I wash out the empty bottles. Rinse them thoroughly. Cut the top off of the bottle including the top of the handle. You still have the handle left for holding it and you can use it for a scoop for birdseed, pellets for pellet stoves, filling your pots with potting soil for planting, and also for watering outdoor plants and in the garden. I have a few hanging in my garage and find them very, very useful. I just leave them in the big bags I am scooping from and they are ready for the next use.

To rinse these, I just remove the top and put both the bottle and the lid in the wash with my clothes when I wash them. There is enough detergent inside the container so that I do not need to add any to that load.
This is one extra load of laundry and it also saves the water that would be used to rinse the "empty" container separately.
