Whether you’re starting to battle fall allergies or you’ve fallen ill with a cold, this new use from the blog MeckMom will make sick-day clean up much easier. Instead of trashing an empty tissue box, rubber band it to a full box of tissues, and use the empty carton as a makeshift trash can. It moves easily from bed to couch and can be tossed when it’s full.

See more new uses for old things here.
