Uses for Empty Baby Wipe Containers

Don't Throw Them Away!

It seems a shame to throw away empty baby wipe containers. Baby wipe containers are made of sturdy, often colorful plastic, and the attached lids are a nice attribute. Unfortunately, numerous baby wipe containers are thrown away every day because, although baby wipes come in nice plastic boxes, people don’t always know what to do with them. There are many creative as well as practical uses for empty baby wipe holders. These uses and ideas are so simple you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of some of them yourself!

Outlet Covers

Do you need an extra large outlet cover to protect little fingers? This is one of the most practical uses for an empty baby wipe container. Simply remove the lid from an empty baby wipe box, and drill holes near the four corners. Cut a notch out of the side or end to accommodate a cord, and attach the makeshift outlet cover the wall with the appropriate hardware. Recycling a baby wipe box is a great alternative to buying an outlet cover.

Leftover Storage

Most people wouldn’t consider storing leftover foods in an empty baby wipe container, but just because baby wipe containers didn’t contain food in the first place doesn’t mean they can’t be used to store food when they’re empty. Reusable food storage containers aren’t exactly cheap, so why not recycle baby wipe holders and use them to store leftovers? As long as they’re properly washed, they make fantastic tight sealing food storage containers.

First-Aid Kits

Every home and vehicle should be equipped with a first-aid kit. If you have empty baby wipe boxes, making first-aid kits is definitely one of the best uses for those empty containers. Fill clean, dry boxes with first-aid items such as various types of adhesive bandages, alcohol swabs, triple antibiotic ointment, gauze, medical tape, latex gloves, tweezers, syrup of ipecac, any other practical necessities to administer first-aid.
