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. |
