I will reuse them.
by spiff on December 8th, 2007
Depends on the size of the jar. If not I recycle them'
by Anonymous on December 8th, 2007
No I would not use them and I don't want them taking up space. They get recycled.
by aQuilo not akilo on December 8th, 2007
Yes, I fill them with sand from various places in the world!
by unknown on May 26th, 2007
I keep them but I rarely use them. lol I always think I will but I never do.

I already have enough glass containers that I don't need the appropriate clutter. I just add them to the recyclables. Who needs a fancy spaghetti container when I already have some of those better airtight "ball" glass jars which have a far superior cap as opposed to any store product's
by the general on May 26th, 2007
i do reuse the glass jars that i can but the others i always recycle.
by Anonymous on May 26th, 2007
Yes. I have used them for storing small parts in at my workbench. The only problem is: if they are dropped on concrete, you've got a real mess !!
by Babycakes on May 26th, 2007
No,I just don't have the space to do it.
by Yeux on May 26th, 2007
Yes, some. I think they are good for storage, and there are some very nice ones around.
by Sheriff Raff -Answerhag on May 26th, 2007
nope, but i use the plastic water bottles of 20 ounces a few times before i recycle it
by hollyjolly on May 26th, 2007
I keep a few,but most of them go in the trash.
by tinybubbles is sitting on the carpet read on May 26th, 2007
yes i do. they are good to make soups in and to make other things.
by Carmella on May 26th, 2007
No, we throw them away. We should recycle them in the box we get for glass, but we don't get round to it :l
by Morg the Army wife on May 26th, 2007
I keep a few, but not all. I use a lot of glass jars and if I kept them all I'd just be a pack rat because I could never use them all, even when I'm making jelly.

by curlysue on November 15th, 2009
Some i use for canning but most dont have the right size tops.
by CandyAria on June 16th, 2009
I save some of them. If its a large jar, I might place rice or pasta in them. Smaller jars can be reused for homemade jams. Also to store beads, buttons and fabric trims. I keep some aside for when I need to clean paintbrushes for watercolours.
by XxScarredxX on February 12th, 2009
I reuse a lot of them but not all of them. The ones I dont reuse I recycle.
by curiousgeorge on February 12th, 2009
I reuse a few over and over, the rest I recycle.
by Salty Light on September 27th, 2008
yes, I re use them: I use them at home for food storage instead of tupperware, and when I give give food as a gift I put it in a glass jar...I make a lot of different foods and give as gifts for Christmas...salad dressing, bbq sauce, marinades, soup, etc.
I also freeze food in them.
by melissapretoria on July 3rd, 2008
I save them and use them to store dry good such as raisins, pasta, dried beans. I also use them to store leftovers in the fridge. A great way to save money I used to spend on ziploc bags and tupperware!
by aydeology on February 9th, 2008
Yes. But only a select few. I recycle the rest so I don't become a pack rat.
by Vampyre Bat on February 9th, 2008
I do when I need them to hold some things or to store food in the fridge from time to time.
by Galeanda on December 8th, 2007
A few jars of certain shapes and sizes get kept but I don't save every jar I find like I used to. Then all you have is a jar collection and not useful objects.
by Yarnlady is happy every day on December 8th, 2007
I am an avid crafter, and I use them to keep craft items in, and I make craft items out of them. I get the most use out of vase size jars, because I can use them with children and paints.
by Symbeline on October 24th, 2009
I do, although I find that I rarely use them.
by Mastodon on November 30th, 2009
Yes
by RC loves ice cream on October 24th, 2009
I keep about half a dozen. The rest I recycle.
by 4down2 on November 30th, 2009
