Milk Jugs

Cut off the top and they make a great storage bins for crayons and hot wheels, logos. Half-gallon sizes cut off are good for pens and pencils. Hey some have taken them to make Easter baskets for small ones, just a little imagination even trick or treat buckets.

It can be a real handy scooper, for bird seed or grass etc. and this may a sound a little off but if you have a dog. When you take them for a walk you know what scooper.

Really they can come in handy for other uses I have seen them cut a hole like on the top of one side and put bird food in them then hand them with a rope by the handle, on a tree but watch the squirrels they love to get some to.
