We have an avalanche of wipes tubs in this house and I am always trying to find a way to recycle them. As a result, just about every cupboard you open has a tub in it with a different purpose. Here are just a few ways we use them:
Plastic Baggies- I have these in the bathrooms and in the car to hold plastic bags. These are perfect for disposing of dirty diapers (and you can ditch your Diaper Genie) or in the car for quick clean up. I usually take my own totes to the store but somehow we still manage to have tons of plastic store bags.
Petty Cash- I have a tub in the kitchen that holds any cash we might have for various reasons and also holds my rebate checks. I usually make a run to the bank as needed to deposit everything and this keeps it all organized for me.
Mud Room- I got tired of having all my husband’s things all over the counter in the mud room when he gets home. I have one tub that holds his phone, wallet, keys etc.. He stays organized and the counters are clutter free.
We have several of these in the garage to hold nails and screws. I also have a few in closets to store extra makeup, nail polishes and so much more!
