Is there any practical use for empty plastic 2 litre milk containers? I hate putting them in the bin!?

Question

Maybe craft/gardening/household?

Answer 1

Cut the bottom off at a slant, and you have a scoop for birdseed, potting soil and pet food. Cut partially in half and slip in a ball of twine, feed the end out the top and you have a twine holder that keeps it all clean, and a handle to transport it with. Use a funnel and refill it with dried beans, barley, popcorn, or anything else that comes in plastic bags partial to getting holes. Use them to hold dilutions of your favorite cleaning products - labeled well of course. Fill with water and freeze, for summer picnic coolers and keeping food cool and safe. They will also provide ice cold water to drink at the site. The bottom half,filled and frozen, makes a perfect size ice cube for a punch bowl, and can be filled with whatever liquid you like to make it. They can also be filled with potting soil for use as plant pots, for starting plants for the garden early if you want to grow a tomato plant, or such that needs to get some size before transplanting. Once the garden is planted, you can cut off the bottoms and use them over tender plants to protect them from a freeze and a cut section over a tomato plant can be left in place to discourage cutworms and such. Keep in mind it's food grade plastic, so it's safe for whatever food you like to store inside. You can find even more uses once you get started.

Answer 2

My neighbors put out gallon jugs during the winter and fill them with water, which subsequently freezes. They string some Christmas lights so there is a light in the top of each jug. At night they turn them on and the jugs glow. It's not exactly my taste, but I have to admit it puts out a lot of light.
