I'll take good-sized glass bottles and use them for left-overs many times over, before I recycle them. I take old ripped flannel sheets and cut them into squares for any number of uses, until they are super-soft, and then I give them to my hubby for guitar-polishers.

I always re-use containers from take out meals.. mostly foil containers that can be washed out and then used again to store leftovers etc.. rather than leaving dishes in the fridge.

Here's another way you can use the foil containers after they've gotten too beat up for storing food.If you have fruit trees,( or berry plants) hang them in the branches. It scares the birds away from the tree with the sun flashing off the foil.
