Either buy ones that are loose or, if you do find yourself gettingthe odd one, they eally do make great drawer separators.

I save these tubs and use them as paint-trays for painting. They’re a nice size for holding and dipping a brush, and can also work for the mini-rollers

While we try to avoid them when possible, we do end up inheriting several a year with various produce.

This may be the same as the drawer suggestion above, but I find that they’re the perfect dimensions for the bathroom (under the sink) cabinets, where we store our extra supply of products. With a sharpie, I list which tub is for soaps, teeth care, emergency, illness, etc.

If you have the clear ones, you could use those Above your seedlings as a mini-propagator on windowsills to keep the chill out when they’re young.

I’d love some good ideas for the ever famous mushroom container. I just bought one today and I hate throwing them away. Maybe if you get enough of them you can use it to soundproof your home based recording studio??? :-)

Some of the companies that pack mushrooms into those plastic trays for supermarkets are amongst the worst environmental offenders. Monaghan Mushrooms, who supply Sainsbury’s, were fined in December 2007 for waste disposal offences.

Buy your mushrooms from a responsible local greengrocer!

Call your recycle center and find out if they can take them. Ours here is very knowledgeable about what can and can’t go.

Feed the cat with one of them :)
