Uses for those kitty litter buckets?

[Sammimom]

With my endless succession of foster cats, we have a ton of those kitty litter buckets! I can't help but think they are rather nice to put in curb-side-recycling, does anyone have some good uses for them? I do use one to soak laundry in, and a couple for garden bed storage of little things.

I use them as chicken feeders! Just cut holes in the sides at the bottom, and attach a flower pot drip pan.

Husband made a chicken waterer out of one.

We store scratch or birdseed in them, use them to transport or house chicks when it's time to clean the brooder.

I use it as a mop bucket. My son plays the drums on one.

Drill a few holes at the bottom and each one holds enough soil for a pepper, tomato or melon plant.

We use one (sometimes two) to store the bags full of scooped dirty litter until it's time to take them off to the dump

One is full of oyster shell
another BOSS sunflower seeds
another holds some planted herbs
another is our poop bucket for the chickens; where we scoop their sand litter into and then haul off to the compost pile
they are useful too for my morning chores, fill one up with feed to take out to the coops and distribute food in the a.m.
when my daughter was a baby I used one to hold bleach water & soild (but rinsed) cloth diapers between washings
they also make great places to store kids toys; get all those little things up off the ground
use them to haul/bring in produce from the garden

and so on and so on and so on... honestly I get tired of seeing those pink lids everywhere... but they do make spray paint for plastic if you care that much

Some people make Nest Boxes out of them.

I don't have any cats so I don't have any of them but I have been asking people at work if they have any they don't want I will take 1 or 2 so I can make a Nest Box out of it and see how it works for my girls.
