I can't get myself to throw these out because I think there must be a cool project for them.

Most all water jugs are also recyclable and made into all kinds of things. I keep a bunch hidden under plant stands for times I don't want to get hoses out to water all my planter. It always gives me water that is warmer than what comes out of my hose so I don't like using too cold of water when it is real hot out and I think of what a cold shower would feel like when I am that hot.
If you have a freezer, fill empty spaces with gallon jugs of water, not quite full because water expands when frozen. 😇
Recyling does give them a new life.... they could wind up being a park bench, a tray in the cafeteria, etc.
Karen I would fill them up with water from your sink in case you lose electricity use them to flush the toilets with. Use them to cook with on a barbeque. (water)
I have seem them filled and used to hold down tarps or pool covers by tying rope through a groomet and around the gallon container's handle. I have also seen people cut off the bottoms then use them to cover plants in a garden until they get strong enough to survive. A final use is cutting them in half and taking them to the beach where the top part with the handle acts like a scoop for kids to use for sand or water and the bottom part can be used for to collect shells or as a mold for "bricks" to make a sand castle. Have fun!

Bird feeders
fill with water and poke a small hole or two in the bottom and they can be used as slow release watering container for larger landscaping plants. You can even add some liquid based fertilizer to the water if your plants need it.
Thanks a bunch! KB
Thanks for all the ideas! I will run out of jugs before I try them all! LOL
