Mods, I wasn't really sure where to place this, so move if it makes more sense elsewhere.

At my job we've been chipping away at an all-points cleanup. The other day I found (in plain sight where video and sound techs walk by them ALL the time) probably 10 or 12 glass 1-gallon pickle jars. They are covered with dust, so I know they've been there a long time.

The inclination among many here is to simply toss the lids/recycle the jars. But....

If these came into your hands, what would YOU do with them? Any good ideas for using these things? I thought about taking some home for DH to put screws, nuts, etc., in, but he really doesn't collect much of that sort of thing.

They just seem like they might be useful, but maybe not?

One of the preschool teachers said she'd take them if they were plastic, but not since they're glass (could break/glass everywhere).
