How can I reuse or recycle floppy disc boxes?

Categories: household, items, office, packaging

Floppy disc box We’ve had another email from our good suggesting friend, [Am]/Delusion:

Me again, I have just managed to find a company that will recycle floppy discs (as well as shred the confidential information) however now that the mass of floppies have gone I am left with several different shaped floppy disk boxes.

Any suggestions on what I could do with them?

I’ve attached a photo of three different styles of boxes i have!

We’ve got a couple of these lying around too and I’ve got one of those divider ones earmarked for that long, long, long awaited day that I get organised - I thought I could use it for recipe cards.

Any other suggestions?

We’re planning on using ours this year as small propogator-like boxes in the greenhouse.

oooh I like that, I have about four of those clear topped ones and one of them is the double sized one. Would give a good start to our seedlings! Thanks!

I have one that I use to file my fav recopies, just made some custom shaped cards and fill them up as I find things I like. A friend uses hers an a business address book, all decorated and pretty.

It’s THAT time of year again when I’m inundated with seed packets - vegetables, flowers, sow early, sow late, front garden, back garden, allotment - I desperately need to organise them better, and floppy disk boxes would be perfect.

Could have one for each month, one for each garden, one for indoor sowings, one for outdoors… Do you have LOTS of floppy disk boxes?

These make great containers in your cupboard/pantry for spice/seasoning packets. :)
