Uses for a 39 oz. plastic coffee container?

Question

Small town does not have recycling except for aluminum cans about half way to the next town. So far I have used them for carmel corn, cookies at christmas and refrigerator containers prior to freezingg veg soup, etc. All the people have given me their cans of all sizes. Is there a boy or girl scout project for them? This is a re-cycle question to avoid filling the one dump we have in this county.

Answer 1

Poke some holes in the bottom and plant them:) ....You could spray-paint a bunch of them, and let the boys paint designs on them for gifts for their mom (HINT:  If you put a big paper coffee filter in the bottom, the dirt won't go through the holes) ..... .....  Or, the boys could use them as drums......OR... I remember being in girl scouts and making candles, by pouring the melted wax into milk cartons.  There might be a way to make candles in those, if you could get the container off later.  Maybe someone in the craft section here could help you with that.  It would be a good scout project for Christmas presents.  I think we had glitter and sequins on the sides of the candles too.....

Answer 2

I went to this enviro-store and they actually had an entire section of stuff made of aluminum cans. They had everything from purses to model trains!!!!! Try searching for ideas online!
