I was wanting to know if anyone out there has some great tips on reusing regular items in the house for things. I love it when I find double uses for things that I buy a lot or have around the house... for Ex: many of us use our plastic bags from the store for things. I use my store bought pizza boxes to cut my pizza on. I just break them down until they are flat and then use the to put the pizza on to cut and serve for an easy clean up. I use old wine bottles for decorating and I put the corks in a decrative bowl for a cool look on a table. Things like this. I would love to hear what you do as well.

black buckets from plants/trees you buy are excellent for weeding and carrying things in. Hard plastic bowl from certain microwaveable junk. Gallon milk jugs for cutting flap and putting slug bait in. And for washing and storing water. Large cardboard for going underneath a car or tight space. Poke holes in old hose and cap the end for watering. And of course twist ties and rubber bands. .

If you cut your wine corks in half lengthwise and glue these to a board or piece of wood they make wonderful insulated mats for the table. You can use these for placing hot items.

We have really good recycling in my town so I recycle almost everything.
