throw away an empty Heinz beanz fridge pack plastic jar

[samithesausage]

Well... I have loads of glass storage jars.... You can't recycle them and I have no random crap to store in them.
Would I be unreasonable to throw it away?. I get pangs of guilt everytime I do, yet cannot find a use for it!
Anyone else think of a use for one?

[hairylemon]

Yes, use it to assist in filling up your bin :)

Are you sure it can't be recycled? They take them where I live.
If not, it would make the right kind of container to clean paint brushes in or use in the shed for random nails and screws.

why can you not recycle it? I am I do with mine.

[ChippingInNeedsCoffee]

Do you not have children with endless amounts of treasure crap?

Why do you keep buying them - why not buy beans in tins and tip them into the plastic pot? At least you can recycle the tins?!

[lisaro]

I keep my silicone bun cases in one.

[HeadfirstForHalos]

Try buying recyclable tins? But keep one of the plastic ones to keep any usused beans from the tin in

[HeadfirstForHalos]

Sorry Chipping beat me to it :)

[samithesausage]

Yes, I have children and unfortunately they have large bits of crap not small bits of crap!
I didn't think of screws and nails -might be a bit safer than a glass jar of screws.
I also just now thought of putting my favorite biscuits in one and putting it up somewhere high (kids raided the biscuits Yet again!)
Beamur, squeakytoy: Recycle people won't take the jars because they are a "type 5" plastic and will only take types 1&2 bottles only plastic. You have to be careful because if you have too much unsuitable plastic, they won't take it..
Headfirstforhalos: that is probably the best use for the baked bean jar! [big grin] tins are a lot easier to recycle than plastic anyway, so I will probably will do that!

Now I wish I hadn't of thrown the other two away! :)

I'm keeping mine to put money in
