#3 Egg cartons
As the picture above suggests, you should not be hasty and throw away your egg cartons. Not only can you use them for various garden DIYs or for growing seedlings, you can also use them around the kitchen. You can easily portion out foods in advance and freeze them up like that. We suggest you try this with meatballs or cookie dough, so you can just throw them in the oven when you need to!
What’s more, they are perfectly good cardboard boxes made for delicate items, so you can use them to store some of your most fragile Christmas ornaments!
#4 Old hair ties
The same goes for old hair ties! You should not go all out and buy elastic bags or kitchen clips so fast. If you have someone in your household who has long hair, or even if they have recently cut their hair, you are bound to have a lot of these lying around! Don’t throw them away. Use them to close opened bags of dried goods or to seal all kinds of boxes you know you will consume in the near future.

Already do all of these except : I give all my used old towels to my local Veterinarian. They are always in need of soft things to line cages and clean up messes. Call you local Vet and ask if they need them as donations.
