According to something I read the other day, Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eaves hates all the wellington boots that are abandoned after the mud-fest that is the Glastonbury Festival these days. He apparently said: “I hate to see wellies being ditched. We really need to find a way of recycling them.”

…. So any suggestions?

We went for a walk in a local wood the other weekend and while we were walking around, I saw one of those plastic things that holds together four packs of (usually drink) cans.

It was still intact so I picked it up to tear it apart (none of the non-existent deers that are supposed to live in that wood would be choke on it on my watch) but as I did so, it made me wonder whether those seagulls-killers have any possible reuses.

Any suggestions?

We got rid of a load of old VCDs the other day (to make room on a shelf for the books that were piled up on the floor).

We already know how to re-use the CDs themselves thanks to the multitude of suggestions a few months ago but what about the cases?

They’re the square(ish) hard but clear plastic type.

Any ideas?

I think this is up there with printer toner and ink cartridges: lots of places – including some charities – take them to reuse or recycle – but does anyone have any particularly noteworthy suggestions?

This (albeit badly photographed) pizza box support thing has been sat around on our table since we last had take out pizza.

It looks infinitely useful in a misc supportive way but aside from as a patio in a dolls house, we can’t think of anything to do with it.

Any suggestions?

(If you don’t know what I mean by that stunningly vague name I’ve given the entry, it’s about 3cm high and about 2cm in diameter and it is put in the middle of the pizza box to stop the centre of the box caving in when boxes are stacked or stuff, like side orders, are balanced on top of the box. They’re very useful to avoid sticky cheese situations.)
