Everything, vegatation composts down to help produce more vegetation, solids

empty plastic drinks bottles with the bottoms cut off have a few uses, they
can be pressed into the ground over tender plants to make mini cloches, or
turned over with the wide end facing upwards they can be fixed into growbags
to fill with water, allowing a more thorough soaking.

old dustbins are filled with water to use as water butts.

Old video tapes are broken into and the tape fastened to stakes in a net
fashion, it makes a hideous racket when the wind blows on it and birds don't
like it, old CD's hung on cotton have a similar use, they flash and scare
birds away.

There's probably at least a hundred others but I can't think of them..
