I barely planted some flowers so this is great for me! AND I have already given it some of my water!

Be careful what type of water is tossed out though – something with a high salt content can kill your plants, as can water that has reached the boiling point (no pouring it on the plants when still hot!) or has oil swimming on top. If you can manage to scoop off the oil-water mess at top and still don’t want to pour it down the sink, you can save the oily dregs in a bag for proper disposal at a later time.

that it such a great idea, thanks!

This is a great way to conserve water!

put a couple gallon bucket in the shower with you, if you don’t want to put it on your plants, or live in an apartment, you can use it to flush your toilet with the yello gets too mellow!

this is really really smart! :) wow!!! i like it!!!! :D everyone should DEFINITELY do this!!!

this is a really good idea!

wow i can’t believe i never thought of that before!

I keep empty bottles by the sink and fill them up when running the water to reach temperature. The collected water can be used for anything.

I even keep a watering can under my sink to make it more convenient. We often have guests leave a half drunken glass around or water from rinsing produce.
