should be called "free dustpan", since we don't really buy the milk carton. We just buy the milk and the carton is included.

I like this idea, especially for those really messy jobs that you don't want to ruin a good dustpan on.

was because all I've ever done is cut the top off one whenever I've needed a paint can. Then, when I was in Cuba a few months back I noticed they don't cut the whole top off to do that - they just make a hole in the upper side opposite the handle which leaves the handle to hold it.
