Uses for plastic caulking tubes
I am doing a lot of caulking lately and it seems a shame to discard
the used plastic tubes. Any ideas as to how to reuse them? Thanks TMT

Thanks TMT Stick some batteries in them and give them to your moms (both of them) as birthday presents. They will think you gave them new dildos.

Most recycling programs would take the plastic. But you have to clean them first. The local landfill outright rejects them if they see them in a load of construction debris. If they see several, they will reject the entire load. Ron

Our recycle program requires washing of items before setting them out. I do not recycle, but I do conserve and re-use.

You mean like: - won't take medical waste? - won't take toxic chemicals? - won't take radioactive materials? Don't you support businesses making their own decisions (the landfill is a business, too)?
