    I soak them with bleach and hot water , let them soak for a few days , put an old towel in and presto , I have a bed for a Porch Cat , inside a cardboard box in the Winter.

    We clean them out and my husband uses them for soil when he's working on the deck planters. He mixes the blend of soils and fertilizers he needs and carries it up to the deck with a small shovel. We haven't had as many as some of you, though!

    Never gave this much thought! I know they go out to hubby in the garage and at least one of them is used for oil changes There is also one with assorted screws and tools, pencils, junk, etc. In this house, they are garage accessories.

    I agree a good cleaning with bleach, then vinegar. We then let them set on the deck for a week or so, to sun bleach. They can be used for almost any thing, planters, or donate to a shelter.

    We clean ours out good and usually toss them. Using them for something else has never occurred to me although I think it could work for some things.

    I've done various things with my old boxes. Some I cleaned up best I could and sold at garage sales. One I use to empty my firepit ashes into for transport, and one I use to hold water for scrubbing the deck.
