There is an opportunity to start a business just on recycling electronics. People really care about the environment but don't do much about about it. This is a way to assist them. Good luck!

I have a lot of labels left over. I use them to label paper folders, label the cords on my computer and stereo. I wish there were a cheap floppy drive I could attach externally to a Mac. I often need to carry less than 1.4 MB. Some small word processing files. Some source code. Outliner files. Lots of stuff fits in under 1.4 MB, esp. if you zip it. It's a lot cheaper than a thumb drive or a CD. It's easier to mail. I haven’t found a way to reuse old floppies, but I do reuse the labels. I have a lot of labels left over.

I removed the dividers, cut a 1/4" piece of plywood to the shape of the inside of the box and added short supports under the plywood to ensure it would stand up in the box. I drilled holes in the box and put my router bits in the box. The box protects the bits and the clear top allows me to look for the right bit without even opening the box.

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?

A friend uses hers an a business address book, all decorated and pretty. :) 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.
