Uses for Large Plastic Coffee Jugs


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 355 Posts

Uses for Large Plastic Coffee JugsI buy the large coffee jugs, the 33 oz. size. They are made so well, they have a handle on the side, with a good tight seal lid. I just can't see throwing them away. I give them to neighbors that I know, one being an older gentleman that uses them for his screws, nails and other little tools.

I have been cleaning out and organizing things and got out the jugs I was saving. So here are a few ideas I am using myself.

I love those! Since I'm not a coffee drinker, I don't have any of those containers, though. I wish I had a neighbor who would pass a few on to me. By the way, at Folgers' website, they have designs you can print out to cover their containers for holidays, etc.

I'm sure the designs can be used on other, similar containers.

This is all great, thank you! I searched around and found the Folgers link with instructions on how to decorate your empty cans --- perfect! and yep, Folgers cans have a much better grip than Maxwell House. It's Folgers for me from now on (and I love the coffee :-). I found how-to instructions on painting and labeling cans here: www.hometalk.com/.../fabulous-folger-s-coffee-plastic...

If you line them up and nail or screw them onto a board they can become cubbies for shoes or Legos or anything really. Cheaper than the toy cubbies you but at Walmart.

One of the best things about these containers is how durable they are. I have many in use. I even store clothespins in one.

The Maxwell House container had the best grip, but they changed the design. I haven't bought Maxwell House, since.

I have a dehydrator that I use to dry the ends of bread loaves. I store the dried bread ends in these plastic coffee cans until I get enough to "crumb" in my blender.

Viola! Homemade bread crumbs!

I like to use the coffee cans to put paint in when I'm painting up high. You can grasp the little handle on the side to hold on to easily.

I use them to store electrical cords like extension or outdoor cords. I have quite a few and store them on top of my freezer and know where they are when I need one

Remove both ends & discard them. Wash, then dry can(ms) well, and use them to bake brown bread, Irish soda bread, raisin bread, etc. Make sure you grease the inside of the can(s) WELL! Let bread cool in coffee can, then press firmly and steadily on one end of the bread to coax it out of the can It slices beautifully.

It also makes a great little gift for giving, wrapped in parchment and tied with colored bakers twine or ribbon! Enjoy Jeanne

Don't know if you will print this, but I use these containers as emergency pee cans on road trips and camping trips. A partial roll of tp fits inside.

We use them at events to put ticket stubs in until we draw them. Just put a slit in top to slide them in.

They are very helpful. When u need to put things away an keep them safe. These work great. U can put them away in easy places also bc they r not big an square.

The best use I have for mine (one large Yuban container) is for bird seed. :)

I have other small ones that I use for small "outdoor" types of things that I don't want to get wet.
