Plastic milk bottles

[Stour-boy]

Its not often I come up with a bright idea "well I think it is" but instead of chucking your plastic milk bottles(the square shaped ones from supermarket) away or recycle them they can come in handy for numerous uses,ie.

1 cut the square end of at an angle and it makes a super pooper scooper and use the cut of end to flick the poop in.

 

2 storage boxes, cut the side out just below the handle and you have a handy receptacle, for nails screws etc.

 

3 As above but for paint, cleaning brushes,etc.

 

4 2 litre bottle for the dogs drinking water, along with the cut of bottom (about half way up of another 2litre milk bottle) to serve as a drinking bowl it slides over the bottom of the one thats carrying the water saving space time and money. This way you can share the dogs water as you would drink it from the one that has the water not the bowl as some would.

 

5 Not tried it yet but you could cut the bottom of again at an angle cut serated teeth into the lower edge and the sides come to that, use it for picking hedgerow fruits like black berries etc.

 

Have you found any other uses for them yet ? You can always recycle them when you have finished with them.

I have heard that truck drivers use them when taken short!

Someone mentioned that they are pretty near the size of an adult rabbit.

Paint it up and use it to guage your distances (in the dark?)

i once saw someone with one they cut the top few inches off so it still left the handle intact and put the trousers belt through it and used it as a battery holder when lamping

We anchor them and use them as jug sets for catfishing..

Use them on the ends of bamboo canes to stop me poking my eyes out, seriously, you only get one set !!

Fill them with water, shoot them (end on) for fox kill zone practice at 150 / 200 / 250 ......as far as you like

Cut in half then top downward cable tie handle to edge of larsen / crow traps and use for water, when it gets too mucky drain by unscrewing top and flush out.

Cut a bigger opening on one side of the top and use as a bailer to remove water from bottom of boat, also useful when caught short out on the loughs.

i cut them in have and turn upside down, good for putting the used tea bags in since i throw out the small green thing that was supplied by council for recycling!!!

I cut the tops off them, make a few holes in the bottom and then use them to grow oak/chestnut trees. When the roots have grown all around the bottle (about a year) I then pass the trees onto a farmer who plants them around his farms.

Try reading them tripe womens mags like what my missus buys, they have all them ideas in what you can do from a plastic milk bottle to a clothes peg.

 

Personally I only read them for the smut stories like 'I bedded my father in law and fathered 19 children by 21 different blokes and claim 90k on benefits' sort of touch.
