I know most yogurt containers are recyclable these days, but I still dislike throwing out things that could be repurposed. I am reusing my empty yogurt containers for starting my spring garden seedlings.
The yogurt containers I use have bottoms that are easily cut out. The bottomless containers are placed on a flat plastic tray. Dirt, seeds, water, and fertilizer can be placed in the container. Voila, instant seedling starters. Then when they are ready to go into the garden, you just dig a hole and the place the container over the hole and push the new seedling out. Friendly reminder, don't let the seedling get too big or you'll have to cut the container off.

I don't make my yogurt containers bottomless. I've found the plants will tap out with little effort. I do make several drain holes.
To your good tip, I would like to add that if these containers are not exposed to long periods of sun light (weeks), they can be reused for a few years.
Thumbs up!
