This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Waste Streams.

Plastic containers are occasionally unavoidable to purchase.  Lets get a second use out of them by making a scoop!

 
 

Here's one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Turn a plastic jug into a scoop

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Jug you're starting with
  - Finished scoop

Small milk jug is now a salt and sawdust scoop that doubles as a funnel to keep handy in my car trunk during winter.
