I can't get myself to throw these out because I think there must be a cool project for them.
Spray paint them all the same color and use them for storage. You can buy inexpensive shelving units at most big box stores and put them on there.
Stack and arrange them for "cubby" type storage.
Sit down. No seriously!!

Use "as is" in the bottom of closets for organization. They stack, so take advantage for storing out of season items, items in a shed. Since they stack, you don't need a lid - just something for the top of the top one.
They are waterproof, turn them over for quick seating around a fire pit. (just don't get too close) .
Great for storing supply of water (in gallons) for emergencies / storms - gallon jugs fit in, just like milk does. Can be stacked.
