Free storage

Here's a tip to make free storage containers from a commonplace item that would otherwise go into the household rubbish - milk cartons.

I often use milk cartons to hold bulk DIY items such as screws, nails, plumbing joints/fittings and so on. I've got a pair of scissors with pointed ends to stab the carton with to start the cut. A carefully-used craft knife would do just as well. The cap and the top go separately into the recycling and I'm left with a useful container, complete with built-in handle!

I hope this is useful to others.
