Empty plastic bottles
are used as floats by local fisherman as buoys for all sorts of traps and hooked lines. Also seen them used as fishing reels much like the beer can.
I have been out-fished by many a local using appropriate technology while the fat gabacho, me, with high priced gear gets schooled on how it is done
over and over again.

Do plastic coke bottles have any economic value, in terms of recycling? If not, taking them to a recycling center might actually increase the chance
of them ending up in the ocean or scattered across the desert.
Dumping worthless garbage into a recycling bin does not mean it gets recycled. It just creates a disposal problem.
Witness a study where they put "trackers" into plastic bags that were returned to the big box stores. Most of the trackers ended up in a landfill,
which is probably preferable to where some of them went: Malasia and Thailand.

When I'm on a dirt bike a long ways from fuel I'll use 2liter bottles, as soon as there's room in the tank, I'll drain and responseably dispose of
the bottle.

Crushed ice source
We freeze RO water in coke bottles. When we need crushed ice we take one out and hit it a few times with metal lime squeezer until the ice is crushed.
Then we cut the bottle open and use the ice. This way the ice always tastes fresh and keeps the freezer cold if the power goes off. We also use the
bottles to cool a cold bag when shopping,

I could tell stories of the uses of Coke bottles in Olongapo City, Philippines in the early 70's....
But I'm sure this is not the right audience for them...
Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

Paco,
I’m a child of the ‘60s ‘50s as well! You probably have no idea some of what went on!
We’re talking California here!

Oh , I think I have a clue. I grew up on Venice/Santa Monica beaches.
Still home based here, although I travel internationally, about 9 months a year.

Paco,
I grew up a few miles from there and worked for lots of Commercial and Film people in that area, mostly on Abbot Kinney. It was a great place in the
‘60s.
