Don’t throw it away!
You might be throwing away things that you could use again. There are plenty of created ways to make treasure out of your trash. Here are a few ideas:
Use your old mustard or ketchup squeeze bottles as a cake decorating tube.
Use a cardboard box and manila folders for a filing system.
Give the stuffing paper from purses, book-bags or shoes to the kids for drawing paper.

You can use a shoe box as a place to keep your incoming mail.
Keep old book bags, as long as they don’t have holes. You can use them for day trips, or a flight carry-on.
Use paper and plastic bags from the grocery store as garbage bags. You can also reuse the bags to carry new groceries. (Some stores will give you a $0.02 credit for each reused bag.)
Use the Styrofoam from packages to create a model size snow town for your kids’ little toy characters.
The possibilities are endless! Be creative!
