Sensibly Green - creating green habits one step at a time.

Instead of tossing out that bottle, ask can it be reused first? You may be missing a chance to reorganize the garage or creating materials for a fun project with the kids. More often than not, after a good cleaning, everyday items can be used for other purposes before hitting the blue bin.

Listed below are a few ideas for common products:
    Vegetable Cans - containers for nuts, bolts, and other handyman items.
    Jelly Jars - plant pots for the kitchen or office.
    Milk Jugs - containers for gardening chemicals or watering pots.
    Spray Bottles - use for bug or plant sprays.

Fun with the kids:
    Cardboard Boxes - great for action figure dioramas (Star Wars being my recommendation).
    Plastic Bottles - Terrarium Projects
    Clothes - crafting smocks or materials, or dress-up costumes.

If items are difficult to recycle, consider donating them to local charities. Try creating a De-Accumulation Bag.
