Stop for a sec, GreenLiving details some of the things that you just don't easily throw away and must keep for another use.

1. Bread Ties and Clips

Bread Ties and clips are definitely useful items in organizing other stuff at home like electric cords, messy ballpens, or even tying your hair.

2. Broken Crayons

Broken crayons should be spared and not just thrown away. These crayons could be made like an artwork or you can try the outlet's advice, "melt them down and cool them in candy molds for fun stocking stuffers, gift decor, and more. If DIY isn't your thing you can even donate them to organizations that will reuse them. One company even makes specially shaped crayons to donate to hospitals."

3. Rubber Bands

Rubber bands are always useful anytime of the season. This can be used in organizing your art supplies, papers, or bundling some supplies in the pantry.

5. Wine Corks

A Wine cork could be a materials used for crafts and you can use this for "coasters, placemats, birdhouses, fairy homes, cork boards, ornaments, and even chandeliers."

6. Toilet Paper Rolls

Usually we often throw out toilet paper rolls but these can actually be used as a gift package or toys for your kids.

7. Candy Tins

This item is absolutely one thing that we can't throw out. You can save up tiny utilities in here and this mini tins can even be a great container for lip gloss.
