you can wash out and reuse the little plastic tub containers that things like yogurt and cottage cheese come in and if you like, you can remove the ink labeling with a cloth or paper towel, 100% acetone nail polish remover, and a little bit of elbow grease I'm really excited about getting free containers

This is good, but after a while I had too many.

Yep, we started using them for plant pots in addition to general kitchen use after they started piling up and it still doesn't dent the pile. Only way to go zero waste is to not get them in the first place.
