Default what to do with old tubs

Hey everyone,

I recently bought some knex here and there and they all came in these colored tubs/cases.

though i stock my knex in my own large boxes and sort them out a bit

but my problem is, what to do with these old boxes.

do you guys throw them away, re-use them in some way or store them in some corner?

I use them to store my Knex. If you don't want to store Knex in them, maybe store something else in them.

I just put parts in them that I rarely need. I have one for wheels, tubing, big plastic parts, blue rods. And then I got 3 empty...

well, i got 4 large boxes now to store stuff in, and also a lot of small pots to sort stuff out so i don't realy need the cases enymore as they don't fit underneath my bed next to the 4 normal boxes

and i don't realy like the knex cases caus of their large edges, so hard to get all the parts out or to find em.
I just use a large yellow one for all the booklets and a small black one for the chains and figures.

I got a large blue one, large yellow one, another black one, an orange and a yellow one without enything in it.
My mom tells me to throw them away, but i'm not so sure about doing that yet.. if there's still other uses for them or something

I have four cases of varying colors--three of them hold K'Nex (First one holds my blue rods, second one my purple and silver 3D connectors, and my third holds all the various wheels I have). I use the fourth to hold the litter that eventually moves to my ferret's litterbox.

I can see them being used for other things, though...maybe fill them with metal weights and use them for weightlifting exercises...
