How Can I Recycle This? is a UK-based website that aims to crowdsource creative ideas on how to recycle everything under the sun. Readers post queries, i.e. "What else can I use the metal cutting edge on a box of plastic wrap for?" and other readers sound off with suggestions.

Got any ideas (or queries) of your own? For those of you with spare brainpower, the "Packaging" section alone has 147 posts, which oughta tie you up for at least an afternoon.

Suggestions currently range from obvious ("Old jars make great Q-Tip holders") to useful ("expired, unused bandages can be sent to developing countries and re-sterilized") to please-tell-me-you're-joking (shampoo bottle jewelry, anyone?), so these guys can definitely use an influx of eyeballs and fresh brains. Archives by category are here.
