Ironically your second link, which begins

>Milk crates are one of the most versatile products around and can be used for everything from storage to fishing, furniture or even gardening. And the best bit of all is that you can simply pick them up for free from outside stores, right?

>Wrong

has articles about using milk crates for gardening, seating, in classrooms, and on bicycles in the sidebar.

I don't follow. They're saying you can't just take them off the returns pile. As with printer cartridges, you can buy them direct and do anything you like with them... but if you got them in a milk delivery, they're still the dairy's and the dairy will want them back.

Ehh, From the website name you might infer that they sell milk crates. It stands to reason that a company which sells milk crates has lots of ideas for things to do with milk crates. It also stands to reason that a company which sells milk crates wants you to buy said milk crates from them instead of, say, stealing them.
