Store range brass after it is cleaned and sorted?
buy bulk protein powder and refill them?
Store seed packets in them since they are dark?
Homemade laundry detergent container?
Kitchen composter?

great ideas, guys. I would love to do the homemade laundry detergent thing, but Im worried about what is safe for septic.
Lol, K I have some rice stored in a bunch of 2 liter bottles!

I came across this recipe, borax and washing soda are suppose to be safe for septics I believe
Ingredients
1 bar of soap (Zote or Fels-Naptha brands, Ivory or homemade soap)
1/2 cup Borax
1/2 cup WASHING Soda (not BAKING soda!)
Water
5 gallon bucket
Instructions
Grate soap with a cheese grater
Place shreds in medium saucepan with several cups water
Heat and stir until soap pieces are dissolved
Add Borax and Washing Soda and stir until dissolved
Pour in a 5 gallon bucket, filling 3/4 full with hot water
Give it a good stir, and let sit undisturbed overnight
The finished product will be a gloppy chunky gel
I store it in bulk in a 5 gallon bucket and use a smaller container for my laundry room
Notes
To use: add 1/4-1/2 cup per load of laundry (less for cloth diapers)
