+ | We collect and reuse: | ||
+ | * jars | ||
+ | * first clean them in the dishwasher | ||
+ | * then they be placed in the pantry in lieu of the cellar renovation being finished | ||
+ | * small stable plastic buckets | ||
+ | * good containers | ||
+ | * tobacco cans, cigar boxes, ... | ||
+ | * when they are tainted by machine oil or something similar, we don't want to use them | ||
+ | * the bigger the better | ||
+ | * a bad example is the cheap plastic containers for vegetables like carrots - these break very easily and often create more hassle. | ||
+ | * If you have an idea to reuse something just ask and we'll probably be fine with it. We want to reuse as much as possible but we have to value that against the time taken. |
