I regularly receive wine bottle samples of one or two bottles at a time and these come wrapped in polystyrene tube protectors. Up until now I've been throwing them out, but I'm now wondering if I've been throwing out items that might be recycled for a practical propogating/general allotment use.
Unfortunately I don't have pictures of them, so I hope you'll get some idea of their size and shape from my description:
imagine a wine bottle sprayed with 1-inch thick layer of polystyrene so that it ends up being a cylinder approx 6-inches in diameter and 15-inches tall. It is then cut horizontally, bottle taken out to leave halved hollow cylinders. The bottom seems more useful as 'bucket' shape from bottom of wine bottle, top half less useful as inside is pointy where supports wine neck intransit.
Also a variant:
imagine bottle sprayed with 1-inch of polystyrene so that it ends up having approx 5-inch square ends and 15-inches in length. The outer casing then cut length of bottle to leave two troughs which sit easily on ground as have flat outer. Bottle removed to leave wine bottle shape on the inside and on its side as if it were lying down.
Any suggestions on what I can do with these things?
