Use a multi-purpose rain chain in your garden!
Three reasons why:
1. Alternative to gutter downspout.
2. Use base as dog dish or birdbath.
3. Looks great!

Wait! Don’t throw that away… You can compost more than you may realize.
Make sure you are aware of what is compostable; it will be your new hobby!
Anything that was once living can be added to your compost. More products these days are now compostable, such as corn-based spoons and straws.
Even this chip bag can be tossed in!
It will become more automatic to compost as you get used to it.

Bonus: Give your bulging garbage can a rest!
