I suggest two.

First is taking a 1 gal jug, such as anti-freeze, or motor oil, or similar. Laying it on its side, cut out so you end up with a plastic bin, or tub. Akin to a dishpan if you will. Second do the same with a 1 qt plastic bottle that motor oil comes in.
 Leave some plastic around the top.  I cut inside the label, leaving me about 1" to 1/12 inches on the 1 gal one, and on a quart size about 3/4" to 1"

Now what to you have?
Whatcha you have is:

- A tool to use solutions, be it low odor mineral spirits, to clean guns, tools, paint brushes, etc...
One can now save solutions, and simply pour back into another container for future uses. Because you still have the pour spout and lid.

-Parts "bin" or "tub" for parts when working on your car, for instance.

-The 1 gal one works under sinks, in the event you have a drip.

-Makes a really good, portable water bowl for your dog.
( just be damn sure to clean it out really good, as not poison your dog)

Other uses I can share, and you just have to use your imagination.
