Planters for flowers/herbs, etc. on a fence or house......you will have to cap the ends, but they make useful planters.
Maybe paint them bright colors, decorate them with painted flowers, drill holes in them and make a drip system.
Cut several to different lengths. Bury the bottoms in the soil and cap off with planters small enough to fit in the end pieces. Use trailing vines like sweet potato in some or vinca.
Pinterest has lots of great ideas on this:

Very few suggestions on how to recycle downspouts but many on gutters which was not asked for in my inquiry. Thank you to all.
