Seems as if they might be good for something, but I have no idea what. Don't think I'd use them for water storage, as a) it just seems gross and b) who knows what kind of chemicals are in there. |

I use them when I change my oil and such. Much easier than trying to fill quart jugs.

x3 on the waste oil
Also cut one into a scoop shape for scooping sand and salt in the winter, but could be used for other stuff like grain, maybe gardening topsoil, etc. |

DO NOT store used motor oil in them AND leave outside. The sun kills the plastic, don't ask how I know.

I use them to hold my reloading tumbling media, corn or walnut, after I open the bag they come in from walmart or the pet store.

I put the driveway/sidewalk salt in 'em. Easier to use one of those than shaking a big bag on an icy sidewalk.

i cut them up and make spreaders for my favorite tool....EPOXY......works great.
I also cut one up and made an organizer for my oversized console in my Tundra. I always keep a few stashed in the shed for oddball items. Last week i cut the side out of one and stored some market lights that i have to repair. Squirrel chewed through one of the wires. New string is $ 20 but the bucket protects the lights from damage till i get to it. I also save the square buckets the cat food comes in.... |

Why don't you buy bigger containers of litter to save money?
Anyway, when I get some from my yuppy sister-in-law, they get used for changing automotive fluids (but not stored in them). I like the tumbler media idea..

Walmart has them in the square buckets. Lord, do we have square buckets
We just started buying it at Costco (same litter) in big cardboard boxes even cheaper/lb.

I put cat food in a couple. I had trouble with raccoons getting into cat food bag, so I used a few for storage. Didn't work. Raccoons just unscrewed the lids.
 Ended up moving everything inside,but kept putting cat food in containers. Keeps cats out of cat food very well. Kitties can't unscrew lids. If cats had opposable thumbs, I'd have been found dead long ago.

Little late in the season, but those make outstanding rock salt containers. They're great for spreading the salt and also good method to put in your trunk for when you spend time away from home and may get iced in a parking spot.

A temporary bathroom? Very useful as a wizz-can. The large opening makes aiming easy, and the handle on the top allows one-handed operation.
Add a few teaspoons of chemical toilet deodorant, and you're GTG. |

Make a scoop out of it to harvest water from surface sources.
I used to keep four of them full of water for flushing toilets. Note however they are not meant to last forever, rotate them if possible. 4 gallons of water on the floor is a different ballpark from 4 gallons of cat litter. They also make pretty good "weights" if you want to do a little lifting at home without spending any money. I use a different litter now so no longer have access to them.

I store cat food (from bags), and my ready to use dry goods like rice, pinto beans, sugar, etc. in them after cleaning. They just happen to fit in my pantry perfectly.

They make good piss buckets. Like for camping or if you slept in an un-heated room / house in the middle of winter....
