plastic coffee can ideas

i have access to at least two of these a week. there has to be something that can be done with them other than cleaning them out, and using them for rice, flour, cookies. i can even get sugar one that is yellow once a week (the guys tend to drink alot of coffee here)

i have to find a way to use them. i hate the idea of them ending up thrown out, there has to be SOMETHING they could be used for.

thanks,
jean
