When I buy extra it's usually in plastic though and that now goes for recycling. Most of our milk is delivered in returnable reuseable glass bottles.

As previously mentioned, they're wonderful for starting plant seedlings when the top from the handle up is removed. The bottom two inches are great in a pinch for temporary pet/small livestock feed & water dishes. One can even make a clothes pin caddy which hangs conveniently on the clothes line. Gallon plastic jugs can be reused in ways only limited by one's creativity and resourcefulness. Clean plastic gallon jugs (not just from milk) are great for a bunch of different uses.

I usually have the 4 litres bottles as we have lots of cereals in our house. I normally cut the front off from neck to half way down but leave the handle at the back. I put turps or some other brush cleaner in it and stand my paint brushes in. When the decorating is done, wash the brush and sling the bottle. You can store nails in it, pegs, cottons and many other uses. The bird feeder is a great one. I'll certainly try that. John I love these plastic containers.

With 3 growing kids, I can't use that many bird feeders! I used to buy my milk from a dairy that used returnable glass bottles, but since I’ve moved, I’ve had to recycle.
