what do you think will happen to the trash that was put in the can be reused column

Sorting and cleaning: Bottles, jars, sturdy plastic containers, and cloth bags are washed and dried.3. Repurposing at home/school:Glass jars → spice containers, DIY piggy banks, pen holders.Plastic bottles → mini planters, watering devices (poke holes in the cap), storage for beads/buttons.Paper boxes → drawer organizers or seedling trays.Old clothes → rags or upcycled tote bags.3. Community exchange/“swap corner”: Students or neighbors swap reusable items, reducing new purchases.4. Environmental impact: Reusing lowers demand for new materials, saves energy and water from manufacturing, and cuts waste volume.5. Safety reminder: Avoid reusing single-use plastics for food if not food-safe; choose food-grade containers for snacks and drinks.Bottom line: Reuse extends an item’s useful life, saves money, builds creativity, and protects the environment.
