1/2 gallon milk cartons

Can you guys tell me some ways to repurpose 1/2 gallon milk cartons? The paper ones with the spout. I am seeking to minimize my garbage and reuse everything that I possibly can. I realize that this is one item I throw away regulary. Any ideas?

Bird feeder perhaps.

If you or your hubby fish they are great for filling with fresh fillets and put enough water in to cover the fish. Then freeze upright. They are the best for this as you can continue to stack them in the freezer.

If you plant seeds for a garden they are great transplanting pots.

Cut off the top spout and use them as storage containers...great for crayons, screws, bolts, nails.

Preschool, kindergarten and elementary classes generally appreciate having these donated for class projects such as planters, birdfeeders, arts and crafts as well as science-like projects. They also love getting egg cartons. Give them a call.
