Liquid Detergent Jugs Recycling Ideas

Useful ways to recycle liquid laundry detergent jugs.

Recycling is a way of life for most of us, but sometimes even old-timer recyclers get stumped for ideas on how to re-purpose an item. Empty liquid laundry detergent jugs can be given new life and kept out of our landfills. I will give you a few recycling ideas for liquid laundry detergent jugs.

Recycle that laundry detergent jugs into a bio-hazard container for lancets or insulin needles. The thick plastic of the container and screw on lid make it perfect for this.

Keep dry dog food and cat food in liquid laundry jugs. Buy in bulk to save money, then store and pour from the laundry jugs.

Fill an empty laundry detergent jug with water and keep in the trunk of your car in case your radiator overheats or some other emergency for which you might need water.

Carry a liquid laundry detergent jug filled with kitty litter in your car trunk so if you are stranded in snow and ice, you will have the kitty litter available for traction.

If you make your own laundry detergent, what better container to store it in than a recycled liquid laundry detergent jug?

The super sized liquid laundry detergent jugs with the spouts on the bottom have many recycling uses in the garage and outdoors.

After the liquid laundry detergent jugs have been thoroughly washed, they are great to carry drinking water or hand washing while spending the day at the lake or beach.

Look around the garage for recycling uses for liquid laundry detergent jugs. Store gas for small engines like lawn mowers in a jug, store your gas and oil mix for weed eaters in another.

Gardening supplies like dry fertilize, lime or pest control can be safely store in liquid laundry detergent jugs. The handles on the jugs make transport of these items around the yard easier too.

  1. We use them for hand washing stations at Girl Scout Camp-poke a hole in the side near the bottom and tie a golf tee to the handle to use as a plug. Tie an old nylon stocking with a bar of soap in the toe to the handle, too. Tie the jug to a tree at chest height and fill with water. Put the lid on. When someone wants to wash up, take the lid off and remove the golf tee for a great stream of water to use with the soap!

    Enjoyed the article-hope you’ll visit some of mine!

  2. I like all of these ideas except the ones where you are storing food in a container that has held soap. I’m not too sure about that.
