Little Plastic Balls

[atalanta]

I have quite a number of those little plastic balls which come in roll-on deodorants, and I'd like to recycle them usefully. Apart from giving them to children to play with, is there anything constructive they could be used for ?

Put them in the bin our council now recycles plastic.
I find it hard to believe that someone bothers to remove the balls from empty deodorant bottles.
The latest recycling techniques allow glass. plastic. metal to be sorted out from each other and recycled.

The main ideas found by Googling are Christmas Baubles and Kokeshi Dolls.

....giving them to children to play with?.....aren't they gob-stopper size?
I foresee problems with that idea!

For goodness sake put the whole container in the recycling.

Play marbles with them.

string them and paint them for xmas decs

fishing floats

on top of sticks to use for garden edging

but really i think the best thing is to give them to kids to play with.

there is nothing wrong with not being so wasteful and trying to think of new uses for things.
