Repurposed 5 gallon buckets

[saltwaterfish.com Verified Sponsor]

Being in the fish hobby I have an abhorrent amount of 5 gallon buckets. I've repurposed them into a couple of different items around the house such as planter pots, recycling bins for inside the house, RO water storage/auto top off containers, and storage for fish foods or medications. Do any of you repurpose your 5 gallon buckets? Or just recycle them once they are past their use.

I combined 2 of the taller 7 gallon buckets to make a sawdust collection container/cyclone off my table saw.

Not a direct answer, but I get my salt in boxes specifically to avoid the collection of buckets

I have one now dedicated to car washing and another to porch floor washing. A third I use with a Bucket Buddy to organize my beekeeping tools and materials. A fourth use to capture bee swarms. A fifth I use to store tile setting grouts and mortars to store in the garage and keep most of the humidity out of them. A sixth I use to mix organic materials as fertilizers for my vegetable and fruit gardens as needed per testing. A seventh and eighth I use in honey extraction and to cleanly store honey-handling small items. A ninth and tenth are for tossing weeds in while hand-weeding. And of course I have a bunch to transport and store RO/DI and to store mixed Saltwater. I think that's it! Until I have another bucket. Then I'm certain I will find a use for it, too.
