even has a working for bottled water, etc really nice.
