During the pandemic due to lack of the option to dump the products in nearby recycler shops. It became pretty much difficult to keep all of those stuff at home. From the wine bottles to the packed milk bottles, a lot was left to throw over a period of one year.

So we are going to discuss how to reuse the glass bottles. I have tried to jot down some of the options through which I had reused the glass bottles, which you may find useful too.
Using Bottles in DIY Recycle Mode
Sometimes you don't have to throw out the bottles. Instead you want to recycle and reuse them by making some DIY usage of them. You can try out the maker magazine or the maker forums where you can try out various glass bottles for something DIY which you have not done before.
I'd also recommend you to try out the youtube videos in such case in order to learn how to reuse them. Instead of throwing them, this can be a good option for recycle.
Using Bottles in Garden
Garden is the perfect place to reuse your bottles. You can add plants into them. Like say corinader and few other plants which eventaully perish cna be planted into them for short term. Some people also add some sort of the small garden in those bottles.

So if you can explore the term "terrarium" which is pretty much fancy buzzwords with the youtube. I'd recommend you to try out the same for some good use of the plants.
Reusing the Glass Bottle in Decoration
Have you seen how some of the resto and bars are making use of the bottles and the glass in order to create some sort of the decorating effect? Some also make use of the colored bottles to add some ambiance in their garden.
I can go on and on about various ideas of how the glass bottles are being reused for the decoration. But some of the time the glass bottles seems like a good option for the design.
Reusing the Glass bottles for Watering Plants or Pets
Do you live in a place where you have birds or random pets or your own pets or even plants need regular water? Especially in winter and the summer time? You may want to use the glass bottles with some water in them. You can also cut them half to make it easy for them to consume the water.
This has been done by many in the diy videos and you can check out how to do that in your own backyard. You can check those youtube videos for some inspiration.
Conclusion
Glass bottles can be difficult to throw out as they can serve some of it's purpose even after usage. And though recycle shops don't pay much for them. You can reuse them and have some good use around your own house.
