Recycle used household plastic bottles


Down the chute
Cut the top section (about one-third of the way down from the top) of a plastic drink or vinegar bottle. With the lid removed, it becomes a very useful funnel.

Power shower
Drill a 12mm hole in the plastic handle of a clean and empty liquid washing detergent bottle, and several 3mm holes in its cap. Fill bottle with water, replace the cap and water your garden and potted plants.

It’s a scoop
Mark, then carefully cut an empty bleach bottle into the shape of a scoop. It makes a sturdy tool for scooping out potting mix or dishing up pet biscuits.
