Stop throwing out old plastic water bottles. Here’s 10 brilliant hacks to use them around the house

Recycling rates are still not high enough to counteract the sheer volume of plastic waste produced. By finding creative ways to repurpose these bottles, we can reduce waste, save money, and even create useful items for our homes.
