How many times have you tried to relight a candle only to find the wick is buried deep in the wax? Or dropped a taper candle and it snapped in half? Don't toss them in the trash; instead use them around the house. Add wax to stuck doors and drawers to make them work better. Simply rub wax all over the sides and edges (be generous), and it should help them glide in and out with ease.

If you don't want to use harmful de-icing solution for your slippery stairs and sidewalks, try kitty litter or sand instead. While they won't melt ice the way rock salt does, they will add traction to help prevent slips and falls. For truly slick surfaces, use rock salt at a minimum and be careful to keep it away from vegetation, because it can be corrosive and harmful to plants.

Did you know aluminum foil is recyclable? After you're done baking a casserole in the oven, just peel off the aluminum and crumble it up into a ball. If it's coated with last night's dinner, a quick rinse under the sink should remove any leftovers. Toss it in the curbside recycling bin for pickup.
