The large tidy cat (litter) containers are piling up here. I washed them out and plan to store emergency supplies in them (matches, toilet paper etc).
However, I'm seeking information on the plastic tubs themselves, and if they are safe to store pet food in (for daily use). I am using one now, but wonder if it's really safe for their food.

Right now we use 2-3 of them to store chicken feed (keeps the rats and raccoons out).
I am using one for cat food.
I am stocking up for another - matches and items that need to be kept dry.
Thanks for all your ideas. Keep them coming.

email Tidy cat with your questions, I'm sure they would be glad to answer you, or see if theres a phone number on the tub itself and call,,,

We save them up and use them for puttin compost in durin the winter. We keep them on the porch and just add to them till full. Then in the spring when it's not any icy trip out there, we empty all of them onto the compost pile.

We keep one on each porch in the winter full of sand/rock salt along with a scoop to use for icy walkways & steps. My boyfriend also uses them to hold waste oil from the truck and tractor until he can take it to a disposal site.
Lots of great uses for them!

You could also grow plants in them. Just a thought.
Hugs and Squishies!!

Thanks Elizabeth. Those are all wonderful ideas. I didn't even think to paint it. Great ideas.

I have done no research on it, but I also use it for pet food also.
I also keep the grilling tools in one. Leave it out on our balcony. I painted it first.
I use it for a cleaning bucket, keep brushes and rags etc.
They would make a great grooming bucket for the horse (or other livestock)
I also used them to carry water to the livestock in the winter.
I love those buckets and don't even have a cat anymore ...
Oh and you can reuse them for kitty litter, just buy the kitty litter in bags and pour it in! |
