Here's a handy little something I do at work.
We print banners and posters on three-foot-wide HP paper. Each roll of paper comes in these long, narrow cardboard boxes.
One day, I got the bright idea to start keeping our fluorescent tubes in the boxes until they could be recycled. And it works great: there's a little plastic or paper tube in the box that kept the paper rolled up, and the lights slide right in.
Every once in a while, I take a stack of them to our drop-off site. "Reuse" comes before "recycle," and this is a handy way to reuse something so unique.
