Most people recycle empty tuna cans without realizing how useful they can be. With a little cleaning and creativity,

these small containers can become handy storage solutions that keep your fridge neat while reducing waste.

Start by washing the cans thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any oil or odor. For extra freshness,

soak them in warm water with baking soda and vinegar for 15–20 minutes, then let them air-dry. If storing food directly,

line the cans with parchment paper or plastic wrap to keep ingredients safe and your fridge smelling clean.

Tuna cans are perfect for small leftovers or prepped ingredients—like chopped herbs, diced veggies, cheese, or lemon slices. Cover with cling

wrap or silicone lids to keep them fresh. Their compact, stackable size makes it easy to see what’s inside, preventing waste and forgotten food.

For meal prep, portion out items such as nuts, sauces, or cooked chicken in labeled cans and place them on a tray for easy access.

You can even freeze small servings of soup, broth, or baby food—just leave space for expansion and transfer later to airtight containers.

Simple, practical, and eco-friendly—reused tuna cans turn everyday clutter into organized convenience.
