Re-using Egg Crates
by LiRa
Egg crates come in either plastic or carton. For obvious reasons, I prefer mine in carton/paper as it is more biodegradable. But both types may be used for several other purposes such as these below:
- Cut the excess part, or cut just the right size and place the crate inside the drawer for use as great organizer. Store paper clips, pins, tacks and little trinkets like fancy earrings or rings there.
- Cardboard egg crates make good use when you’re out barbecuing or camping in the backyard. Put charcoal briquettes on the crates, light it up and watch as it even out the flames, so you can barbeque with ease.
- Taking down the Christmas lights? Wondering where you can store these so that it doesn’t break and will still be of use by the time the next holiday rolls over? Then, store your Christmas lights in these egg crates. You eliminate the tangles or minimize broken bulbs by doing so.
- Egg crates are tailor made for storing golf balls! Or if you aren’t into golf….what about your kids’ ball toys?
- The plastic egg crates make excellent ice cube trays!
