RE: Reusing Paper Towel Tubes
You can always donate them to a daycare or school for art projects. I always gave my empty powdered formula cans to my sons school and they appriciated it.

RE: Reusing Paper Towel Tubes
Paper towel tubes work very well to extend the reach of your vacuum: one end in the vacuum, the other probing into those hard-to-reach places. You can also use them to store fabric, if you're a seamstress or tailor. If you can't think of anything to do with your paper towel tubes, though, you can always Freecycle them.

And if none of those ideas suit you, you can always compost them.

I slice down the side and then slip them over rolls of wrapping paper so I don't have to use tape to keep the paper from unrolling and getting messed up.

RE: Reusing Paper Towel Tubes
How about using them as a place to store electrical cords like extension cords and laptop computer cords, etc.?

Give them to a daycare. The teachers are always needing paper towel rolls for crafts.

RE: Reusing Paper Towel Tubes
Some ways I use them are; slice a line through one side and cap over wire clothes hangers to help slacks not get creases. Fill them with lint from your dryer for easy fire starters when camping. All of those rubber bands can go around them. Roll up your favorite magazine and slide inside to be able to store easier when your in your car waiting or doctors office etc. 2 taped together make cute play binoculars for kids.

They are good for storing your necklaces when you travel, or just at home if you don't have anywhere else to put them. Just thread one end of the necklace thru, and clasp it shut. You can also cut them in half and do the same with bracelets as well.

RE: Reusing Paper Towel Tubes
What about filling them with the plastic bags from the grocer and stashing them in the car and in with gardening supplies.
