Don’t Junk Those Cheap Rubbermaid Containers from Walmart — Here Are 10 Brilliant Ways to Reuse Them
We’ve all been there — standing in the kitchen, holding a stained, slightly warped Rubbermaid container that’s seen better days, debating whether it’s time to toss it. But before you junk those budget-friendly plastic containers from Walmart, think again! These humble heroes can be repurposed in dozens of clever, useful ways that save you money and reduce waste.
1. Drawer Organizers
Use old Rubbermaid containers to organize drawers in the kitchen, bathroom, or office. Group pens, batteries, paper clips, makeup, or spices — it’s like instant, no-cost organization!
Pro tip: Mix and match different sizes for a custom drawer layout.
2. DIY Planters
No need to buy fancy pots. Punch a few drainage holes in the bottom and use your containers to grow herbs, succulents, or small flowers. You can even decorate them with paint or washi tape to give them a facelift.
3. Snack Stations
Create a grab-and-go snack bin in your pantry or fridge. Fill a Rubbermaid container with granola bars, dried fruit, crackers, or juice boxes so kids (and adults!) can easily help themselves.
4. First-Aid Kits
Designate a container for a portable first-aid kit. Keep one in your car, garage, or travel bag filled with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and more.
Bonus: Use different colored containers for different kits — one for kids, one for pets, one for sports gear, etc.
5. Craft & Hobby Storage
Crafters, rejoice! Rubbermaid containers are perfect for organizing beads, buttons, thread, paint, or sewing tools. Label them clearly and stack them on shelves for a tidy and inspiring creative space.
6. Frozen Meal Prep
Even if they’re a little worn, many Rubbermaid containers are still safe for freezer use. Use them to store soups, stews, sauces, or chopped veggies for future meals. Just don’t overfill — frozen food expands!
