Wondering what to do with used containers?

Great idea about the charging cords. I have a couple Xerox paper sized bins in the garage and save all sorts of cans, jars and bottles until I find a use for them. When I have too many, I post on Nextdoor for crafters and always spoken for in a matter of hours. Below Reindeer party favors from taco sauce bottles and used gift wrap on tin cans for my plethora of coloring pens and pencils.

Great idea - storing your chargers...you could also use them for storing craft supplies.

Cereal or pasta as keeper, great for storing pens, crayons & markers, You could cut a slit in the top and make banks out of some of them., paint them with Unicorn Spit and turn them into vases, put healthy snacks in them, put crayons in them, add a coloring book and take them to the children's wing at your local hospital.

You can wrap decorative paper around them and use as containers for gifts or fill with cookies, candy or treats as party favors or neighbor gifts. Stack them together in a box laid on its side as tandem garage storage for matchbook cars. Use them for organizing craft supplies like pens, paint brushes, pipe cleaners, scissors etc.

Fill the container with rolls of doggie poop bags. if you put a small slice on the lid you can individually pull the bags thru the top and store the remainder underneath! Works great.

Store power cords for cell phones tablets etc

Hi Cassidey, there are SO many ways to make use of the containers you asked about. If you do a search on the web or even youtube.com you'll get so many creative ideas. Here's just one of the multiple links I found. It's great you are asking rather than just throwing the items away! Thanks for that! Once you start trying some of the ideas, you'll think of even more.

I love using these type of containers for these purposes. I also use for earbuds. My grand daughters love playing with these and fill with everything from marbles and candy to cotton we picked yesterday.

I use the clear long plastic containers for holding the many, many tubes of chapped lip sealer, so guilty of having too many of these. Probably have at least 25, no one has just 1.

I use different sized plastic containers for separating my art brushes. I separate the brushes I use with oils from the ones I use with acrylics.

here are some ideas for you

Our Crystal Light containers are used to keep pens/pencils from getting lost in the junk drawer. Also, they work as portion control when we buy giant bag of Tootsie Rolls from BJs for the pantry. I see a lot of people posted links that have sites showing vertical gardens and these probably would work well for that. You could paint them or wrap them with contact paper to match any decor.

I guess those little milk jug things could be used for Q-tips in the bathroom or toothpicks in the kitchen but I can't really see much use for them. Maybe as mini bud vase or succulents if painted and/or cut down.

great idea !!

The tall one from the drink mix is very good for pens, markers, or crochet hooks. I haven't use for that purpose but it would also work well to pack a few days worth of tampons and protect the wrappers from tearing in a gym bag, purse, or weekender. It's also a good way to pack flatware for a picnic (if the flatware is not too tall.) My favorite reuse is for tea storage; individual envelope teas can go right in or for celestial seasoning tea I gently pull the waxed paper pouch out of the box, cut off the top panel and tuck them in together so the print is visible.

You could donate them to schools and churches, maybe for a Y camp.
