    Great to till with water or sand to provide weight, I use in place of traffic cones for obstacle for horse training. When finished using the and putting in a large net bag just pour out the water. Can also use to elevate a pole to have horse to pay attention to its feet and pick them up when coming to an elevated pole that does not need to be jumped, but does need higher movement. I collected the empty containers from work because I needed a couple dozen to use for the arena, to mark the outline of a circle to practise making 30 M circles

    Started having problems with roaches I have used the folders containers for most of my dry goods and me kitchen cooking needs. I also use them to organize my paints I am usually working on at least two to three paintings at once and I find the story the small acrylic paint bottles into these containers and then marking them with a number that coincides with the painting helps me to keep the right colors in one place. I also creat a paint swatch to put on top to help me get back on track!

    Here’s one that I used years ago when my first grandchild was born you take an empty large coffee canister, and a roll of paper towel the the towels are just about 3 inches too tall but if you take an electric knife and cut it and put the cut down, you can alcohol wipes you can make Clorox wipes when my grandchild is born. If you take the medium size one you could make two canisters of diaper wipes, you can use the paper towels or you can use the more expensive ones. I like bounty paper towel or even sparkle but if you add baby wash and warm water and a cap of alcohol that will keep your babies bottom fresh just cut an X in the lid for the center core out and Walla perfect wipes for everything I did this during the pandemic and I added essential oils or there was a cleaning one. It was called thieves you just add your water to it and an ounce of thieves and you’ve got wipes for a month or more, I also use Melaleuca. They got several different types of cleaning supplies that you could use with the paper towels happy cleaning.

    One thing to remember is if you get a gift in one of these containers, you should be willing and ready to return the container if the person needs it back. One time I knew someone who gave fruit baskets. When the basket was empty, she requested the baskets to be returned for reuse. Recipients returned them as requested so the senior woman could reuse them to give people fruit baskets again in in the future. If you have someone who doesn't drink much coffee and then they reuse these containers, one thing you could reuse them for is for smaller packs of coffee if you really want to keep these containers

    It would also help to not buy coffee in plastic containers.
    Buy beans and buy a coffee bean grinder if you don't have one. Even a cheaper brand can last several years with general maintenance.
    With your desired grinded coffee, store in glass mason jars, ones that have a good seal is best. This way you wont have to keep buying those plastic containers

      @@zac1375 It didn't go unnoticed. Some people simply cannot edit or delete their put downs before they spew them to others. Some people do not realize that everyone isn't an adult. They don't realize that information doesn't come from the air. We must learn everything we know, and all information comes from other people originally. If we don't keep spreading information and just let it go because we think everyone already knows everything, then we deprive young people from learning. Repeated information is important, no matter how mundane.

    I can't believe that in this whole presentation no mention was made about the biggest selling point of re-using these coffee containers: the large grooves that allow you to pick it up with one hand. You can place it up high on top of the refridgerator, and retrieve it with one hand (for cookies and protein bars). Organize small tools and material in the shed/garage. Or even sprinkling salt on an icy sidewalk wearing gloves. Or picking crabapples on a ladder!... Very "handy"

    This must be why I have 2 clear contractor bags of them. I only need 5 for animal food scoops.

    Does anyone know a good way to eliminate the coffee scent. I have tried the dishwasher. Baking soda, vinegar. Nowhere works so far
