Photo: Innovative Waste CompetitionIn Eastbourne, UK, these folks are adding an extra value to waste. All competitors make something useful out of waste materials, that can be juggled for the longest. The juggler wins the first choice of sponsored prizes.
Recycle Cookie ContainersI recently helped a friend clean her kitchen during a surgery recovery. While she was chatting with me, I gathered some cookie and cake containers for recycling. I snagged them for my own use.
Other Uses for CardboardI use cardboard squares, which I cut out of cartons, etc., to put in the corner of the guinea pig cage and also in the ferret cage. These animals usually pick a couple of places to go and go there all the time, making this idea work.
Make Container Covers from Old SocksFor that daughter going to college, and has sorted her socks with the colorful tops. Hope you have saved them. You can slip glass, plastic, or cardboard containers into them for handy organizers.
Cold Sack From Cat Food BagRecycle a small cat food sack into a cold sack. Cat food bags are plastic coated and have multiple layers. Turn them inside out, wash by hand and you have a cold sack that really works great.
Make A Thrifty Recycled Drink ContainerI took a large plastic mayonnaise jar and a bendy soda straw and voila! a car cup. DH drilled the holes in the plastic jar lid since he doesn't like me playing with his power toys.
