My first thought is to cut it and use it as a scoop. Here are some more ideas:
http://www.wisebread.com/37-brilliant-ways-to-reuse-an-empty-milk-jug
our town has people save them, they wash and cut out a portion opposite the handle. Put some sand in the bottom and a votive candle. on Christmas Eve they line the main road coming into town with them all lit! Very pretty, could use to line your sidewalk, or driveway.
well anything ...bird feeders.. make it into a scoop of sorts..like dog/cat bird seed.. you could also paint it with rustrolium and make a bird house from it.. whatever you can think of ;];]
Fill them with water, put lids on and use them to fill up the empty spaces in your freezer. If the power goes out your food stays frozen, it takes a load off your freezer motor, you have block ice for picnics, and when they thaw out you have several gallons of clean drinking water!
I cut the top off (leaving the handle like a scoop) and use them to sort and store all my DIY bits and pieces.
There are always craft groups in Facebook.
I go on there, hit up the teachers.
Ask them if they need sour cream tubs/ cottage cheese containers, these milk jugs, toilet paper rolls; whatever we can use twice before going into the landfill helps the next generation
Sorry have never taken pictures. But I also lived on a lake for a while and they lined the lake with them on New Year's Eve. No pictures, just fond memories.
I love you guys!! Thanks for all your wonderful ideas...I have many of these jugs because of our need for distilled water. Bless you!!![](https://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f618.png)
I use them to store water in case my well goes out or I don't have electricity. to run my well.
Hello, hope this helps you out.
