Start Saving Your Old Coffee Containers – Here Are 14 Ways To Reuse Them Around The House.

Coffee cans have many uses around the home once the coffee’s gone. They can be used for everything from gift giving to storage. By finding new uses for your empty coffee cans, you are reducing waste and saving money at the same time!

There are two types of coffee cans: aluminum cans and plastic containers. For the most part, either style can be used for any of these projects though you do need to remember that the metal cans will rust if exposed to water.

Whichever coffee can style you use, be sure to keep the lid! You will find it comes in handy for almost all of these frugal DIY projects.
