Question of the Week - How do you Recycle food contain...

[Guest guest]

I recycle a lot through my daughter's school. The teachers reuse ice cream

tubs, paper towel and toilet paper tubes, lots of different things for

projects.

I too buy large sizes and refill smaller size bottles. I save aluminum cans

for melting candle wax, and yogurt containers and creamer bottles for candle

forms. I save remnants of candles for remelting.

We compost kitchen waste. Other things too but I can't think of what just

now. amy

the bugs won't get into it. amy

Since we are a cat household, my yarn for crochetting is kept in the bucket

with a small hole in the middle of the lid for the yarn to come out. It keeps

the kits from getting into my yarn and making a mess of it.

 

 

our new dog likes yarn too, so I'm going to have to do this for my knitting.

We reuse large tubs like that too, for dogfood, de-icer, take them to work

for all manner of things.

Many years ago my mother-in-law made me a bag like that out of, if you can

believe, out old Clorox bottles. Cut them up into squares, punched holes

around the edges, crocheted the squares together and then turned the squares

into

a bag with a lining yet. Not exactly my taste, but certainly unique.

I remember when our dogs were pups and would get into the yarn. Their creations

resembled some rather abstract art. For the bucket, burn a hole through the lid

with something like a woodburning tool or soldering gun. If you cut the hole

rather than burn, it might be rough and cut your yarn. Love the buckets...you

can through the pattern, hooks, yarn and everything in and carry it with you. I

always wanted one of those nice yarn/hook/pattern bags but the buckets are free,

waterproof and so far the animals haven't figured out how to get them

open...unlike the refrigerator which we have to keep shut with bungie cords.

Any tips on recycling those small styrofoam coolers that medication from the

specialty pharmacy is shipped in? I saw one idea for using them as patio

planters for herbs and flowers.
