8. Laundry Sorting System
Got multiple baskets? Label them for whites, darks, towels, or delicates to make laundry day way easier — even kids can help sort!
9. Temporary Compost Carrier
Use a basket to collect kitchen scraps or yard clippings before dumping them in the compost pile. Just line with a trash bag or rinse it out when done.
10. Craft Supply Catch-All
Yarn, paints, paper, glue — you name it. A basket keeps all your supplies in one spot and can be tucked away easily under a desk or shelf when not in use.
Bonus Tip: Give Old or Cracked Baskets a Glow-Up
Before tossing out a worn basket, try spray-painting it, wrapping it in jute rope, or adding a fabric liner. A few simple touches can make it look like a high-end piece of home decor!
Don’t let those Dollar Store laundry baskets go to waste — with a little imagination, they can be some of the most useful and versatile tools in your home.
